PSA: Assassin's Creed Ascendance available now
We know there are a lot of Assassin's Creed fans out there who have been waiting for the next big release in the series, and we're happy to report that it's finally out this week. We're talking, of course, about the animated short film Assassin's Creed Ascendance, which is now available on PSN, Xbox Live and iTunes for around $2. The film depicts Ezio's battle against the evil, powerful Cesare Borgia. If you want to see what happens next following this movie, Ubisoft also released an Assassin's Creed video game this week, as a cute promotional tie-in for Ascendance.
Assassin's Creed Ascendance is an animated short, coming Nov. 16
After teasing the project yesterday, Ubisoft has fully unveiled the particulars of UbiWorkshop's next project, Assassin's Creed Ascendance. The short animated film will serve as a primer into the shady, conspiratorial dealings of 16th century Rome, and will be released on XBLM and PSN next Tuesday, November 16 -- the launch day of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Check out the full trailer for the short after the jump. Ubisoft promises the film "bridges the narrative gap" between the series' last installment and its fraternal sequel -- however, with a suggested MSRP of $1.99, we're not sure how many people are going to spring to purchase it. Especially not since we can bridge that gap for you, right now, for free: Some people with names you can't pronounce stabbed each other. You're welcome.
Assassin's Creed Ascendance kind of revealed a little bit
The next project from Ubisoft's non-traditional development branch UbiWorkshop has been slightly unveiled: A brief teaser trailer posted after the jump seems to preview a motion comic titled Assassin's Creed Ascendance. At least, we're assuming it's a motion comic -- a post on the UbiWorkshop site confirms that it's not a game, and, as far as we know, images in standard books and graphic novels don't ... um, move. UbiWorkshop promises that more details about Ascendance will drop "really, really soon." We'll let you know once the true identity of the project is announced, though we stand entirely by our assertion that it will not be a book with moving images, because those definitely haven't been invented yet.
