This just in direct from Ubisoft – that’s right, I talk to Ubisoft...

The latest developer diary feature for Assassin’s Creed 2, a captivating new epic story of power, revenge, and conspiracy set in fifteenth century Italy, is now available online for your viewing pleasure.

The video takes an in-depth look at assassin-in-the-making Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young noble seeking vengeance for the betrayal of his family, and explains how he differs from the first game’s hero Altaïr Ibn la-Ahad.  

It's well worth a watch, believe us. The associated link can be found after the break.
