TITLE : Assassin's Creed II gameplay shows off simultaneous assassinations

The gameplay demo finished with Ezio escaping in the canals

There are few things in life better than the brand-new trailer for Assassin's Creed II, but one of them is actual gameplay footage from Assassin's Creed II. And now, thanks to the Sony E3 press conference, Ubisoft has released said footage.

So sit back, relax, and watch as our Ezio soars through Venice on a flying machine made by none other than Leonardo daVinci; assassinates two targets at once with the use of his twin blades; and makes use of a smoke bomb to get out of a tight jam when surrounded by oncoming guards. Once you're done, don't forget to check out the rest of our E3 coverage!
