Assassin’s Creed 2 teaser lacks gameplay, oozes melodrama

Following an unveiling in Game Informer and the launch of an official website, Assassin’s Creed 2 has spawned its first teaser trailer. This is typically a time of great excitement in the build-up to a highly anticipated game; it’s when we usually get a sneak peek — however brief — at gameplay. Not so for AC2. How would you like some fancy da Vinci-esque sketches of random objects and a narrator who’s been paid by the word in cheese?

Here’s what we now know, based on the teaser: It’s the Renaissance (yep, had that), science is big again, but the real truths? They “lie in the shadows … written in blood.” We’re left to wonder if this is some sort of code. Do we need to do something involving shadows (we can handle that) and blood (no way!) in order to see the real teaser? Or, maybe, we simply resign ourselves to the fact we just got handed a heaping plate of letdown.
