Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: Continues from AC2 Save?

Yes, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood directly continues Ezio's story from Assassin's Creed II and carries over significant progression data.

Data Carried Over from AC2

• Level: Your starting level in Brotherhood is based on your AC2 level.
• Equipment & Skills: Weapons, armor, and abilities unlocked in AC2 transfer over.
• Currency: Florins earned in AC2 carry over.
• Unlockables: Certain items, outfits, and features (like the Auditore Cape) are available from the start if earned in AC2.

Playing Assassin's Creed II first is highly recommended for story continuity, character attachment, and a seamless progression experience.
