Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia - The Making Of

[TheDirectorKing]

4:38 oh damn....

[miXXermusic]

will you be restocking again this year???!! =((

[vlatko775]

pls can you tell me would you relase more encyclopedias because it is sold out now :(

[TheBarcodeGamer]

1:14 3:40 and 4:36 look like American Revolution to me :O

[bigbuckeyes]

@TheBarcodeGamer my buest guess, they wouldn't allow this to be so easily deduced. They probably created a bunch of posters throughout history and stuck an assassin in there.

they didn't take the video there on accident, they meant for us to see it. It may or may not be in america, but its definitely not by accident that we know this.

[thegorgatron1]

@TheBarcodeGamer Actually American Civil War, That appears to be a Union Cavalry Line Officers Dress uniform the assassin is wearing.

[teojm37]

Oh no! Just when I got the money it goes out of stock again.

[Cococrash11]

Great video.

[KARATEdude96]

i must say i don't like the idea of american civil war as the new setting because it will obviously mean less hand to hand and sword fighting and more guns, and it is the hand to hand and swords that make AC, AC and not COD. like this if you agree becuase I really don't want AC to lose what i love about it.

[Spulpacz]

way to spoil assasins creed 3 with the picture

[nix98zlcy]

4:41 nex asassins creed is behind there

[shukla714]

The next assasins creed will take place in Italy again both ezio and Altair will come back to life as skeletons similar to the ones in skyrim they will reach the shroud and have the ability to stop the comet from landing like in majoras mask..

[aa3gunner]

Why couldn't our history textbooks back in High School look like this??

[MisterFro9]

Assassins creed has gone downhill... 1&2 pro, brotherhood ok, revelations = brotherhood

they put it on these gadgets, but i dont remember a single time in brother hood where i was waiting for my chance to strike.

[blabla12331]

@MisterFro9 i think it is more about the story. They have a pretty strict deadline to follow, that's why they kinda rush things, although it didn't seem rushed to me, it's just what others were saying. Main point, the story is beautiful :)

[bonebrightster]

when are they available for purchase?

[FakaMo]

NVM! THE PIC IS TROLLIN YOU ALL! IT IS IN THE CARTE BLANCE. IN THAT CARTE BLANCE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ASSASSINS. DONT GET YOUR HOPES TO HIGH ON CIVIL WAR! GET YOUR HOPES ON FRENCH REVO!!!!!

[soulstealer450]

@FakaMo Thank god for that.

[Syk0Enigma]

@FakaMo dude thats fan art so it may or may not be canon

[FakaMo]

i dont think ubisoft would be that stupid to show that 'civil war assassin'. Im not sayin that it wont be cool. but we now have either the French revolution or the American Revolution.

[collosuz]

oh look assassin in american civil-war era! probably the theme for AC3?

[tontsa911]

Y ARE U SOLD OUT?! :(

[UbiWorkshop]

@tontsa911 Yes we are, but we'll be restocking early next year

[1qazjuke]

@UbiWorkshop when will pre orders be available and please make enough not to go out of stock right away ):

[xmodmodifier]

@UbiWorkshop thank you ubisoft...

[1qazjuke]

@UbiWorkshop how many will be made, can you please print more so it doesnt sell out right away

[teojm37]

@UbiWorkshop Any news on when the next batch is coming in?

[LeClassics]

@UbiWorkshop It's Feb now... still nothing :(

[snake89453]

Bethesda needs to make a book like this for The Elder Scrolls universe. Elder Scrolls has so much lore, I don't know why they haven't thought of this yet.

[mytoastismine]

@snake89453 Perhaps Fallout too.

[eatmyasia]

I got my AE today, and I was completely blown away by the quality of the content and the physical build of the encyclopedia; more than any other special/limited edition of any game I've bought before, this by far made me feel the most appreciated and respected as a fan. You guys outdid yourselves.

[worldofpaul12]

@eatmyasia does it acutally have information on other assassins that arent introduced in the games...ignoring daniel cross and nikolai orelov and the mentor etc ....

[capitanoinsano]

@eatmyasia From your comment I have deduced that you are 100% gay and proud of it. And probably Asian.

[nory826]

Can't wait to grab this tomorrow

[Ji66saw]

4:13 Raphael Lacoste - Art Director? Or really an Assassin (with a clothing line)?

[xPo1S0nXs0DaX]

Ok, where can I get this.

[sinisan14]

just saw the ending.... really sad but epic!

/watch?v=6kAyaekSevI&feature=r­elated

watch all the parts!!!

