In this part, the Russian chapter of the story unfolds against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution and the early Cold War era. Bella Edward Johnson and Ellie Blackman find themselves in a fractured Russia, where the aftermath of the revolution has left the country in chaos. The Templar Order exploits the political instability, infiltrating Soviet ranks and manipulating both sides of the conflict to secure power and control over the country.
As Bella and Ellie fight to free themselves from their past as slaves, they are pulled into the heart of the conflict between the Assassins and Templars. With their mentors Raphael D'Angelo and Trissia de Vries, Bella and Ellie are tasked with destabilizing the Templar influence within the Soviet regime. Their missions take them across the war-torn cities and frozen landscapes of Russia, from clandestine meetings in Moscow to daring sabotage efforts in remote military camps.
The girls must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting alliances, espionage, and betrayal, all while trying to evade the Soviet secret police and Nazi agents hunting for the same artifacts the Templars seek. As Bella and Ellie delve deeper into the Templar conspiracy, they discover that the order is after a powerful Piece of Eden hidden somewhere within Russia—an ancient relic capable of tipping the scales of power during the Cold War.
Their journey through Russia brings them face-to-face with the brutality of war, as they witness mass executions, violent uprisings, and secret battles fought in the shadows. Along the way, Bella and Ellie must confront their past traumas while mastering their Assassin skills in a series of deadly confrontations with high-ranking Templar operatives embedded within Soviet leadership.
As they grow into their roles as Assassins, Bella and Ellie work to thwart the Templars’ plans while gathering intelligence that leads them to the global network of the order. Their actions in Russia set the stage for the larger battle between the Assassins and Templars that spans across the world, with their missions there serving as a pivotal turning point in the war for control of humanity’s future.
