Ubisoft’s third quarter earnings report has finally officially confirmed that the sequel to 2007’s best selling assassinate-em-up, Assassin’s Creed, will be available before the end of March 2010. While technically impressive, Assassin’s Creed was a bit lacking in the gameplay department, we felt. A great proof-of-concept, but without enough fresh content to keep from getting stale after a while. Something we’re hoping to see improved in the sequel. Ready for another year of seeing Jade Raymond wherever you turn?
The report also mentions that there will be seven franchise titles being released during the fiscal year starting this April, including Splinter Cell Conviction (which we can assume is still 360 exclusive), Ghost Recon and, as we’ve already mentioned, Assassin’s Creed 2. There will also be three new IPs, including I Am Alive. No other games in these categories were mentioned, so no doubt Ubisoft has a few more surprises up its sleeve.

hmmm put the Altair skin on the Prince of Persia and I could have sworn I was playing Assassin’s Creed 2 and I was praising Ubisoft because of all the improvements they had made. Now you say that wasn’t AC2? guess it was AC1.5 although I thought that was what Splinter Cell: Conviction was going to be. So confused with Ubisoft right now! and don’t get me started on Shaun White and Target!
excellent game!!!!
