Assassin's Creed Revelations for PlayStation 3
Assassin's Creed Revelations for PlayStation 3 is an action adventure in which the older Ezio Auditore travels to Constantinople. He searches for keys that bring him closer to Altaïr's hidden knowledge, while the struggle between Assassins and Templars continues. You move across rooftops, follow people through busy streets and use the crowds to disappear from view. The city offers narrow passages, tall towers and different routes towards a target, letting you choose your approach.
The hookblade helps Ezio jump farther and lets him slide along ziplines. You also use it to get past an opponent. You craft bombs from collected components: smoke can cover your escape and a distraction can draw a guard from his position. A chase therefore involves more than running faster. Your combination of route, tool and timing determines how much attention you attract and how you disappear again.
You recruit Assassins again, send them on assignments and summon their help during the campaign. When your dens come under attack, you place defenders and barricades. Separate memories also let you play as Altaïr. This is the original PS3 game from 2011, not a later remaster or special edition with extras. Ubisoft has ended online multiplayer; this description is based on the single-player adventure.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Assassin's Creed Revelations for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Assassin's Creed Revelations
Assassin's Creed Revelations appeared on PlayStation 3 in 2011 and concluded Ezio's series following Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood. Ubisoft developed it across several studios, with a core team in Montreal. The series had by then adopted an annual release schedule, but this instalment primarily aimed to connect earlier storylines. Ezio's search for Altaïr again placed the first game's hero alongside the protagonist who had taken centre stage since the second instalment.
Constantinople moved the adventure from Italy to the Ottoman Empire. This gave Ezio new allies and political tensions, but the familiar combination of climbing, stealth and combat remained. The hookblade changed how you moved around the city. Crafting bombs and defending dens added different decisions to street fighting. Ubisoft also retained recruiting Assassins, a system Brotherhood had introduced a year earlier.
Revelations also advanced Desmond's modern-day story, while Altaïr's memories filled in earlier events. Online multiplayer expanded at the original release, but it can no longer be promised as a working feature: Ubisoft ended PS3 services on 1 October 2022. The Ezio Collection later bundled updated editions for other consoles. The standard PS3 version remains separate; extra downloadable content or material from a special edition is not automatically included on this disc.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Assassin's Creed for PlayStation 3 introduces Altaïr and the conflict during the Crusades. Revelations returns to that protagonist through playable memories, but its largest playground belongs to Ezio in Constantinople. The first game distinctly builds up assassinations through investigation. Revelations provides more tools, including the hookblade and crafted bombs, and connects two life stories.
Assassin's Creed II for PlayStation 3 lets you follow Ezio as a young man through the Italian Renaissance. Blending with citizens, climbing and hidden blades also form the basis of Revelations. II concentrates on his development and revenge, while Revelations sends an older Ezio in search of answers and weaves Altaïr's memories into his own story.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for PlayStation 3 takes place mainly in Rome and introduces recruiting and summoning Assassins. That system returns in Revelations, letting you train allies again. Brotherhood focuses more on dismantling Borgia power and restoring the city. Revelations changes traversal with the hookblade and adds bomb crafting and den defence.
Assassin's Creed III for PlayStation 3 follows Connor during the American Revolution and alternates cities with a large frontier. The struggle with Templars and the framing story surrounding Desmond connect it to Revelations. III emphasises routes through trees, hunting and naval battles; Revelations centres on Ezio's urban tools and the connection with Altaïr.
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag for PlayStation 3 lets Edward Kenway explore Caribbean ports and islands. On land, you recognise the same emphasis on rooftops and assassinations, but travel, naval combat and upgrading the Jackdaw take up much of the game. Revelations has no comparable free-roaming sea and keeps its search closer to Constantinople and the memories of two Assassins.
