The video features in-game footage from Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations, and compares them with the current-generation versions seen in the Ezio Collection. Check out the video below.

Assassin’s Creed Ezio Collection is due out on PS4 and Xbox One on November 18, 2016. In addition to featuring enhanced versions of all three titles in the Ezio saga, the bundle includes all available downloadable content for each game, two Assassin’s Creed short films fleshing out Ezio’s story, and a ticket towards the upcoming Assassin’s Creed film worth up to $8.

The Ezio trilogy is widely regarded among gamers as the best games in the multi-million selling stealth-action franchise to date, and released over a period of three years between 2009 and 2011 for PS3, PC, and Xbox 360. 

Ubisoft won’t release a new Assassin’s Creed game this year, bringing an end to the annual release schedule that it has employed since 2010’s Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Instead, the company is taking time off this year to focus on the next instalment in the series, rumored to be titled Assassin’s Creed Empire. The game is expected to ship in 2017.

Assassin’s Creed is also making the leap of faith to the silver screen this December, with Michael Fassbender starring as Callum Lynch, a modern-day criminal who is the descendant of an assassin who lived during the Spanish Inquisition. The movie also stars Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, and Michael K. Williams. 

Stay tuned for our review of the Assassin’s Creed Ezio Collection.
