Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Of Venice Now Live On Kickstarter
November 14, 2018 by brennon
Triton Noir is now on Kickstarter with Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Of Venice. Take on the role of a band of Assassin's in 1509 Venice in this fully cooperative game for between one to four players.
Set between the events of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations the game has you playing through a campaign which has you dealing with the Templars and trying to unravel the web that they have set across the city.
You will be arming and upgrading your Assassins, giving them equipment and more that they will need to undertake their tasks, rushing through the city without being detected by the guards.
Assassin Pledge
Inside the Core Box, you'll find an array of different Assassin figures as well as plastic miniatures for all of your enemies too.
The game has the real feel of those older games within the Assassin's Creed series which were much more focused towards the idea of actually taking out targets...you know...like Assassins! The newer games in the series appear to have somewhat lost that in favour of simply being expansive exploration games.
You'll have noticed amongst the components above the Memory Envelopes which will contain all of the secret information and objectives that you will have to undertake each time you play. I love this touch, making it feel like you're solving a puzzle as well as playing through an exciting Assassin's Creed adventure.
A full rundown of the game is available to look at in more detail over on their Kickstarter Page.
Stretch Goals
As you might imagine the game has been doing very well on Kickstarter and with that comes plenty of stretch goals.
Mounted soldiers, a rather insane looking tank from Leonardo DaVinci and plenty more cards too which will throw new events at you during your games.
This game seems to really embrace the feel of Assassin's Creed and get the notion of what it is to fight against the Templars as a Brotherhood within this universe.
Will you be checking this out?

Dammit!! I told myself no more kickstarters!! 🙁 oh well. Its only money….
I recommend everyone read the FAQ and pay attention to the estimated delivery date before backing. if you are cool with everything, go ahead and back.
I didn’t like Assassin’s Creed but i do like the slightness of those blades.
They havent playtested it yet?
it’s one of the few to admit they didn’t … 😉
I think I prefer my kickstarters to be a bit closer to ‘finished’ state, because you can almost bet that they’re going to discover stuff that looked great on paper but less so in practice.
They seemed to be demoing the game at Essen though, I saw a few tables with people playing
I’d love to back this but June 2020 is an insane release date. The game won’t even start being manufactured until December 2019 a full 12 months from the Kickstarter End Date. I love Assassins Creed and I’ll be buying the game when it’s released but to put down that much money for a game I won’t have at my doorstep for at least one and a half years (and that’s if everything goes 100% smoothly) is too much for me especially so close to Black Friday/Christmas. Also can someone explain to me why they have a 10 month Pledge… Read more »
They are allowing people to back for $1 and then upgrade in the pledge later when possibly have more money. In addition, there may things that come along that may not even be revealed in the KS that you can get later.
If Claustrophobia 1643 was a pre-order with already printed copies, this is the complete opposite in that they have an idea and very little else and will be taking the next 10 months to figure it out.
considering the amount of work/playtesting they still have to do it may not even be enough.
I also think that too many kickstarters have underestimated their delivery dates, so with any luck they might not miss their deadline by more than a few months as opposed some which have missed theirs by more than a year.
(and the obligatory Star Citizen reference … which is probably late by a decade all things considered)
love the figures.
While the delivery date is certainly off putting, I feel that is counterbalanced by their pledge manager deadline. Pay a $1 now and you won’t have to finalize anything until November of next year. That’s a year of develop updates and gameplay to make a final decision before they go into production. I actually like that I think.
If there is one thing I don’t like at all, however, is their depiction of Leonardo da Vinci. Did they even play the game? He’s the more handsome rogue in them, not his usual depiction of the wise, older artisan.
The Ezio mini looks cool but without any gameplay video’s its not something I think I’d back off the IP alone.
Agree with senjimakoto that the Leonardo Da Vinci sculpt should be a younger version of him to fit in with how he looked in the game.
They do have a gameplay prototype demo:

It’s als linked in the KS.
Gaaargh!! Don’t get paid till next Friday, hurry the hell up! As for the wait, well, I forgot I’d even backed the Song of Ice and Fire kickstarter until a postman rocked up at the door one day with a mahoosive box of plastic crack… No doubt I’ll soon forget about it and be in for a pleasant surprise sometime in 2020 haha
it is good to readaybabg
