Assassin's Creed sneaking a third mobile entry onto iOS in 'Recollection'

Ubisoft is adding yet another Assassin's Creed title to its stable of iOS releases. Unveiled last night in San Francisco during an Ubisoft event, Assassin's Creed: Recollection is a melange of art exploration and real-time strategy, employing "key characters and locations" from across the entire AC franchise.

How does it work, exactly? We're just as curious as you are, as the PR only vaguely explains the RTS elements as a stand-in for "political battles" raging throughout the world of Assassin's Creed. We'll undoubtedly learn more soon, though, as Recollection is due to launch "before the end of the calendar year."

Update: We've added a gallery below that teases how the gameplay will work.%Gallery-137719%
