Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy

Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy was a Facebook game which was first made available on 30 September 2010 with the "Italian Wars" memory set.
In it, players were recruits for Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy, who relived the genetic memories of other individuals through a program known as the DDS, or Data Dump Scanner, an Animus software patch that could allow a person to relive the memories of someone who was not their ancestor.
In all, there were three memory sets available: "Italian Wars", "Rome" (released 15 November 2010) and "Holidays" (released 22 December 2010). The fourth memory set, Divine Science ("released" 4 July 2011), was made available outside of the DDS by Erudito, though the DDS interface still mentioned that the pack was "coming soon."
In Assassin's Creed: Revelations, an Abstergo dossier stated that Project Legacy was currently on hold, due to security concerns. On 15 May 2013, Facebook removed the game because it no longer complied with their Terms of Service for Facebook applications, as it had not been updated recently.

==Promotional codes==
‎Entering 7D05C12C under the Special Code section would reward the item "Erudito's Network" to the Lockbox, which was marked with the description "Work for Abstergo, report to us." It could not be bought or sold, and at random intervals, it would cause Erudito to "assist" with either an experience boost, a florin boost, an increased chance for chance items, an increased chance for mnemonics, or an increased item output during crafting.
By entering VGVTC8GX, the Abstergo Insider Badge was granted, with the description "Work those connections." The Insider Badge increased chances of winning in Skirmishes.
==Linking==
After linking Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood with a Uplay account, Assassin recruits could be trained from within Project Legacy, and doing so would also unlock certain events within Project Legacy itself.
Finding and combining the "Auditore Trail" mnemonic set would unlock Brotherhood content, in the form of the Venetian and Medici capes, and buying certain landmarks within both Project Legacy and Brotherhood (such as the Colosseum) would net florins in both games.
===Unlockables in Brotherhood===
Name 	How to obtain
Medici Cape 	Complete the "Auditore Trail" mnemonic set.
Venetian Cape	Complete the "Auditore Trail" mnemonic set.
==Uplay==
As of 8 December 2010, Uplay actions and rewards became available for Project Legacy.
The Uplay connectivity of Project Legacy would presumably allow players to avail more of the Uplay rewards in Brotherhood, as Brotherhood had a greater number of rewards than it had in-game Units to be earned. However, there were an equal amount of points for rewards and actions for Project Legacy; though the points could still have been spent on rewards in Brotherhood instead, if one chose to.
===Actions===

*Conflict – Raised the maximum AP by 1, for each stack of 10 SP spent in Conflict.
*Intrigue – Gave a bonus to the florins produced or gained from memories.
*Shadow – Increased the chance of earning chance items or mnemonic drops.
*Knowledge – Raised the amount of crafting spots by 1, for each stack of 10 SP spent in Knowledge, for a maximum of 10 slots.
===Stats===
The Stats tab showed the history and data for money, crafting, memories, mnemonic sets, social interaction, achievements, player-versus-player, and territories.
===Achievements===
The Achievements tab listed certain criteria that had been met within the game, such as reaching a certain level, purchasing property, or completing a certain mission.
==Update==
In June 2011, Ubisoft stated that the Divine Science memory set and the DDS 2.0 would be released in the forthcoming weeks. It was suspected that this would be released alongside Assassin's Creed: Revelations, as the Rome set was alongside Brotherhood. The improvements of the new system were intended to be:
*No longer needing to click through 500+ SP when reassigning.
*Crafting to allow for multiple concurrent crafts of the same item.
*Achievements should unlock instantly.
*"Collect All" to collect income from all territories, across all packs.
*Functional navigation across packs.
*Inclusion of a Mastery level system.
In the Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, it stated that "Due to security concerns, Project Legacy has been put on hold." The reason behind these security concerns was the mysterious disappearance of Anson Peake, the Manager of Project Legacy.
==Trivia==
*In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, a still image from Project Legacy, set to the memory sequence for Mario Auditore, could be seen on Lucy Stillman's computer in the Sanctuary.
*Almost all of the counterparts for the Animi Avatars from Brotherhood featured in Project Legacy memories, with several during Fiora Cavazza's memories and one from Francesco Vecellio's.
