The original game sold 8 million copies from November 2007 across both console and PC platforms. It was a sight to behold as Altair went about his business during the time of the third crusade, all with a modern day sci-fi conspiracy story to back up the medieval action. Assassin’s Creed garnered awards such as Best Action Game 2007 from 1UP and Outstanding Achievement in Animation from the AIAS along the way.

In a vast open world environment, the game invites players to incarnate Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who's been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy. Ezio's subsequent quest for vengeance plunges players into a captivating and epic story that offers more variety in missions, surprising and engaging new gameplay elements, diverse weapons and a profound character progression that will appeal to fans of the original Assassin's Creed as well as entice players new to the brand. "Our creative team is working hard to top the experience of Assassin's Creed," said Patrice Desilets, creative director at Ubisoft. "We've made improvements to every aspect of the game. And we've plunged ourselves into the stunning history of the Italian Renaissance so that we can offer fans a unique, varied and innovative Assassin's Creed experience." Assassin’s Creed II is scheduled for a Christmas 2009 launch on all current generation platforms, could this include the Wii? Ubisoft remain tight lipped at this stage, it does however, include a Sony PSP version.  |
