Humble Beginnings
From the days of the Third Crusade to the smoggy 19th century London air, a lot has changed. Altair’s arsenal was simple. He relied mostly on his hidden blade and exceptional athleticism to deliver justice to his Templar foes. Jacob and Evie’s gear, on the other hand, has you rope darting from rooftop to rooftop and gunning foes down in grimy alleyways. And while there is an undeniable satisfaction in firing off a few rounds from a revolver and watching thugs drop like sandbags the thrill of striking from the shadows quickly and quietly is ever the more gratifying.
A jump back in time this far would leave all that behind and, if set far back enough, would make even Altair’s gear seem hyper advanced by an Ancient Egyptian Assassin’s standards. We can expect to the see the staple hidden blade, perhaps in its earliest of manifestations, along with some other basics. Most likely a short bow or slingshot for ranged engagements. But we can be certain these few tools won’t be all that’s on offer. What other contraptions will the developers cook up?
