An image of the main character in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed sequel has surfaced online. Named Ezio, the character will appear in 15th Century Venice, where the game is set.

The character appears to be similar to Altair, the protaganist of the original game. Assassin’s Creed 2 will take the players to a different time in Italy. Ezio is said to have gliding wings available, designed by none other than Leonardo Da Vinci himself. He also carries hidden blades on both arms, and will have a wider variety of weapons available.
The game also promises to offer up more variety in gameplay, as the first Assassin’s Creed was a bit repetetive. Ezio will also be able to accomplish one simple task that Altair apparently couldn’t do: swimming.
