What is the name of the Assassin's Creed game released in 2009 that follows Ezio in Renaissance Italy?

Assassin's Creed II is the 2009 game that follows Ezio in Renaissance Italy.

Ubisoft Montreal developed the sequel, which launched in November 2009 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before later releases on Windows and other platforms. It moves the series from the Third Crusade to fifteenth-century Italy, with major locations including Florence, Venice, and the Tuscan countryside.

The story begins with Ezio Auditore's family crisis and follows his long campaign against the conspirators responsible. Leonardo da Vinci, Lorenzo de' Medici, and Caterina Sforza are among the historical figures woven into the fictional narrative.

Assassin's Creed II is often confused with Brotherhood because Brotherhood continues Ezio's story and was released soon afterward. Brotherhood is primarily set in Rome, whereas Assassin's Creed II introduces Ezio and establishes his Italian origins. Revelations later concludes Ezio's main trilogy.
