Out of the Thief mould, but with a number of intriguing features comes Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed.

Some original gaming content looks to be about to hit our gaming platforms this November.

The sneaker game Assassin’s Creed game play trailer has already notched up 4.7 million downloads and a user score of 9.6 – So anticipation is high.

"Assassin's Creed is going to be a huge launch for Ubisoft this year along with the added prestige of being the start of this exciting new franchise that is bringing something completely new to the market," said Tony Key, vice president of marketing, Ubisoft. "We're confident that Assassin's Creed will exceed expectations as a 'must-have' title this holiday season and will achieve both critical and commercial success."
 
The game is set in 1191 AD, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy
Land apart. Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the
Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players will assume the role of the main character, Altair, and will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and truly experience the art of a master assassin.

In 2006, Assassin's Creed received the Game Critics Award: Best of E3
2006 for "Best Action-Adventure Game" and swept the "Best PS3 Game" category across numerous video game Web sites.*

Assassin’s Creed does indeed look like blowing a fresh, original breeze through gaming.   With a story line that promises more depth than what has been hinted at through teaser trailers to this point.  This is one title that looks like fulfilling E3 promises.
