Assassin's Creed Brotherhood beta detailed

Begins October 4 exclusively on PS3 for those who have pre-ordered.

Ubisoft has announced that the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood multiplayer beta will begin on October 4, exclusively on PS3 to anyone that has pre-ordered the game.

In the beta players will choose from nine different characters such as the doctor, the priest, the executioner or the courtesan, and compete in assassination-based games of up to eight players. Two different modes will be available:

Wanted - challenges players to get the higher score by killing their assigned targets and escaping their hunters in clever ways.

Alliance - allows players to compete cooperatively in teams of two, fulfill contracts and confuse enemies in tandem.

Both modes will be playable on two different maps located in Rome and Castel Gandolfo.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood will be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 19, 2010. The PC version has slipped into Q1 2011.
