Like in the previous game, Altaïr can synchronize from high vantage points in order to map out the city. With the game centered on the island of Cyprus, the setting was based on two areas: Limassol and Kyrenia. In return, Altaïr will receive coins as a reward, instead of assistance from groups, as in the previous game. The variety of tasks has been expanded, such as delivering letters, and intercepting couriers. Similar to the previous game, side missions are available to players, such as saving civilians from Templar soldiers, and performing specific tasks for allies of the resistance. Three types of coins are present in game: Bronze, Silver and Gold, with Gold holding the highest value.

Taking the place of flags, a new collectible featured in the game are Templar coins, which can be used to upgrade health bars, and the amount of damage a weapon can inflict.

High and low profile assassinations can still be done in the game, in addition to the new ledge assassination. Blending is now only used to safely bypass guards, as Altaïr can no longer blend with scholars as a means to hide. Some features from the previous game, such as the Eagle Vision, the Gentle Push, and horseback riding were removed from the game. Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines contains similar, if not the same, gameplay to Assassin's Creed in terms of control style, although there were modifications to the control scheme.
