Assassin's Creed: Revelations is a 2011 video game published by Ubisoft and was developed by its subsidiary, Ubisoft Montreal. A direct sequel and follow-up to 2010's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Revelations is the fourth main installment of the series.^[1][2]
Set after Brotherhood, Revelations continues the story of Desmond Miles, who has fallen into a coma due to the events of the previous game. In order for him to awaken again, Desmond must relive the last significant memories of his ancestor, the Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who sought out the secret library of the Mentor of the Levantine Assassins, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, in 1511.
A sequel to Revelations was announced in March 2012, entitled Assassin's Creed III, and was released on October of the same year.

Development

The idea behind Assassin's Creed: Revelations was initially conceived for a game in Nintendo's newest portable console, the Nintendo 3DS, and was originally titled Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy. The original plot involved Ezio journeying to the fortress of Masyaf to uncover Altaïr's secrets, which Revelations would later adopt. Lost Legacy was quietly canceled, and had been extensively reworked into Revelations.
Despite Jean-Francois Boivin releasing a statement that no Assassin's Creed game would be released in 2011, Yves Guillemot hinted that there would be "something Assassin's related" that year. True enough, a teaser regarding the game and its title was released on the Assassin's Creed Facebook page, and flashed several hints regarding the story and setting, such as images of Constantinople and Masyaf, and information regarding the former protagonist Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. That same year on May 5, GameInformer released details and screenshots about the game, such as showing images of an older Ezio Auditore and new weapons like that of the Hookblade. The game was then officially announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) of 2011.
