France-based Ubisoft has officially announced that they will be making a sequel to this year’s hit stealth-action game Assassin’s Creed for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. For those of you who don’t know, Assassin’s Creed is a game in which the story line is actually set in the not-so-distant future, where there exists a machine, called the Animus, that allows a scientist to see the “memories” of an ex-assassin’s ancestors. These “memories” consist of the actual gameplay, which is set during the Crusades in the year 1191 A.D.
By the end of the fiscal year, Ubisoft expects to sell over 5 million copies of Assassin’s Creed, which is up from their initial estimate of 3 million copies. The game cost between $15 and $20 million to make, and took over 4 years to complete. A sequel is now officially in development by the same Montreal office that created the first Assassin’s Creed.
There is no word yet on an approximate release date, but we will bring it to you as soon as it is announced. In the meantime, go enjoy assassinating a few Templars!

yea, I can’t imagine what it could be. There’s a rumor floating that it will be modern day and will be like Hitman on steroids…
