On November 15th, Ubisoft will release the long-awaited Watch Dogs 2. They will also release a remastered edition of Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations along with some special features for current generation consoles. Much like the release of Assassin’s Creed Rogue and Unity in 2014, the so-called Ezio Collection has garnered very little pre-release publicity and remarkably little advertising.

However, unlike Watch Dogs 2, The Ezio Collection is not marketed at newcomers to the series or as an alternative to a mainstream Assassin’s Creed release this year. Rather it is aimed directly at those (like me, admittedly) who have grown up alongside Assassin’s Creed and see this as a nostalgic return to the old days. This is a new sort of target audience which has grown steadily larger in the wake of the move from last to current generation. There will always be some (again, like me) who pine for the old days of gaming and the ‘something’ which newer releases simply lack. Despite its comparative lack of publicity up to now, it would not be surprising to see The Ezio Collection creeping towards the top of the best-seller lists this December.
