Assassin's Creed's Altair learns to swim for future project

by Justin McElroy on Oct 13th 2008 1:00PM

Here's a great object lesson in why PR people get so nervous about letting the talent do interviews: While speaking with AusGamers, Prince of Persia animation director David Wilkinson was heaping praise on Alex Drouin, who worked on animations for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, as well as mega-hit Assassin's Creed. When asked what Drouin is up to now at about 14:28 in, Wilkinson said "He's busy making Altair even more beautiful. Last thing I saw him do was getting Altair to swim."

This off-handed comment seems to suggest (1) New Assassin's Creed game is in the works (shock). (2) It will at least be partially focused on Altair. (3) He will swim, which, considering his bulky cloth duds, could be the most surprising part of all.

RAGEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(Not a fan of the series,RAGE although the figurine was pretty neat,really)

Yep, that's definitely Assassin's Creed 2 right there... Swimming and everything... Perfect sequel

"...considering his bulky cloth duds..."

Don't you mean the pounds and pounds of metal strapped to him?

I beat this game on my brother's Xbox (and his hard drive) so he got the achievements/points. I attempted to play through it again on mine, but just could stomach it.

I'm hoping the sequel will have much better replay value.

The actual game itself was a bit repetitive, but the specifics when it came to fighting was the best. In the beginning, it was hectic, incredibly hard, and frustrating. But this made me keep coming back to it.

As for saving citizens, there were probably several different ways to start each conflict.

You could also choose to stay and fight, or run and hide.

I hope AC2 has the same style, but set somewhere else.

That would be great.
