Ubisoft ran their very own Assassin's Creed panel at ComicCon, unveiling new details on their upcoming animated movie AC: Embers and their highly anticipated game AC: Revelations, as well as answering questions about their successful franchise as a whole. Here's what you missed:- Asked what the core elements are that define the other types of Creed media, for example books and comics, the team said that these expansions posed new ways of exploring the series' science-fiction aspects (i.e. the Assassins shaping events throughout history, and the mythical war between their creed and the Templars.).
- A trailer was shown for Revelations, and although we do not yet have details on what the audience saw, the team assured us that we'll get the trailer released publicly soon, and that it is intrinsic to the game's plot.
- Revelations was revealed to open with a "journey" of sorts- perhaps that's what the E3 demo was leading up to. It was also confirmed that Ezio now has children, a son and a daughter no less!
- The short film Embers takes place in the course of the Revelations storyline, but Ubisoft recommend you watch it after you've played the game as by that point you'll have a better understanding of what's going on.
- Apparently, recruiting Assassins and training them will be a lot more varied in Revelations than it was in Brotherhood.
- The parkour elements and multiplayer modes will be expanded big time in this year's game, too. There are even plans set already for Assassin's Creed III, likely set to hit in 2012.
Keep checking back for all the latest news on the franchise...
