Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood confirmed by Ubisoft
Ubisoft’s confirmed the next Assassin’s Creed title is indeed called Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.
Key placeholder art for the game was leaked earlier tonight to Kotaku, featuring main character Ezio and a group of fellow assassins. The cover insists you’ll be able to “lead your own brotherhood of assassins, as Ezio, and conquer Rome”.
“Live and breathe as Ezio, now a legendary master assassin, in his struggle against the Templar order. Lead your own brotherhood of Assassins and strike at the heart of the enemy. Rome,” it goes on to say.
“And for the first time, take part in an innovative multiplayer layer allowing you to embody an assassin of your choosing and define their killing style. A never-before-seen online multiplayer experience.”
The art also confirms that the game will be released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, laying to rest chatter that it could be a portable spin-off in the form of Bloodlines for PSP.
The art also mentions there will be an exclusive multiplayer character for anyone who pre-orders the game at GameStop.
Ubisoft says that more information on the game will be coming next week.
“Ubisoft confirms the authenticity of this image and will provide more information next week,” a firm rep told the site.
The subtitle was first leaked after it was discovered last week the company had registered the domain “assassinscreedbrotherhood.com”.
The art also mentions a fall 2010 release period.

I’m still sceptical.
So far it seems like this could have been an expansion pack in the vain of ‘Dragon Age Awakening’.
Discount price or Substantial content please ubisoft!

Also, having another AC game set in Renaissance Italy runs the risk of type casting the franchise.
I like how the franchise, so far, has explored areas in history that have been relatively untouched before in gaming.

As much as i liked ACII, i really do think the gameplay needs changes. Because after awhile ACII DID become repetitive. And to already bring out a new AC game one year after the previous one….i don’t know….

Seems like Q3 and Q4 will be crowded this year.

At least they’re not calling it Assassin’s Creed 3.

Because it’s just a spin-off and not a full, brand new Assassin’s Creed game. I guess they’ve put an expanded DLC team on this one and the core team of AC developers are already working on AC3.
It’s much easier to creatie something with the existing engine/gameplay, hence the assumption that it’s most likely going to feel like 6-8 hours of AC2 DLC with a new setting and storyline.

Looks like Ubisoft are turning Ac in to an annual franchise as well, you would think that after POP and Splinter Cell both suffered because they were turned into annual franchises they would learn thier lesson but no.
