Ubisoft on Assassin's Creed art direction


While we're quite excited about Assassin's Creed, we're worried the game can't possibly live up to the gorgeous concept art and character design (not to mention lofty game design goals) they've been showing off. Take this nearly two-thousand word feature on the CGSociety's website – with dozens of beautiful concept art images – looking at the art direction of the Ubisoft title: The beautiful Crusades-era architecture of cities like Damascus and Jerusalem and the striking assassin Altair are already visual hallmarks of the current generation of games, even if the actual game is still a relative unknown.

[Thanks, Anton]
