There will be over 200 missions, a hundred for the single players one and over hundred side missions. Creative Director Patrice Desilets says: “With 14 to 16 mission types, we can construct bigger mission, cause we can start with an escort mission which may turn in to a chase mission and finally in to an assassination one.” Now this is pretty cool since in the original the mission structure was a bit bland even though the overall game was great. This time the world is open and Ezio can choose whatever mission he wants to take up next.
In the first game the assassin had to first investigate about the target and than after that the location is revealed to Altair. Although much of them was repetitive, developers this time around have increased that number to about fourteen to sixteen. Assassins Creed 1 one had about five to six mission types.
