Leaked footage was spilled onto the web last night, a 70-second animated short created by Ubisoft’s animation team which many are linking with the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Diligently treading through the video you will be able to spot the Animus logo as well as the words “Animus V1.0.” Due to the slightly out-dated props, costume and setting (in contrast with Abstergo laboratories) featured, some are suspecting this to be the groundwork of a legimate prequel to the original Assassin’s Creed, the petrified man strapped to the table being none other than “Subject 1” himself.

Don’t get your hopes up just yet, however. Since the leak, it has been revealed that the audio featured in the animation is stripped directly from a harrowing scene of 1990’s Jacob’s Ladder. This calls into question whether the footage is simply an animation test (also suggested by the “Internal Use Only” message in the bottom left) or a genuine first glimpse at what is to be the next installment in Ubisoft’s power-selling franchise.

I would love a prequel to AC. This looks good.

You heard it here first, he he.
I don’t know… it could be the movie? if they ever wanted to do an animated movie like Advent Children and the Tekken movie. I’m just amazed at the quality of the scene.

“Embers” is an animated short that is being released with some of the Revelations’ special editions, maybe this is part of it?

I like the look of it whatever it is.

This is why hand animated is better than mo-cap. Animation wise, they at least don’t look like zombies.
I like it.
Even though the doctor has an odd skin shader…
