It's official now, officially. Ubisoft has announced Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, looking to best their previous Ezio Trilogy of yesteryear.

A bundling of all Assassin's Creed titles featuring Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the most popular character in the franchise, has infact been done before on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Now Ubisoft want that same hidden blade magic for Xbox One and PS4.

This month the franchise nailed the 100 million copies sold milestone for the entire history of the series. It's also got a major motion picture starring Michael Fassbender on the way.

“Creating an Assassin’s Creed game is no easy task. It takes the creativity and hard work of many people in many different Ubisoft studios all over the world,” says Ubisoft's Martin Schelling. “To have this franchise join the ranks of those that have reached more than 100m sold is a testament to the teams that have taken on that challenge over the years.”

"This is a huge milestone for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, but we believe the best is yet to come,” Etienne Allonier, brand director for Assassin’s Creed adds. “Having seen what’s gone into this year’s movie and into future Assassin’s Creed games, we think fans and newcomers alike will be excited by everything Assassin’s Creed has to offer."

What's included in The Ezio Collection?

Assassin's Creed II, where we are first introduced to Ezio (right at his birth actually) and then the follow-ups Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Ezio's final instalment Assassin's Creed Revelations. Ubisoft also promise "enhanced graphics," likely coming close if not matching the PC versions. 

It will also include Assassin’s Creed Embers and the three-part Assassin’s Creed Lineage short films filling in more of Ezio's role in the series.

Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection releases on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 November 15th in the US, and November 17th in Europe.
