Ubisoft has announced that Ubisoft Montreal is developing Assassin’s Creed II on all current-generation platforms for a scheduled Holiday 2009 launch.
Assassin’s Creed II 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 will see players engaging in an epic story that offers more variety in missions, surprising new gameplay elements and diverse weapons. Ubisoft also notes that the game will feature a profound character progression that will appeal to fans of the original Assassin’s Creed and those 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. And we’ve plunged ourselves into the stunning history of the Italian Renaissance so that we can offer fans a unique, varied and innovative Assassin’s Creed experience.”
Assassin’s Creed was released in November 2007 and has gone on to sell eight million copies worldwide. Ubisoft has also released the first teaser trailer which you’ll find elsewhere on VideoGamer.com.
