Following last week’s leak of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Ubisoft have today released further information.
It’s due out later in the year and will be available for Xbox 360 and PS3. It’s being developed by Ubisoft Montreal again but Ubisoft studios in Singapore, Bucharest, Québec City and Annecy (known for developing Splinter Cell Chaos Theory’s Multiplayer) are also lending a hand.
The game will see the return of Ezio and will also feature a “never-before-seen multiplayer layer”, but we already knew that. Here’s what Ubisoft had to say:
The critically acclaimed single player experience of Assassin’s Creed is back and better than ever as Ezio returns in a powerful struggle against the powerful Templar Order. Now a legendary Master Assassin, he must journey to Rome, center of power, greed and corruption to strike at the heart of the enemy. Defeating the corrupt tyrants entrenched there will require not only strength, but leadership, as Ezio commands an entire Brotherhood that will rally to his side. Only by working together can the Assassins defeat their mortal enemies.
And for the first time, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood offers a never-before-seen multiplayer layer. Players can help the Templars by using Abstergo to train in the art of Assassination to eliminate the Assassins once and for all. Players can choose from a wide range of unique characters, each with their own signature weapons and assassination techniques, and match their skills against other players from all over the world in different game modes.
PSM3 and the Official Xbox Magazine are due to have the exclusive first look when they release on June 3rd and June 10th respectively.
You can also check out the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood website for more goodies. If you keep your eyes open and watch the movies, you should have no problem with the symbol-based puzzle.
