Japan is finally getting Assassin’s Creed II – don’t you feel sorry for them. The Assassin’s Creed II box art for the Japanese version (PS3) of the game was revealed yesterday. The game will most likely come with the two DLC’s that were released, The Battle of Forlì and Bonfire of the Vanities.
Hope Japanese gamers enjoy AC as much as North Americans and Europeans.
Brotherhood’s multiplayer mode is one of the most anticipated gameplaye features of any game in recent years. We’ve been clamoring for multiplayer for years and finally we get it with Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood.
GameZone’s Brian Rowe got some hands-on impressions at E3. “The tension is unlike that of any other multiplayer, and requires a severe rerouting of the tactics developed by first-person shooters. Players are more than welcome to zip around like a beacon to everyone nearby. Honestly, speed often yields more kills, but stealth yields substantially more points for the final scoreboard, and experience for ranks. Players will have a few additional tools and abilities to aid their missions. I was only able to glimpse four – smoke bomb, speed boost, morph, and disguise. Higher ranks will offer more toys for your toolkit as well as innate Perks, which have yet to be fully disclosed.”
Ubisoft has been quick to reveal many of the multiplayer mode characters you can player with. They are still secretive though, so we may see a few more characters leaked.
Let’s take a poll to see which character is your favorite:

I went looking for some new Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Fan Art, but most of it is still featuring AC2. It’s all good though, because some of this artwork is amazing. All the pics below are from DeviantArt.

With Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood due out in November, do you think we’ve seen the last of DLC for Assassin’s Creed 2? Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers saw two DLCs during the life of AC2: The Battle of Forli and The Bonfire Of The Vanities. Each were pretty basic, adding about an hour onto the gameplay.
I would like to see Ubisoft release at least one more DLC … we have just over 4 months to go until Brotherhood comes out. Maybe release a DLC that helps tie the two games together?
What do you think?
Gaming blog MMOMFG did a great ‘hands on’ write up of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. They were on site at E3 last week and had experience with single player and multiplayer mode. You can read the entire article here. I’ll post a few excerpts for those of you too lazy to click through.
The focus of Brotherhood will feature Ezio going up against an even stronger Templar power, however, this time, he won’t be alone. Requiring the assistance of the Brotherhood, a powerful group of assassins, Ezio can recruit and place these skilled killers throughout the city to help with his efforts, or call upon them during more difficult missions.

I’ve heard a lot of talk from people in and around the Ubisoft exhibit that they were concerned the multiplayer would be an afterthought and basically be a quick co-op mode. Well at-show, Ubisoft delivered 8-player competitions with their exciting new multiplayer mode where you try to be the top assassin. This mode basically pitted 8 players trying to track down the player target they were given and kill him or her, without inciting too much attention.
Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood is scheduled for a November 16, 2010 release. Pre-order your copy at Gamestop the get a special prize and access to multiplayer character, Harlequin.
We’ve been waiting a long time for more details on Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood‘s multiplayer mode. It’s no surprise that Ubisoft released another trailer during E3, this time showing what appears to be multiplayer mode. Though it is still a CGI trailer, you get a pretty clear idea of how it will play out.
Watch, then discuss.
In this trailer we see several different Assassin characters roaming a city, including the new character Harlequin. It appears that the multiplayer mode will be some sort of last man standing, with your job being to kill all the other Assassins… without getting caught, of course.
Hopefully more details come out as we move through E3, but so far I’m pretty excited about what we’ve seen!
All I can say is “WOW!” If watching this trailer doesn’t put chills down your spine and make you immediately preorder this game then something is wrong with you. Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood may very well be one of the best selling games of all time. The trailer also reveals the November 16th, 2010 launch date. Watch!
I told you so!
As I mentioned eariler, you can preorder Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood at Gamestop and get a special Assassin’s Creed prize along with the code to unlock a special multiplayer character Harlequin.
If you’re reading this blog then I know you’re going to buy Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood – so you may as well preorder the game from GameStop. Why? Because for a limited time only they are giving away a special gift for all pre-orders.
Beginning today, customers who participate in the pre-order promotion will receive an exclusive Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood poster signed by the development team. This limited edition, premium poster is in addition to the previously announced exclusive multiplayer character, the Harlequin, a merciless, walking nightmare that players can only compete with if they pre-order at GameStop. The Harlequin is available to customers who pre-order online or in-store while supplies last.
The game is going to come out during the holiday season (my guess) so you know there will be a mad rush to buy it. Better pre-order now to be safe.
The entire internet (at least us gamers) is up in storm over a recent illustration that was released. Is Ubisoft moving the Assassin’s Creed franchise to ancient Egypt? I don’t think so – and a tweet by Ubisoft says it’s not related. But you have to admit… it might be kind of cool doing a leap of faith off Giza.
“Oh, and before you ask, this has nothing to do with Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood,” UbiWorkshop said on its twitter account.
Here’s the picture that everyone is talking about.
