What is the animus database?
We have worked hard to improve the animus in Assassin’s Creed 2. As in the first game, the animus is a machine that lets players explore the genetic memories of his ancestors, but this time, it will have a database, giving extra information about all the key locations, characters and services that the player will encounter during play. For example, when the player approaches a famous church – like Santa Maria Novella in Florence – with a simple button press, its history is revealed.
