The Medici dynasty was the de facto ruler of the Italian Renaissance, leading the way in capacities ranging from finance to religion to politics to philanthropy. Those players looking to run amok in the founder of that dynasty's house--the Palazzo Medici--can now do so, provided they preorder Assassin's Creed 2 for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 at GameStop.

Ubisoft said today that the Palazzo Medici, commissioned by Cosimo de Medici in the mid-15th century, will be a GameStop-exclusive preorder incentive for the anticipated action adventure Assassin's Creed 2. According to Ubisoft, the Medici family palace contains "secret treasure," which protagonist Ezio will be able to ruthlessly plunder. The offer is good for both online and in-store purchases.

Assassin's Creed 2 is expected to arrive for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on November 17. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
