Almost two years in the making, Ubisoft just announced that they are officially looking to get Assassin's Creed II out to the masses before the end of the year. In fact it looks like they want people going around shoving knives into peoples necks for this holiday season. Peace on Earth FTW!
In all seriousness though.
This time around you will be playing though as a more reputable higher classed noble who is out to put a hurting on all those people who did him wrong by killing his family. Those people, a rival family from Italy. And Ezio is going all Punisher Warzone on them, well with less bullets and more sneakiness.
Look for more in the near future.
UBISOFT® UNVEILS ASSASSIN'S CREED® II
Paris, FRANCE – April 16, 2009 – Today Ubisoft announced that Ubisoft Montréal is developing Assassin's Creed II on all current-generation platforms for a scheduled Holiday 2009 launch. The initial installment of Assassin's Creed® was released in November 2007 to popular and critical success, selling 8 million copies worldwide, and garnering awards such as Best Action Game 2007 from 1UP and Outstanding Achievement in Animation from the AIAS.
Assassin's Creed II is the product of over two years of intensive development by the original creative team behind the Assassin's Creed brand. In a vast open world environment, the game invites players to incarnate Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who's been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy. Ezio's subsequent quest for vengeance plunges players into a captivating and epic story that offers more variety in missions, surprising and engaging new gameplay elements, diverse weapons and a profound character progression that will appeal to fans of the original Assassin's Creed as well as entice players new to the brand.
"Our creative team is working hard to top the experience of Assassin's Creed," said Patrice Desilets, creative director at Ubisoft. "We've made improvements to every aspect of the game.
