Touring Through Revelations' New Maps

Multiplayer in Assassin's Creed: Revelations requires finesse and patience. Assassins must utilize every hiding spot, ledge, and crowd on every map. Launching with nine maps, five new ones and four returning from Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations brought the stealthy multiplayer to a new level. At this time, a savvy player could already have mastered these stomping grounds. On January 24th that total tally jumps to fifteen, with new alleyways, hiding spots, and streets to fill with blood.

Assassins Creed: Revelations - Mediterranean Traveler Preview

The Mediterranean Traveler Pack brings three fresh locales to the mix as well as three additional classics from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. So what's on the way when the pack hits?


With cloths decorating drying lines and bright colors everywhere, Dyers immediately sets itself apart as a unique location. Set in the city of Rhodes, Dyers is run down; overgrown plants crawl up the walls, discarded boards litter the streets, and slanted wooden ramps decorate the landscape. Knight's Hospital is also set in Rhodes, but Dyers paints the city in a new light.




Imperial looks the most familiar in regards to the single-player story in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. That's because Imperials is set in a district of Constantinople full of docks, domed-rooftops, and skinny towers into the sky. If you played through the campaign, you've fought in these streets.




Rounding out the fresh new batch is Jerusalem. Between the market streets and the dusty, late afternoon glow, Jerusalem also features Dome of the Rock. The golden sheen from its roof stands out amongst the other buildings and is a striking reminder of the world we're fighting in.




Siena returns from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood with fireworks, circling horses, and moody nighttime lighting. With a central staging area, the outskirts of the map are tight-cornered with colorful tents to sprint through. Lines of sight aren't long, so Assassins looking for a target must be savvy in their chase.


Florence's main market, with its high roof and long jump assassinations, was a memorable locale for online battles. Between the winding streets and plentiful chase breakers, it'll be great to get back to a classic.

Assassins Creed: Revelations - Multiplayer Tips & Tricks

Seeing the rocky towers climbing into the hillside made San Donato one of the most memorable maps in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Slicing an opponent's throat open outside the old, rocky church was something of a growing pain for new players.


You can nab the six additional maps in the Mediterranean Traveler Pack for Assassin's Creed: Revelations on January 24th for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99.
