The film is included as a bonus in the Signature and Collector's Editions of Assassin's Creed: Revelations. It was later re-released on the PlayStation Store on 23 April 2015. The film was first revealed on July 21, 2011, when UbiWorkshop showed a teaser trailer at Comic-Con 2011. According to the developers, Embers is the final chapter of Ezio's story, and although it can be watched at anytime, it is best to experience it after completing Revelations, in order to fully understand the complete tale of Ezio.
