To celebrate the news, Ubisoft has also released a new trailer showing off gameplay of assassinations and offering a glimpse into the story.Set in 16th-century China, the new Jiajang Emperor has purged all he feels could endanger his throne, including the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins. Shao Jun, a young member, managed to flee West to train under Ezio Auditore, and has now returned to restore the Chinese Brotherhood.When we got a chance to try out Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China ahead of launch, we came away impressed by how fluidly all of the core tenants of the series made the move to 2D.As was previously announced , two further Chronicles will follow. The first will be set in India during the 19th-century Sikh Empire, and another in Russia after the Red October revolution. Each chronicle will be priced at $10 USD, and those with the Assassin's Creed Unity Season Pass will be able to download ACC: China at no extra cost.
