Ubisoft has announced their Montreal studio is hard at work on Assassin’s Creed 2 for “all current generation platforms (PS3 and Xbox 360 at minimum.) This mark’s the first official confirmation from the publisher that the sequel is on the way.
Ubisoft Montreal would have put in more than two years of development by the time Assassin’s Creed 2 is released this upcoming holiday season.
The official game summary reads as follows: ” 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.”
Check out a sneak peek high-res shot of Ezio below. Additional Assassin’s Creed 2 details will be revealed in the May issue of Game Informer.
