That isn’t the only new information being revealed. According to PS Blog, “The control scheme has been revised, pushing Eagle Vision to L3. This frees up the Triangle button for secondary weapons such as daggers. I saw Ezio stab a dude with a guitar – I think they called them “lutes” back then.”
The assassin recruitment mechanic from Brotherhood has been expanded on as well. Players can bypass the tower defense-styled gameplay mechanic by raising a recruit to master level and assigning him to the tower, obviating the need to have Ezio there. Assassin recruit abilities can also be leveled, as frequent use results in fast charge times.
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations will be released on 15th November for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and at a later point it will enjoy a PC release.
