Two more episodes have been announced, but it is unclear when they will be released. Assassin’s Creed II is out on November 17th in the United States and November 20th in PAL-regions for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The PC version of the game has been delayed to early 2010.
Any thoughts on this short film? Let us know in the comments below!
Ugh, terrible. Boring, awful acting and fails at being historically interesting. And actually, it looks horrible. Cristal clear horrid distastefulness.
It was an alright watch, nothing amazing, but convincing enough.
This is awesome for people like me who play AC for the storyline, rather than the gameplay.
Nice connecting to the story, other than that the costumes were good.
