Which Assassin’s Creed game is set primarily in Constantinople during the early 16th century?
Answer
Assassin’s Creed Revelations
Answer
Assassin’s Creed Revelations
Assassin’s Creed Revelations is set primarily in Constantinople during the early 16th century.
Released in 2011, Revelations follows Ezio Auditore as he travels to Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, while searching for Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad’s hidden knowledge. The game’s districts include Constantine, Bayezid, Imperial, and Galata, reflecting the city’s political and commercial importance.
The story also returns to Masyaf and includes playable sections featuring Altaïr. This makes Revelations a direct narrative bridge between Ezio’s trilogy and the original Assassin’s Creed. Ottoman characters such as Suleiman and Yusuf Tazim are central to the Constantinople chapters.
Constantinople is the historical name used in the game and was known as Istanbul in later periods. The setting is therefore not Victorian or medieval western Europe, two locations sometimes incorrectly associated with this title.
