Locations
From Assassin's Creed Wiki
Assassin's Creed is set in the Holy Land during the year 1191.
There are four cities for the player to explore: Acre, Damascus, Jerusalem, and Masyaf. There is also a "kingdom" between the cities which will be available for the player to ride through on horseback. Certain key landmarks have been seen in each of the cities, and will provide a vantage point for the player to further explore the city. Also for some brief plot-related events you get to visit Arsuf and Solomon's Temple.
Assassin's Creed II is set in the Italian Renaissance during the year 1486.
There are two confirmed cities for the player to explore: Venice and Florence. Another major location is the Tuscan countryside, which will be similar to the "kingdom" from the original, but Tuscany should be as teeming with life as the cities.
