You've heard the rumors; now get the facts. Ezio's final chapter will bring the answers that fans have been waiting four years to uncover.

The June issue of Game Informer is on its way, and Assassin's Creed Revelations will grace the cover. Our exclusive, first look, 12-page cover story reveals extensive details on the franchise's next major installment, due out this November.

You'll learn how each of the franchise's major characters -- Altaïr, Ezio, and Desmond -- play a part in the story, and how you'll control each of the three as playable characters. Uncover a brand new part of the world as Ezio travels abroad for the first time to explore the wonders of Constantinople at the height of the Ottoman Empire. Learn about all the new features that set Revelations apart, from a brand new weapon and tool that changes the way you'll fight and traverse the world, to extensive details on the newly customizable multiplayer game. And what exactly is going on with Desmond after the end of Brotherhood? Of course, we also have a wealth of new screens and art to accompany all the information. We unveil all this and more in our magazine cover story, and we'll have more in-depth information, interviews, and videos about the game's central features here on gameinformer.com throughout the month.

Old survey (related?):

Would you like to see ____ in the sequel to the ASSASSIN"S CREED: BROTHERHOOD?

It's a revelation!

Don't get me wrong, I'll play it, but I wish the series hit different ancestors each time. I understand the continued use of Ezio though, both as a popular character and as a means to not have to reintroduce the main character to the assassin's guild each time.

Really tired of Ezio's old ass but I'll be there.

*sigh*

Hopefully we'll get a real clue towards where Assassin's Creed III and when it will take place.

Sounds great to me. Assassin's Creed has come from behind to become my favorite franchise of the current generation, other than Mass Effect. I'll keep playing these games as long as they make them.

Hopefully they'll find a way to make Altair a bit more interesting, now that they've had some time to experiment with the series.

Towards the end of his life, when his fear of death as at it's strongest and his firm belief that there was no afterlife, he wrote about how he wondered if the apple could save him.

His last diary entry ended cryptically with him implying he was going to go check it out, hopefully we'll finally find out if he discovered anything new about it's powers.
