The trailer for Assassin's Creed: Embers above sees returning protagonist Ezio pontificating on how he's run out of time to conduct his fatherly affairs. We're not sure why he's complaining, though -- he's got until the film (and Revelations!) drops on November 15 to do what needs to be done.

I am really digging that style of animation.

It looks like that second Dead Space prequel's CGI segments.
Or in other words, trash.
Damn them for making me care so much about the mythology of Assassin's Creed. DAMN THEM TO HELL. *shakes fist*

Agreed, the CGI looks crappy. The Dead Space animated movies were all crap because they looked WAY worse than the game itself.

Nah I felt the plots were okay they filled in some of the holes that I had but the animation felt like first wave PS1 game cinematics. I was having flashbacks to Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen (which by the way still looked better).

Stunning....Question though, Is this part of the movie thats included in the collector's edition of Revelations? I sure hope they offer a CE in North America that includes this.

This looks awesome, the lip sync needs some work though.

Wow, even grandpa Ezio kicks ass. I wonder if we can somebody can beat him if he becomes a zombie assassin Ezio. haha.

Well, I guess we know who doesn't die at the end of revelations.

Copy and pasted from another comment:
Ezio cannot die in the end of AC:R as he has to conceive a child for the series to continue. Within the confines of the lore, the animus can only track a person's history up until the point when he/she conceives a child.

i can't be the only one who's getting tired of Ezio's story, can i? lets move on to another time period with another assassin, please! there's so much potential within the AC universe that i hate to see more than one game (and now a film) embrace the same protagonist.

err whoops...well maybe Embers isn't based around Ezio, but it's still the same time period. i was looking forward to seeing something come of those rumors of a game set in Russia or during the WWII era. who knows, maybe that's still in the works?

I know some people are tiring of Ezio but this is a rare opportunity to see a really well-realized character in gaming. I'd probably, from a story and acting standpoint rate Ezio as the best protagonist of modern gaming, with John Marsden pulling in second.
Honestly I think AC has settled on Ezio for this long only because of how nicely the character has developed and remained sympathetic through it all. He also gets high points for voice acting, bringing the italian accent without being a caricature.

So they basically just confirmed that Ezio wont die at the end of Revelations.

Imagine a whole AC game in this style?!
