On February 1 (just over a week away), Ubisoft will officially release Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It will be available for download in the iTunes App store for $9.99. A bit pricey for an app, but considering what is put into this game it’ll be well worth it. Much cheaper than a Nintendo DS game that’s for sure!

Some of you may have noticed that Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery was mistakenly released about a week or so ago. Ubisoft and Apple caught the error and quickly removed the game from the App Store.

The game takes place 15 years after Assassin’s Creed II. It follows that game’s protagonist, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, as he travels to 15th century Spain to free his fellow assassins, who have been imprisoned under the guise of the Spanish Inquisition. In the process, he discovers that The Knights Templar are planning to sail west to discover the New World.
