Assassin's Creed
We plunge into the heart of Ubisoft's crusader
But nothing is ever as easy as whacking a warlord and bumping off the odd monk, or so May reckons. “Along the way he will discover that the Crusades themselves are simply a cover for a much larger conflict - one in which he will play a pivotal role. Once this enemy is discovered, it will be up to Altair and his Assassin brothers to stop them.” So the question remains: who are “they,” exactly, and does the hunt for these faux-historical conspirators tie-in with the Holy Land’s turbulent past and, indeed, current unrest? Again, May fights speculation with speculation: “What did the Templars find beneath Solomon’s Temple? Why did they want it? Where is it today?” All good questions just waiting to be answered.
