Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Bonus & Sweepstakes — OnLive Blog Posting

I’ve been waiting for this one.

When I think of the Assassin’s Creed series, I think of extraordinary cinematics, exotic machinery, rich history and the efficient execution of a plan (or person).

What I didn’t think of until now is multiplayer.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, available at OnLive the same day as its nationwide PC release, has multiplayer modes cooler and more unpredictable than any AI could ever be. Become both predator and prey as you track your target while avoiding assassination yourself. Go it alone or in teams of two.

Brotherhood picks up right where Assassin’s Creed II (one of the most popular games on the OnLive service) left off. Become a legendary Master Assassin, build your brotherhood of promising young recruits and infiltrate the enemy in Rome. Experience the new strike-first, strike-fast battle system and get ready for your jaw to drop when your brotherhood answers your call for help.

We know this will instantly be one of the hottest games on the service when it releases on March 22. So why not get the excitement going early? …

Pre-order today and get:

  • · A free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition

Ø Two insane multiplayer characters

Ø Two exclusive single-player maps

Ø One Ezio armor skin

  • · A chance to win a badass OnLive game room setup

Ø 47″ VIZIO 3D HDTV

Ø OnLive Game System with 2 controllers

Here’s the Deluxe Edition breakdown: The two multiplayer characters are the Harlequin (really freaky with a twisted smile) and the Officer. The maps are Trajan Market (indoors) and the Aqueduct (outdoors). The Ezio skin is Helmschmied Drachen Armor (fearsome-looking).

Here’s the sweepstakes breakdown: 2 Grand Prize winners will receive everything above, including a 47″ VIZIO XVT Series Full HD 3D HDTV with Full Array TruLED backlighting and VIZIO Internet Apps. Three Runner-up winners will get an OnLive Game System and 2 free games.
