This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection for Xbox One
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection for Xbox One bundles Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood and Revelations. Together they follow Ezio Auditore from a young nobleman in Florence to an experienced leader in Constantinople. You climb through cities of the Italian Renaissance, fight the Borgias in Rome and later search for Altaïr's legacy. The three campaigns appear as separate games in the menu and form one continuous life story around Ezio, Desmond and the conflict between Assassins and Templars.
Assassin's Creed II lets Ezio buy equipment and restore Monteriggioni. Brotherhood concentrates on Rome and gives him recruits whom he can train and summon. Revelations adds a hookblade and crafted bombs in Constantinople. The tools therefore change per game, while climbing, hiding among citizens, Hidden Blades and targeted assassinations remain the common basis. Progress and settings are kept separately for each game.
The collection contains the campaigns and single-player expansions of all three games, plus the short films Assassin's Creed Lineage and Embers. The original competitive multiplayer features of Brotherhood and Revelations are not included. Everything therefore revolves around Ezio's solo story. Codes or separate promotional inserts are not promised as present. This is an Xbox One collection, not simply three older Xbox 360 discs through backward compatibility.
Region and language
Our Xbox One games are PAL 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.
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection contains three complete offline campaigns for one player on Xbox One. The original multiplayer of Brotherhood and Revelations is not included. Download codes and separate promotional inserts are not guaranteed.
Manual
Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection for Xbox One 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: The Ezio Collection
Ubisoft released Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection in November 2016 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The collection brought together three games from 2009, 2010 and 2011 for a new console generation. Ubisoft Montreal had led the original adventures, while Virtuos worked on this reissue. This made it possible to follow Ezio's complete main story without three separate older editions.
The collection uses updated visuals and includes previously released single-player content. Assassin's Creed II introduces Ezio and the Italian Renaissance; Brotherhood makes him a leader in Rome; Revelations links his final journey to Altaïr. The films Lineage and Embers complement the beginning and end of his life story. Desmond's modern story continues through all three games and preserves their original order.
The multiplayer from Brotherhood and Revelations was not carried over. The Ezio Collection is therefore emphatically a single-player collection. A later Nintendo Switch version received its own portable features, but those do not belong to this Xbox One disc. The product page stays with the 2016 Xbox One edition and the three campaigns, single-player expansions and films that Ubisoft listed for this collection.
Similar games for Xbox One
Black Flag follows Edward Kenway in the Caribbean and makes sailing and naval battles a large part of progression. The Ezio Collection contains three urban adventures around one protagonist. Both feature climbing and Hidden Blades, but Ezio's development spans decades and several cities, without a personal warship as a central base.
Unity uses the power of Xbox One for a dense Paris, larger interiors and personal equipment values. The Ezio Collection preserves the design of three older games and therefore offers more campaigns and cities. Arno moves down more smoothly and had cooperative missions; Ezio's collection remains entirely focused on his solo story.
Syndicate lets you switch between Jacob and Evie in Victorian London, with carriages, a rope launcher and the Rooks. The Ezio Collection follows one Assassin through three stages of life and uses horses or traditional climbing routes. Both show the leadership of recruits, but Brotherhood develops that system more deeply within Ezio's battle for Rome.
Origins tells with Bayek how the Hidden Ones are founded and uses levels, loot and a new combat system in Egypt. The Ezio Collection takes place later and keeps the classic emphasis on urban routes, social stealth and counterattacks. Origins offers one large modern campaign; the collection offers three older campaigns with a clear continuous life story.
Assassin's Creed III Remastered bundles Connor's adventure during the American Revolution with Liberation and single-player expansions. The Ezio Collection follows three main games around Ezio and contains two films. Both preserve an older series for Xbox One, but their heroes, historical periods and environments differ, from Renaissance cities to colonial wilderness.
