Which city is Assassin’s Creed Revelations chiefly set in?

The story behind the answer

Assassin’s Creed Revelations is chiefly set in Constantinople.

Released in 2011, Revelations follows Ezio Auditore as he travels to Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. The city is divided into districts that reflect its diverse communities and political tensions. Ezio searches for keys connected to Altaïr’s legacy while becoming involved with the local Assassin Brotherhood.

The game also contains substantial sections featuring Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. These sequences show later moments in Altaïr’s life and connect the first game’s protagonist with Ezio’s concluding adventure. Desmond Miles’ modern-day storyline continues as well.

Constantinople was the city’s historical name during the game’s early sixteenth-century setting. It was renamed Istanbul in official usage during the twentieth century, although “Istanbul” had long been used in ordinary speech. Athens and Alexandria are important ancient-world locations in other Assassin’s Creed titles.
