While Ubisoft is busy teasing players via Facebook, we've got anonymous tipsters sending us images of the placeholder art for something called Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Is this Ezio's next big thing?

Between this alleged placeholder art and a recent website registration for AssassinsCreedBrotherhood.com, we're pretty sure we've nailed down the name for the next game in the Assassin's Creed series. The box art features our friend Ezio, surrounded by a group of unknown asaassins, presumably representing the brotherhood that appears in the title, as well as the blurb on the back cover.

"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.

"A never-before-seen online multiplayer experience.

"Lead your own brotherhood of assassins, as Ezio, and conquer Rome."

The art also features a sticker for a preorder exclusive multiplayer character, available only through GameStop. Who wants to bet its Altair?

The information on the box jibes with what we've heard so far about the next Assassin's Creed game, and the name certainly fits. Looks like it's coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Hopefully that last one will do a better job with DRM than Assassin's Creed II did.

I love ACII. All I'm willing to say at this time.

Ill buy this of course, but I hope they fix the screen tearing problem both versions had problems with.

[izembo]

that looks exactly the same as the coverart we had gotten first time around for AC2 with minor changes to it. dunno if thats legit

[Guitarman]

if it's a full game, i'm down. AC2 was hands down my GOTY.

It is a full stand alone title, and it was officially announced earlier today.

I hope this isn't like the next game in the "series" because although that time period was cool, I was hoping they'd keep advancing in time along with desmond.

[Kaisha]

Sounds like it may be continuing Ezio's actual history back when it occurred, rather than through Desmond's genetic memories. It'd fit the whole multiplayer aspect better rather than just having multiple 'Desmonds' in the whatchamacallit machine.

Do you think the multiplayer detracts from the single player? "No it can't!"


Waiting to see if that's true. Most games i've played that were originally single player, and I liked for single player, screwed up multiplayer and made the single player rather halfassed.

[Dylon]

from watching the E3 video, seems like they continued the story from #2 (which is not a bad thing since i liked that story) and just added a multiplayer aspect of hunting the other assassins after they were done with the single player.

Beta is fun so far.

Doing Wanted mode really keeps you on edge on who's who and what to look out for. Great fun this will have if we do bg groups on Wanted mode.