[andylova]

Ezio dies when his 65?! 1:39

[GOOBENsticks]

@andylova I could have lived my life happily without knowing this :(

[FredIsMyName22]

I'd love to get this after AC:R and AC:Embers...

[PlatinumBlade13]

We don't need an encyclopedia. We have a wiki.

[SharkboySalvatore]

@PlatinumBlade13 Yes, we do. The Internet is untrustworthy.

[gmk120]

guys, ac was confirmed to be a trilogy, how can we still be fucking around with the Animus if Desmond has to end the war and save the world? because i don't think he will be able to do that with an Animus...

[FredIsMyName22]

@gmk120 BLEEDING EFFECTTTT

[gmk120]

@FredIsMyName22 desmond already has the skills from AC 2, he doesn't need more training

[FredIsMyName22]

@gmk120 Incorrect. He does need more training. In Brotherhood and in AC2, he still wasn't a master of the blade or of free-running. They also need to unlock the memories to discover the locations of the temples and now he's stuck in the Animus... Do you want the games to end so abruptly?

[gmk120]

@FredIsMyName22 no, i don't, but ubisoft already said that AC would be a trilogy

[lionxhero]

@gmk120 no they just said that the Altair/Ezio arc would be a trilogy there are already rumors going around for a new game with a new ancestor

[gmk120]

@lionxhero they said a trilogy for Desmond's story, maybe another one will start but with a whole different story

[BassHelal]

Will this be in stores such as Virgin?!

I live in Qatar and I dont think anything can be shipped here so I thought I could buy it seperately!

[brkkncnsz]

EA disliked this video

[TheBumbleBunny]

I would like a tatto of the assassins creed mark ^^

[MrLevua]

why the fuck they all weird

[GAMESTERA13]

@MrLevua The game was made in Montreal, Quebec, which is made in CANADA, not the US. Quebec is the part in Canada where french is most used. These people just have french accents because that's what they are used to. It's not weird, its just an accent.

[airgilbert]

only 256 pages?

pass

[ataraxiaism]

0:26 catalog for tattoo anyone?

[MrTouloir]

@omryhaim It could be the French Revolution too. Remember the end of ACB : seeing the Apple's symbols, Shaun talks about the phrygian cap and the masonic eye :

"You see them together in only one place :..." --> the Declaration of the Human rights, written during the French Revolution. Coincidence ?

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

It's pretty big bullshit that the Black Edition of the encyclopedia included in the Animus Edition doesn't have the fan and company artwork compared to the individual White Edition. I don't wanna have to pay like an extra £20 so I can have two varied copies of the same item. At the same time, I don't wanna quit out on everything the Animus Edition offers just so I can get that little extra bit.

Damn it, Ubisoft.

[GAMESTERA13]

@IAmCaptainMarvel I live in Canada, I have no choice of getting the animus edition, but really, its not a big problem. You could get the signature edition (or the ultimate bundle edition if you really wanna pay $100 (bout 70 euros) extra for a couple of dolls). Then you could buy the white edition of the encyclopedia (which has more anyway) from the ubiworkshop, and then wait for the dlc for the crusader. Exact same stuff, for a much lower price.

[guyklinger1]

@GAMESTERA13 You live in canada :)

[GAMESTERA13]

@guyklinger1 yup :)

[IAmCaptainMarvel]

@GAMESTERA13

Sounds pretty good. It'll probably cost even less since I live in the UK (pounds £).

[footeddolphin]

why doesnt it let me pay with pounds instead of dollar on the ubiworkshop? theres an english guy for the pound and french guy for the euro. why cant i use these payment methods for the awesome stuff they have? is there even a way of changing the currency that i havent seen?

[omryhaim]

4:38

did anybody notice the background picture on the left??

I think that this is a clue to the next game because if you finished brotherhood: the davinci disappearance you were given coordinates that if you put them in google maps you get a town in upstate new-york which is known for its significance for the civil war. And now we get this picture!! I think we have our answer for what will be the next game!!

[SDBPR]

Yes!!! Flow charts!!!!

[TheMercDeadpool1]

because its available online and not in a canadian preoder package (which is bs because your fucking from montreal) i wont be able to get the encyclopedia because i cant put credit card info on the internet

[GOOBENsticks]

@TheMercDeadpool1 The makers are from UK, they just have a company section in Montreal. Be lucky you get the game at all you ungrateful fuck

[TheMercDeadpool1]

@GOOBENsticks lol, ungrateful? i pay for the gme. why the hell should i be grateful? because you lucky tht the gme is even available in canada is tht it? do you know how much money they'd lose if it wasnt? and by the way its a ubisoft montreal gme. the gme is made by ubisoft montreal. (hence why the developers in this vid have french accents)

[ItachiUchiha2010]

Is it just me or did anyone else see the Civil War Assassin picture at 4:35?

