Fans who are still undecided if they will grab "Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection" can look at a comparison video released by Ubisoft, the game developer. The upcoming collection contains graphically enhanced versions of the three previous games in the series.

The collection will focus on the adventures of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a Florentine nobleman during the Renaissance and is the mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins. The three games included are "Assassin's Creed II," "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood," and "Assassin's Creed Revelations.

The first game is where Ezio's open-world adventures start, set during the Italian Renaissance. Players will get to experience the "era of arts, riches, and murderous conspiracy."

The second game paves the way "into Italy's greatest city, Rome, the center of power, greed, and corruption." Ezio will now lead the "entire Brotherhood of Assassins" against the tyrants and oppressors of free will.

Lastly, in the final chapter of the trilogy, players will have the chance to play as Ezio's mentor, Altair. The game is set during the 16th century right at the center of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinople.

Ubisoft also announced that all single-player DLCs for each game, as well as two short animated films titled "Embers" and "Lineage," that will dig really deep into Ezio's history, are available with the collection. Additionally, a movie ticket discount of up to $8 for the "Assassin's Creed" movie is also included in specially marked packages of the game collection. However, the multi-player mode for the games is not included in the set.

Speaking of the "Assassin's Creed" movie, the Michael Fassbender-starring adaptation released a short movie clip about the franchise's mythology. The featurette shows Fassbender and co-star Marion Cotillard providing information to those who are unfamiliar with the game series. The movie will hit U.S. theaters on Dec. 21, while fans in the U.K. will be able to watch it on January 1, 2017.

"Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection" will be released on Nov. 15 in North America and on Nov. 18 in Europe. It will be available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
