Ubisoft released the first storyline trailer for Assassin’s Creed 2. Visually, it isn’t too different from the opening to the teaser website, which showed us bits of the game in augmented reality (all the symbols are here). You will hear more about the 15th century setting, where you play within the memories of the lead character Ezio (not revealed in this trailer). Gameplay isn’t shown just yet.

UPDATE: More from Ubisoft press release on Assassin’s Creed II:
“Assassin’s Creed II is the product of over two years of intensive development by the original creative team behind the Assassin’s Creed brand. In a vast open world environment, the game invites players to incarnate Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who’s been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy. Ezio’s subsequent quest for vengeance plunges players into a captivating and epic story that offers more variety in missions, surprising and engaging new gameplay elements, diverse weapons and a profound character progression that will appeal to fans of the original Assassin’s Creed as well as entice players new to the brand.”
