Ubisoft has announced Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, a 2.5D side-scrolling “reimagining” due for release on PS4, Xbox One and PC by early 2015.
Developed by Climax Studios, ACC: China takes players to 16th century Beijing, where they’ll play as female assassin Shao Jun, a disciple of Assassin’s Creed II star Ezio Auditore “hell bent on revenge”.
“Take your adventure beyond France to a new standalone story set in 16th century China starring Shao Jun, a fan-favourite from the Assassin’s Creed Embers animated movie,” says Ubisoft. “Trained by Ezio Auditore, Shao Jun has returned to Beijing as the last remaining Assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood. Hell-bent on revenge, she will strike out against those who destroyed her Brotherhood.
“Experience an entirely new setting for the franchise in a beautifully stylized world inspired by traditional brush paintings. Shao Jun’s powerful martial arts skills and new Assassin gear like the Jian Sword and the Foot Blade will allow her to eliminate her targets from the shadows or take on groups in all-out combat. Explore legendary landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City and encounter famous historical figures in this new 2.5D digital download title.”
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China will be available as part of a Season Pass with Assassin’s Creed Unity and – presumably – as a standalone download.
A standalone price has yet to be announced.
