Assassin's Creed 2: Discovery Preview
Ubisoft invited us to a preview of Assassin's Creed 2: Discovery last week. In addition, we got a chance to talk with the producer, Ben Mattes about the game and Ubisoft's plans for the iPhone.
Assassin's Creed 2 is a 2.5D adventure game that takes place in the same story as the console version, but in 2 chapters of the story that are missing from that console version. There's about 6 hours of gameplay along the main story line in this game that is definitely more arcade like than the console versions.
Assassin's Creed 2 was accidently released a couple weeks ago. While no one will say exactly what happened, our best guess is that they were testing the infamous App Store approval process and forgot to set the release date out in the future.
Now the official release date is February 1st and the price is expected to be $9.99, but that's not final. Ubisoft aren't stupid, they just like other developers, know how to put their apps on sale to get exposure.
