It'll be up to us to confirm if that connection is genuine, or if there's more to it than first appearances. https://youtu.be/I7QGCORVM3Y Streamed at https://www.twitch.tv/newdarkcloud In between the last recording and...

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations – Part 2-2
Now that we have one Masayf Key, it's time for us to unravel its secrets. https://youtu.be/1viZjV7rWYQ I can confirm that Altair did switch actors between the first game and Revelations, which makes sense because even in Bloodlines he was given a more appropriate voice for a man...

Alright, we just about have our bearings in the great city of Constantinople. Now our hunt for the Masayf Keys begins in earnest. https://youtu.be/sLu8cQqchGc I feel for the development team of Revelations (and also Brotherhood). It is a difficult ask to come up with new tools and...
