Since Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood was announced as having multiplayer, a lot of the coverage so far has been focused on “what’s it like to run around and stab people online?” For Gamescom 2010, representatives from Ubisoft Montreal have decided to show off some of the new aspects of the single-player game (they’re stating it takes about 15 hours to get through), and here’s the breakdown of the four main features of Brotherhood’s single-player.
You need to help build the city
Ezio is now trying to establish a new Assassin’s Guild right in Rome, which is approximately three times larger than Florence; so there’s a lot to do within it in the meantime. The basic concept is that Rome is a really big villa you can upgrade, but it’s not quite as simple as dumping money on a miniature version of the city. For one thing, Rome is still under control of the Borgia family, and in order to improve the city, you need to weaken the Borgia’s hold on it.