[spider1g5]

@ItachiUchiha2010 I have to say this... I'm a fan of history (due largely to assassin's creed). I'm working on a screenplay for a web series kinda like 'assassin's creed generations' when I remembered, U.S officers in the civil war had a RED SASH as part of the military dress. Bingo! I thought of this 2 months ago. Great minds think alike eh?

[zavulon06]

@ItachiUchiha2010 Absolutely 

[Fros7bite]

@ItachiUchiha2010 It's just community art, not canon. It's been confirmed.

[razarsenal180]

@ItachiUchiha2010 I think it's just fan art.

[julio8492nd]

@ItachiUchiha2010 It's been confirmed to be fanart, mate, but they made a survey not long ago which had a list of the next possible locations of AC3, and the civil war era in the United States was on that list. Let's hope they do an actual civil war assassin, I think it would be cool, but I prefered they made a game in the WW2 era.

[300warrior300]

@ItachiUchiha2010 It looks like a red herring to me...it's massively out of focus.... I bet it was whipped up on photoshop in 5 seconds...look at the size of his head

[t260y]

Subject 16, even though blurred out, looks allot like Desmond, or at least his skin tone is. And when I paused the video to read the small snippet of his personality, I was dying to read what comes after, " Subject sixteen gathered a new sense of purpose after Vidic found out he was a direct descendant of ..." Well...we kind of already know he's related to Ezio.

[shadic700]

did anyone see at 0:55 - 1:00 if you look at the characters list it says william miles and in brotherhood the guy that finds desmond is william m. so that means that william is probably desmonds father

[ciumpilex]

1:40 lucy,desmond and williams in the base of assassins.

[t260y]

@ciumpilex actually, that was old concept art for Assassin's Creed 2. I like that design more than the one they actually did use for AC:2 :P

[sammyd64]

HOLY CRAP - 4:34 behind the guy talking theres an american civil war assassin :O :D

[FlikkyFilms]

i kinda think they ruin Revelations with Embers, why make a 23 minute short film with really weird animation that shows Ezio (probably) dying, when u can have one big epic mission that shows Ezio dying, thats what i hoped Revelations would be.

[Ebrainiac1]

Is there any doubt at all that it will be released in april for PC users?

[revelationsassassini]

you can see ezio old at 4:25

[aippli]

Thanks for letting me know the death dates :(



[TJamesE0607]

I really want to buy this, but I dont want to spend the same amount on the book itself as the postage :( Guess i'll wait until Christmas...

[hellonfire30]

i hate how the animus edition of Assassin's Creed Revelations is only in Ireland and UK, they should have it in the US

[henxr678]

Shit I have to get this. But I can't afford Animus Edition. What should I do?

[LadyLatias]

@henxr678 The encyclopedia is available for separate purchase.

[henxr678]

@LadyLatias Good!

[lolyoulolJkeil]

@henxr678 Ask neighbors or parents to do chores for a few bucks an hour. Or get a part-time job? Or sell some games you don't play anymore so you can get some cash. Just an idea.

[henxr678]

@lolyoulolJkeil Hmm.. selling games sounds like a good idea, or doing chores.. Yeah, I like that. Thanks!

[AvieMetal]

The Community Writer is definitely on crack xD

The Art Director is veeery handsome.

Can't wait to know what next AC will be about (the one after Revelations)... I will miss Ezio, though.

[Jramssy]

subject 16 looks like he did in the comic book

[shimatta333]

3:08

Don't tell me that guy wasn't on speed

[TheBumbleBunny]

@shimatta333 What if he was O.o??

[Kryptonian250]

Ezio´s Family is the theme of the game, in my opinion.

[UltimaRedFireEskimo]

when they spoilers...i hope we didn't already find them out through this preview. Idk we just might've found out the next protagonist, we found out the dates that Altair and Ezio will die, etc.

[ADZ4843]

Russia is where the next assassins creed takes us cant wait

[Dab3stxblasassassin]

@ADZ4843 totally wrong its in France!the new comic book will take place in Russia again

[KingGopherNuts]

@Dab3stxblasassassin there is no evidence as of yet as to where ACIII is. Community polls want French Revolution or Victorian Era, however when I talked to UbiGabe at PAX he hinted to me that the series *may* be going backwards in history instead of forwards. However, only the geniuses at Ubisoft know, and thats how it'll stay for quite some time.

