10 Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time

4. Assassin's Creed Revelations

This entire list could be made up of Assassin's Creed trailers, as every instalment of the franchise has delivered a stunning cinematic trailer that gets audiences excited; even when faith in the franchise was at its lowest. Although there have been plenty of memorable ads, the one created for the end of Ezio's story takes the crown as the best.

Assassin's Creed Revelations' lengthy cinematic trailer paints a perfect picture of how far Ezio had come. It was his third game at this point, so the trilogy had to come to an end, and this awesome visual feast proved that his finale was going in a much darker tone - visually and narratively.

It was tough to see Ezio go through so much toil, but the gripping soundtrack ("Iron" by Woodkid) and metaphysical appearances of Altair kept you on the edge of your seat. The trailer had you eating out of the palm of its hand, as, towards the end, when all hope seemed lost, Ezio made his move.

Besides being a visual and musical treat, the trailer was even part of the game canon, which no other AC trailer had done, making this one stand out even more.
