As if taking the role of Altaïr in those errant dream sequences interspersed throughout Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood wasn't enough, Ubisoft is giving players the chance to play the middle eastern assassin for real, by including the original Assassin's Creed game onto Revelations as a bonus for PS3 copies.
The bonus is only available to those who buy a new copy of the game.
In Assassin’s Creed Revelations, master assassin Ezio traces the footsteps of his predecessor, Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad. Now, gamers will be able to go back to the beginning of the Assassin’s Creed storyline as the day one copies of Assassin’s Creed Revelations on PlayStation®3 will include a copy of the original Assassin’s Creed.
Whether being introduced to the award-winning original Assassin’s Creed for the first time or going back to relive the start of the epic journey, players will be drawn into the secret war between Templars and Assassins in ancient Jerusalem.
It's a nice plus for someone like me, who only jumped onto the series with the second game and completely missed the first.
Assassin's Creed Revelations is set for a November 15 release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
