Secret Assassin's Creed Projects in the Works?

Secret Assassin's Creed Projects in the Works?

Assassin's Creed is branching out of games and exploring the world of comics, as well as another super-secret project.

Chances are good that Eisner award nominee comic book writer/artist Cameron Stewart and artist Karl Kerschl are working on an Assassin's Creed comic book. A "slip" on Twitter [http://twitter.com/cameronMstewart/status/15268675826] revealed the @UbiWorkshop [http://twitter.com/ubiworkshop] feed and a secret project the pair were working on. Then, later on in a post on his blog, Stewart said that he was working on "an upcoming new comic series based on an immensely popular property".

Even more interestingly, nearly a full day later, the @UbiWorkshop account threw out a link to a site [http://www.ubiworkshop.com/] with the artwork you see to your right, which was done by the artist Gabz [http://www.iamgabz.com/]. This piece, is not to do with the Cameron/Kerschl project, and is something totally different.

So we have two projects, both with artists attached and a brand new Twitter feed to follow. Nothing has been confirmed yet, and it's possible that Cameron and Kerschl are working on a Ubisoft property other than Assassin's Creed, but the only way to know for sure is to keep watching the tweets.

Well, a Comic book is fine I guess since a game wouldn't work. You can't free run in Deserts.

Calumon: What is that vulture going to do to that man?

EDIT:

Calumon: Okay... what's that Eagle going to do to that man?

Surely in deserts, you can run as free as you want =)

And Calumon, I think that's a eagle... A CRAZY EAGLE!

 

[jpakaferrari]

That's a bald eagle.

Umm don't know about Deserts, but Cairo was(is) a beautiful city, which would very much fit into the free roaming game.

A game set in egypt would be sick.

But I wanted to scale the Pyramids D:

OT: Sounds interesting. Looks like it could be in Egypt, and I've always found deserts interesting for some reason.

Hopefully the material doesn't dry up!

I'll leave now...

Well it could work since in Egypt you need to have a hoodie to cover yourself from the sun.

An Egyptian Assassin's Creed?

Weren't people wanting a cool futuristic game after the first one, and instead they just got another throwback to the past?

 

[Cousin_IT]

if theres a comic, i'm guessing a pretty crap anime would be in the works too.

 

[manythings]

Further into the past and closer to eden. Isn't Enoch (the land Caine lived) supposed to be near egypt?

 

[Pandalisk]

Oh its a Comic, Ah, well..Okay then..

The art looks awesome, i should get this.

 

[Brad Shepard]

I hope this doesent happen...

 

[ZeoAssassin]

i don't know, i get a more modern-Egypt vibe from that artwork. not ancient Eygpt. But it would make a TON of sense for the next AC to take place there considering what happens in the end of AC2

[spoiler/] the whole "those who came before" probably helped build the pyramids and are one of the other "temples made by those who turned away from war" or something like that. [/spoiler]

 

[Tharwen]

That looks more Prince of Persia-y to me. Still, when has Assassin's Creed not had pseudo-secrecy?

 

[Distorted Stu]

Anyone think that sun looks a bit too.. Japanese?

I suspect a multisetting game.

 

[Jared]

Will be intresting to see what will come of this. I certainly wouldnt be against a comic, thats for sure

 

[ilion]

Maybe a game about those ancient assassins in AC2?

 

[The Random One]

Immensely popular? I wouldn't call AC that. Quite popular, maybe. Rather popular. Immensely? That's Mario popular.

...they'll be doing a Rayman comic! Oh man!

 

[The Last Nomad]

Maybe a game about those ancient assassins in AC2?

I Imagine they will elaborate on those, in the form of spin-off games or comics or webisodes or somthing. I can't recal but wasn't the Egyptian assassin in the tomb a female? I would say with the main series they will keep heading forward through time.

OT: Nice artwork. I don't really mind what it means. I'm sure a new game will be good no matter where it is set. A comic might be cool too. It'll brob be a comic though, I doubt they would have artwork like that for a game. last time they had a CGI Ezio first if I recall correctly
