A New Creed

Dr Game,
I just finished Assassin's Creed and was wondering if you know when the sequel is coming?
Jo, via email
Ubisoft just announced that Assassin's Creed is on its way - it's expected to hit shelves some time before March next year.
As for what will be in the game - no one knows except the team at Ubisoft. There has been a lot of speculation.
The most obvious is that the game will have an Asian theme and this is based on the visions you have at the end of the game. I'm guessing it will be China - but I'm not expecting it to be a ninja-style game but similar to the first Assassin's Creed where you'll blend in with the crowd.
I would also assume that Ubisoft will offer more of a variety of tasks as opposed to the first game because that was one of the main criticisms. It did get a little repetitive with the whole pick-pocketing and eavesdropping.
I also wouldn't expect a conclusion to the story as Ubisoft has mentioned before that a trilogy is planned. So expect to be left hanging when the credits rolls.
I would expect the promotion train to start rolling this year but in the mean time check out Hitman Blood Money, Ninja Gaiden 2, Prince of Persia and even Splinter Cell Double Agent as these games should satisfy your need for stealth and assassinations until you can get your hands on Assassin's Creed 2.
