More AC: Revelations Details

Last week, we confirmed that Assassin's Creed: Revelations is heading our way this November, but now we have a few more details on what to expect. Ezio's journey to Istanbul is fuelled by finding seals containing the memories of Altair (and when you find one, you play as Altair- yep, you read right) in a city split into four districts. You now have a hook blade which can make use of ziplines across the game world and allows for bigger hit combos in battle. Borgia Towers have been replaced by Assassin's Dens, which can give you missions to destabilise the Templar presence, while random events similar to those in GTA and Red Dead take over from side missions to add variety. Desmond's story will involve a 'Black Room', a safe place where he can manipulate his past memories and predict the future! Finally, while there will be more emphasis on the main campaign this time, multiplayer returns with a minor story of its own. This all sounds pretty exciting, but I think E3 will be the defining point of whether this semi-sequel will warrant a shorter wait.
