Ubisoft Announces Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Kotaku recently has been sent an image of the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood placeholder box art. Presumably by a rogue GameStop employee. Ubisoft confirmed the image and officially revealed the next title in the Assassin's Creed series, starring Ezio Auditore de Firenze.
They also confirmed the plethora of a handful of details contained on the back of the temporary box art. The blurb reads, "Live and breathe as Ezio, now a legendary master assassin, in his struggle against the Templar order. Lead your own brotherhood of Assassins and strike at the heart of the enemy: Rome. And for the first time, take part in an innovative multiplayer layer allowing you to embody an assassin of your choosing and define their killing style."
As guessed, this is the Assassin's Creed spinoff that Ubisoft announced they had in development a few months back - The same spinoff spotted in a newly registered domain name recently at AssassinsCreedBrotherhood.com. Also rumored before and confirmed now is the newly Assassin's Creed multiplayer. The screenshot on the back of the box states: "A never-before-seen online multiplayer experience" and the ability to "Lead your own brotherhood of assassins, as Ezio, and conquer Rome." As you can see on the right side, a pre-order sticker advertises the pre-order bonus of an "exclusive multiplayer character." Kotaku thinks it could be Altair, but we will just have to wait and find out.
What does everyone think? Are we excited for this new little twist in the Assassin's Creed gameplay, or are you sick of Altair and waiting for the 3rd real entry in the series?
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Q1 2011
