Who makes Assassin's Creed II?
Assassin's Creed II is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.
Assassin's Creed II is a historical action-adventure game. It was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, published by Ubisoft and first released in 2009 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The PC version came to Steam on 4 March 2010. It is sold at a one-off price. It ranks #76 in our best games of all time ranking.
How it plays
Assassin's Creed II follows Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble who learns the ways of the assassins after his family is betrayed. The story is set in 15th-century Italy, in cities such as Florence and Venice, and Ezio befriends Leonardo da Vinci along the way.
The world is open-ended, and Ubisoft says missions can be taken on when and how the player wants. Getting around is based on free-running, with swimming and even flying added in this game. Crowds are part of play: Ezio can blend in with them, and working with other characters can bring rewards but also lead to surprising consequences.
In fights Ezio uses new weapons, can disarm enemies and turn their own weapons on them, and can carry out assassinations with two hidden blades. Steam lists it as single-player, and Ubisoft notes that the game's online features have not been supported since 19 November 2018.

On Steam UK Assassin's Creed II costs £8.59 at standard price. Steam lists no DLC for it, so that is the whole cost of the game on PC.
