Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery finally confirmed for Nintendo DS

assassinscreed26

Whoa. No way. An Assassin’s Creed II spin-off? On the DS? We’re shocked.

Finally, after an especially loud rumor mill and an ESRB outing, Ubisoft’s confirmed Discovery’s DS edition in a press release.

It’s coming out on November 17, and – if you do your sneaking and stabbing on the DSi – will allow you to take pictures and paste them on wanted posters all across the game’s tiny representation of Spain.

As if the random haystacks, magic, and impeccable American accents didn’t have your dibelief totally suspended already, now ancient Spain will be littered with posters of glorious, erect phalluses. Awesome. We can’t wait.

Thanks Joystiq. Er, we think.

Seriously guys, I love the website. But this is the sixth news story I’ve read in a matter of days that is seriously old news:

Noted. We really do try to keep dupes to a minimum, but yeah. I’ll drop Nathan a mail.

This article is a report on the actual confirmation of the game by Ubisoft. When the ESRB outed the game, it was still “unconfirmed.” I should know, considering that I also wrote this article: http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/19/esrb-listing-provides-first-assassins-creed-discovery-details/

I’ve updated the post to clarify things a bit. Sorry about the confusion, folks.

Fair enough if they released a press release,

But it’s been on Play and Amazon’s websites for a while.

I guess this happens at events like TGS.
