Post news Report RSS Assassin's Creed 2 Overhaul v.2.0 RELEASED !

Assassin's Creed 2 Overhaul version 2 is finally released. There are many great improvements in this one but there is still a lot to be done. I hope you enjoy this new version along with all the changes I made. For almost a year I've been teasing you with a lot of screenshots but no new version was released. I will explain that in this article.

After a year of no new releases and not much information from me, I finally released a downloadable version of the mod. As many of you have noticed, I deleted the alpha version that was available in 2016. Since then, I have taken slightly different approach with the mod. I've noticed many mistakes in the alpha version. The worst one was not focusing on the lore very much. I changed a lot of textures into something I thought would be better looking and more realistic but I noticed that it does not fit the game atmosphere at all. I added a lot of ugly huge bricks to the city walls and ugly looking floor. It was bad, I admit it. There is even an entire article on reddit where people judge my mod. The reception was bad. So I examined all the textures again and corrected all the flaws I could, remaking the textures from the previously released version again. That's why I removed the downloadable alpha version, so people would no longer see it and this is the reason that it took such a long time to release the next version. In version 2.0 I am confident that it is better and more playable, more enjoyable. I hope you will share my optimism. Here are some screenshots (right click on them and then click show picture to see the original size):

I already have an entire plan in my head how I want to release the versions here is the list of the future releases:

Version 3: The whole update will focus on draw distance. I will try to make good looking distant textures. I would call it a beta version.

Version 4: It will focus on remaking the interiors like crypts, caves etc. Also foliage and environment will be improved.

Version 5: I would call it a finishing touch to the entire mod. I will correct the mistakes and things I think should look better, also I may add small details like improving water or other particles even further. I would call it a complete version.

Version 6: Not sure if it ever needs releasing. If so I will work on it too.

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy the latest version as much as I enjoyed working on it. Thank you guys for any support you have given me. Have fun !
