Assassin's Creed Revelations, the fourth in Ubisoft's beloved, narratively dense series, launches in just a few days. Whether you're a long-time fan eager for answers but in need of a refresher or a series newbie wondering what's going on before you jump in, Ubisoft figured everyone could use a quick history lesson.

In this video, Ubisoft provides a two-and-a-half-minute run-down of all of the major events that took place in Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 as well as last year's Brotherhood. There are a few big pieces missing -- such as that crazy twist Desmond goes through at the end of Brotherhood -- but all in all it's a good primer for what to expect next week.

My only hope is that Revelations really digs in and provides some resolution -- or at least significant movement forward -- for some of the mysteries that have been plaguing this series since the start.

    I really needed that, but I still don't understand what happened at the end of Brotherhood.

    Huh. That's kind of cool. I mean, if that's actually Desmond talking, then that means he's still nice and self-aware, which, after the ending of Brotherhood, is more than I expected.

    This is the first trailer to actually get me excited about the game. I'm ready to be Ezio once again.

    Am I the only one who loves Assassins Creed 1 and v2, but hated Brotherhood? That game sucked, in my opinion. This new game though looks awesome! I seriously hope it'll beb etter than Brotherhood

    This was a concise but informative summary of such a complex plot. I can't wait for Revelations and the answers they've been promising. (No doubt those answers will just raise more questions, in true AC style.)

    Ubisoft making sense?!? THE WORLD IS GOING TO END! Just joking. That is what I was getting at with the whole story. Yet will say I somewhat stopped playing AC1 as I just grew bored with the whole side mission quests that you have to do so many to go on with the main story. I mean it is nice touch but really after a while it just grew frustrating. Yet AC2 was the point of where I started to love the story and was okay skipping the first one and wasn't too lost. In fact think got more of the story playing the second game lol. I cannot wait for this game. COME ON BE TUESDAY!!!

    That was a really good refresher. Hits the main points, but make you want to learn more. Revelations hopefully will merge the whole story together.

    Very basic summary but I understand, they don't want to completely spoil the other games for people.
