Are the games the same as the books

assassins-creed-series

I don't know if this can be asked here. But I just finished the AC series of games and I really enjoyed the characters especially Ezio. Are the books just copies of the games with more character development(if even) Or do they have more story and little reference to the games?

Best Answer

I haven't read the new books, but the Ezio novels follow the plot of the games pretty much exactly, to the point that some of the dialogue from the games is repeated in the books. Even the fight during the tutorial mission is shown in "Renaissance".

However, there is one major exception - Desmond and Abstergo are never mentioned. The stories are told as if Ezio is the main character, rather than Desmond experiencing Ezio's life through the Animus.
