Today Pocket Books announced it will novelize Assassin’s Creed this October. The title of the first book will be “Assassin’s Creed Book One: The Invisible Imam” and is due to be published in October of 2007. The publisher plans to print a trilogy of novels based on Ubisoft’s highly-anticipated game.

The first title in the novel series will detail events leading up to the beginning of the game. “The Assassin’s Creed books, which begin by layering elements that prequel the game, will only expand upon this adventure to an eager audience of gamers and thrill seekers,” said Tony Key, VP, marketing at Ubisoft.

“With the anticipation for Assassin’s Creed building every day, it’s tremendously exciting to be in partnership with Ubisoft at the launch of this extraordinary franchise,” said Marco Palmieri, Senior Editor at Pocket Books.
