"Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection" has received multiple leaks and rumors which resulted to Ubisoft finally confirming that highly anticipated game will launch on Nov. 17 in Europe for Xbox One and PS4, and Nov. 15 in North America.
The collection will include new three versions of 2009's "Assassin's Creed II," 2010's "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood" and 2011's "Assassin's Creed Revelations," this version will come with "enhanced graphics."
In addition to better graphics, the bundle comes with all the single-player campaigns and DLC. However, players will not have the hide-and-seek multiplayer modes included in Brotherhood and Revelations.
Additionally, the collection include a three-part named the "Assassin's Creed: Lineage" that gives Ezio's backstory and also an animated movie called "Assassin's Creed: Embers," Game Spot reported.
The Ubisoft description read "Live the life of Ezio, learn the ways of the Assassins, and get vengeance for the betrayal of your family through the 15th-century Renaissance Italy, into Italy's greatest city, Rome, and finally in 16th-century Constantinople."
Ubisoft did not give any details on frame rate, resolution or any other changes included in the remasters. Last month, French gaming site Gameblog revealed that the collection will feature new textures, a 30fps frame rate and 1080p visuals.
The company also revealed that the franchise has hit a new sales milestone, after selling over 100 million copies since its debut in 2007. The franchise joins the ranks of other successful ones such as Grand Theft Auto, Mario, Final Fantasy, Fifa and Pokémon.
In a statement, senior producer Martin Schelling said, "Creating an amazing Assassin's Creed game is not an easy task." He added that it takes the creativity and hard work of many people within the different Ubisoft studios all over the world. "It is a testament to the teams that have taken on the challenge over the years to have this franchise join the ranks of those that have reached more than 100m sales."
Assassin's Creed brand director Etienne Allonier noted that while the achievement is "a huge milestone for the Assassin's Creed franchise", and believes that the "best is yet to come".
Allonier said that having seen what is gone into this year's movie and into future Assassin's Creed games, they think fans, players and newcomers as well will be excited by everything Assassin's Creed has to offer.
In February, the company announced that it would not be unveiling a new Assassin's Creed game in 2016, but will be "stepping back and re-examining the Assassin's Creed franchise" due to the poor reception to Unity in 2014 and the lackluster response to last year's Syndicate.
The Ezio Collecion will cost $59.99 (£45.43) and will include a coupon for up to $8 off a ticket to the upcoming movie adaptation starring Michael Fassbender set to hit theaters Dec. 12.
