As a direct prequel to the critically acclaimed console title Assassin's Creed, you explore the story of Altair, who must find the Chalice, an object of such power that its possessor can end the Crusades. Altair navigates a fully realized 3D world and travels through four cities of the Middle East during the Crusades. The game features, like its console counterpart, acrobatic movements and exciting combo attacks that combine sword skills and kicks. The year is 1191 AD, and the Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to end the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict.
