After the events that shattered the line between memory and identity, a new subject is forced into the Animus — the bleeding-edge machine that unlocks ancestral memories hidden in DNA. But what he uncovers is more than a lost past… it’s a secret war still being fought beneath the surface of our world.Thrust into the mind of a master Assassin during Feudal Japan, the subject finds himself reliving a legacy of blades, honor, and rebellion — one that could shift the balance between free will and control in the present day.But as the boundaries between timelines begin to fracture, and the Templars close in with a weapon that could rewrite human history, the only way forward is through the past.With breathtaking action, deadly parkour, and a story that spans centuries, Assassin’s Creed 2 takes the fight to a new era — where the shadows are sharper, and the creed is more dangerous than ever.
