In what year was Assassin's Creed II released?

Assassin's Creed II was released in 2009. Ubisoft launched the sequel in November 2009 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, followed by a Windows release in March 2010.

The game replaced Altaïr with Ezio Auditore and moved the historical setting to Renaissance Italy. Its story spans Florence, Monteriggioni, Venice, and the Vatican, while the modern-day plot continues to follow Desmond Miles through the Animus.

Assassin's Creed II is often remembered as the game that established Ezio as the franchise's most prominent recurring historical protagonist. Its release date is sometimes confused with the 2010 release of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, which continues Ezio's story in Rome. The two games are separate entries in the series.
