Assassin's Creed: Revelations announced

Ubisoft reveals the latest Assassin's Creed adventure, calling it, 'the final chapter in the Ezio Trilogy'

The fourth title in the hugely successful Assassin's Creed series is coming out in November. Subtitled 'Revelations', it is apparently the final instalment of the game to feature dashing renaissance assassin, Ezio, who arrived in Assassin's Creed 2 and took on the Borgia clan in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

According to the Ubisoft press release, Revelations will see Ezio travelling to Constantinople, "where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilise the region." It is apparently a journey of 'discovery and revelation'. There's also an oblique reference to the Italian killer following in the footsteps of his ancestor, Altair, the protagonist from the first game. A teaser image posted on the game's Facebook page, also showed a character who resembled Altair, suggesting some kind of inter-chronological plot shenanigans. This is particularly intriguing:

The latest chapter in the Assassin's Creed saga also includes revolutionary gameplay, allowing players to manipulate the construct of Desmond's memories and the Animus to decipher the mysteries of his past and gain insight into the future.

Little else is known at present, although Ubisoft has promised a 'refined and expanded' version of Brotherhood's interesting multiplayer functionality, "with more modes, more maps and more characters that allow players to test their assassin skills against others from around the world."

Revelations will be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. More will, of course, be revealed at E3 in June.
