Assassin's Creed Ezio Trilogy Coming Exclusively To PS3

Ubisoft is combining the past three Assassin's Creed games into a single bundle. The Assassin's Creed Ezio Trilogy, starring Italian assassin Ezio Auditore, will be arriving exclusively on the PS3 this November.

Assassin's Creed 2 begins in the late 15th century, with Ezio as a young and irresponsible noble. When his family is attacked by political rivals, he becomes an Assassin and embarks on a quest for revenge. In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Ezio travels to Rome to stop the Templars from obtaining a powerful relic. In Revelations, he continues his fight against the Templars in Constantinople.

The bundle also includes the downloadable content released for AC2. That game's DLC included two story-driven add-ons called The Battle of Forlì and Bonfire of the Vanities. A Templar Lairs Pack provided three more dungeons with puzzle/platforming challenges.

The Ezio Trilogy will be available for $39.99 on November 13th. It's a bit curious that they'd release this bundle after Assassin's Creed 3 rather than before it. Seems like it would've been a great summer release. Nonetheless, it should be a compelling option for holiday shoppers who missed out on Ezio's adventures.
