What is Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines?

After the events of the original Assassin’s Creed, Altaïr Ibn‑La’Ahad learns that surviving Templars are fleeing to Cyprus. He infiltrates their stronghold in Acre, captures the vengeful Maria Thorpe, and sets sail for the island to stop their plans. On Cyprus, Altair allies with a local resistance, battles the Templar Grand Master Armand Bouchart and his lieutenants, and uncovers a hidden archive of Templar knowledge. The story blends political intrigue, personal rivalry, and a growing bond between Altair and Maria as they escape the collapsing archive and set course for new horizons.