[TheMercDeadpool1]

@KingGopherNuts i doubt it will go backwards because then players wont be able to use all the new gadgets available. now i could go without a lot of the gadget but i need the parachute

[shimatta333]

Who the fuck is Shao Jun

[dmprg]

@shimatta333

She appears in Embers trailer.

[brammatie2]

3:08 What a doucebag nerd JESUS

[RuneHeroesBase]

I hope Ezio died naturally, I don't want him to be killed!!

[Tuboscus]

Who elsed noticed that Altair and Ezio are about 100 years apart?

[liesder]

0:57- Right beneath "Friends and Allies".. "William Miles".. Could that be "William M"?? and if his surname is "Miles", could he be Desmond's father???

Man I kinda diddn't like to know when Ezio and Altair died it made me sad...

One more thing.. whya are they releasing this encyclopedia right now?? Isn't AC3 coming up?? Isn't there gonne be a new ancestor or even some new info or locations or something?? Couldn't they wait until the franchise is done with to release a more complete work???

[thepopesmybitch]

@liesder yeah i heard about that on the assassins creed wiki but in brotherhood desmond reads those emails from william m wouldnt desmond bring that up?

[LadyLatias]

@liesder The encyclopedia actually originally only started out as an art book and grew into an encyclopedia. It comes free with the animus edition and it's probably highly doubtful AC3 will be the end of AC series. Might as well cram more in.

[LadyLatias]

It's...weird... knowing how it's EXTREMELY possibly we will see Ezio's death in Embers. I mean, this is someone a lot of us have essentially seen grow up. We witnesses, experienced his birth. Watched as his life crumbled around him at age 17, watched as for the next 23 years, he grew into a fine Assassin... watched as he lost Mario, watched as liberated Rome... we'll watch his struggle to learn of Altair and his secrets... and now, we may also watch his death...

[Ins0mniacGamer]

Shao Jun?!?!?!??!? like...AC III ?? o.O

[millicay666]

@Ins0mniacGamer no, shao jun like ezio's apprentice in ac embers.

[MrBigMacManify]

This Shao Jun character seems to kinda important... hmm new protagonist maybe... or am i being too optimistic. It would be awesome to have an Asian female assassin as a protagonist

[LadyLatias]

@MrBigMacManify They've certainly said they have played with the idea of doing an AC game in Asia and have also said that they would like AC3 to have a female lead. Be certainly interesting.

[Tuboscus]

@LadyLatias

Playing as a female Assassin? No thanks.

[LadyLatias]

@Tuboscus What's wrong with playing as a female Assassin? We already know the Assassin order wasn't sexist by Ezio's era. =/

[Tuboscus]

@LadyLatias

I mean, I just wouldn't be comfortable with it. Maybe chicks would but a few guys like me wouldn't.

[LadyLatias]

@Tuboscus Oh get over yourselves. It's called experience. As long as she fights and doesn't look like she should be on Next Top Model, I don't see what the problem is.

[soulstealer450]

@MrBigMacManify Hmmm, Shao Jun was the character who met Ezio in the animated short Embers. It is possible that embers would be used to lead on from AC:2's to AC:3 with Shao Jun as a new protagonist, but im not sure if Ubisoft would want a seperate sequel to be in the same era as the previous. Hmmm, although I agree an asian based Assassins Creed would be brilliant.

[Lite619]

@soulstealer450 is Shao Jun an ancestor of Desmond? if not, Shao Jun wouldn't be a protagonist.

[UltimaRedFireEskimo]

I dont know if i should be mad that the new assassin was spoiled and that i now know when ezio will die, or just be excited...dammit

[hadjiadamou]

I wanna know the next game what character is gonna be!!!!!!

[jaanwu95]

I want to know about Subject 16!!!

[Bitom10]

anyone esle thinks that the guy that speaks hard would look like Sam Fisher with the haircut he has in front and w/o glasses?

[envoiret]

thumbs up if you think all assassins should have theire own game.

[TheSphinxNL]

Interesting painting of a Civil War assassin in the final part of the clip..

[SirPiper6]

@TheSphinxNL Where? that sounds real cool

[blondiekid23]

i hope you can also get the encyclopedia outside of america, for instance holland XD

[TheMetalHoplite]

i hope they reveal information about domenico auditore

[CubexMods]

Does anyone know the font they're using in the Encyclopedia?

[megadude1892]

0:58

William Miles=William M.

???

[xx2RAHxx]

@megadude1892 niice i didnt even notice that

[WAATANG]

That guy at 3:07 is either on crack, or the clip is sped up :L

[xangiexdx]

This got a dislike? WTF? I'm sending in my Assassin recruits to hunt them down & show them what "boss" is! 웃 웃 웃 웃 웃 웃 웃 웃 웃

[marvelcapcom3]

Hmmm, I noticed that they blurred out the info about Shao Jun, she might be in the next AC game or Nikolai Orelov via Daniel Cross : )

[MrBigMacManify]

@marvelcapcom3 she's also in the Assassins Creed embers trailer talking to Ezio (it's a short CGO film on Ezios last days). She might just be the new protagonist

[netron100]

Guys stop the video at 0:55 Now look right You see Characters right?Look for the names...You see There William Miles right :P Well we know that William is an Assassin but maybe he is family related to Desmond.

[thepopesmybitch]

quickly order it on its own now and theres a limited time offer of $5 FUCKING DOLLARS OFF IVE ORDERED 50

[crisojog]

if it tells me how the story ends.. i'll buy it

[Alonar777]

OMG! William Miles. OMG! OMG

[jetstyle74]

They censored 16! FUUUU.jpg

[darthsnider]

4:35

American Assassins?

[Damptarmac]

@darthsnider yeah noticed that too :)

[n3obuddha]

@darthsnider American Civil War Assassin, to be more precise.

[TripleM000]

Activision disliked this video

[GamerAnas]

Altair is a syrian ?!

wow o__O !!

i know he is arabic but i didnt know where is he before i read this !!

this encyclopedia is really fine and good for missions

P.S :- im arabic too and im proud

GO ALTAIR 3>

[Lukar115]

Anyone else find it funny that they show the Revelations boxart with the old PS3 sidebar on it?

[prowlerjoca]

nossa q isso o jogo é otimo cara q isso mto bom

[MrSMC787]

AC3 = Shao Jun or Nikoli Orelov

[GamerAnas]

@MrSMC787

maybe .. but who is "Nikoli Orelov ??

i saw "Shao Jun" in the encyclopedia but i didnt saw the one name nikoli !

[Edmino14]

@GamerAnas Nikolai Orelov.

Russian Assassin, part of the sect known as Narodnaya Volya.

He's the great grandfather of Daniel Cross.

[MrSMC787]

@GamerAnas there were two assassins from the comic series i havent read them just heard about them one was Aquilus a Roman assassin from 258AD then theres Nikoli Orelov a Russian assassin from the 1800's during the russian revolution

[BahLamine]

I made a mistake while typing, confusing the events of the first game (1191) and the date of birth of Altaïr (1165). Sorry.

Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (1165 - 1257) 1:37

Ezio Auditore da Firenze (1459 - 1524) 1:39

Wow. A bit sad knowing the times of deaths.

[blackartist321]

@BahLamine Lol, the very fact that you play as them WITHIN A MACHINE IN 2012 lets you know they died.

[lolyoulolJkeil]

@BahLamine So.. was it really the work of the Apple that caused Altair to live until his nineties? He outlived Ezio by almost 30 years. It's actually a lot sadder knowing Ezio died young. And according to the wikia, it said that the Mongols attacked Masyaf and Altair and his remaining assassins tried to fend them off, and failed. So did Altair get killed? I don't want to think so... I was hoping he'd die by old age. So sad. At least Ezio had his family by his side when he passed. T_T

[henxr678]

Is Animus Edition available everywhere in Europe or even more accurately, in Finland?

[yyyyyyexe963]

@henxr678 it's available world wide in ubiworkshop

[Crem2057]

@lolyoulolJkeil T____T

[MilitiaMackMusic]

Hey if anyone gets the Encyclopedia

please upload all its info !!

[tontsa911]

I would LOVE to buy this (White Edition) but I wonder how much the shipping costs to Finland :(

I hope they are working to make the shipping cost less.

[ModernRedneck13]

@tontsa911 Dude you live in Europe get the freaking Animus Edition. Here in Canada we don't have a choice

[TPob53553d]

The time to pause isn't mentioned in the top comment, but if anyone's curious and wants to see for themselves... Altair- 1:37 and Ezio- 1:39

... Boy, Altair lived a long time O_O

[Gschmedade]

At 0:57 you can read "William Miles" under characters...
