Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood stalks retail on November 16

by David Hinkle on Jun 14th 2010 10:43AM

Are you anxious to get back into the Animus and step in the shoes of everyone's favorite paisano assassin, Ezio Auditore da Firenze? Ubisoft has announced Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's release date: November 16. The news was slapped on the end of the game's E3 trailer, which emerged on YouTube earlier today. You can watch it past the break.

Taking place years after the events of Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood tasks players with revitalizing Rome, circa 1503. Oh, and killing lots of dudes. It wouldn't be an Assassin's Creed game otherwise, right?

Okay, I'm down with this, as long as it isn't AC3.

(oh, and Joystiq, I wish that you'd allowed me to keep my brackets. I miss them.)

aaaaaaaand the video's down. Dang, Ubi, you guys must not be very busy these days (or perhaps you're just on the internet instead of rehearsing YOUR PRESS CONFERENCE.)

Why not carry on shooting people from the roof? That's what I'd do, treacherous whore that I am.

Awesome trailer. Co-op assassinations? Yes, please!

@Chrisius I hope so, they would be stupid not to have co-op after showing that trailer.

@Chrisius

It has co-op, that was announced a long time ago. I think he meant co-op assassination animations.

Wow blocked already? Ubisoft is QUICK

But hey it sounds good to me

That was beautiful. So awesome, and those were probably some of the best graphics Ive ever seen. (Ya I know it's not actual gameplay but it's still amazing.

@Shadowbender

The Assassin's Creed 2 Trailer graphics were amazing too, and completely fake.

I don't know why Ubosoft would bother. Assassin's Creed 2 was excellent, and looked excellent, without any dishonesty needed. Just a wild guess, but I bet the devs were insulted that marketing is doing this. It's implying that the graphics suck to use fakes.

That is a sweet, sweet trailer.

I know a thing or two about hair, and that guy has got it going on.

This video contains content from Ubisoft, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.

:/

I call dibs on the guy with the club.

That was awesome....up until the gamestop ad.....

@LordMandos
I guess Ubi realized Gamestop sucks (really, does anyone even want to play as a frakking CLOWN anyway?)

seems they just assassinated the trailer.

great trailer, hopefully the game turns out like AC2 and not AC1.

So, Borgia lives? Am I missing something?

@ThatStuffsLethal
Could fit between AC2 chapters like the DLC, i.e. all the different attempts they made trying to reach him?

Can't remember what Borgia looked like though..

@ThatStuffsLethal It says in Playstation Mag that yes, he's still alive.

But your main antagonist will be some younger, buff dude who's name I can't remember.

@ThatStuffsLethal

I think you missed the end of Assassin's Creed 2. Ezio has one of those 'killing you won't accomplish anything' routines and lets him go.

"Ezio: I thought...I thought I was beyond this. But I'm not. I've waited too long, lost too much... Requiescat in Pace (Rest in Peace), you bastard!

Rodrigo: I don't think so!

(Second "death scene" with Rodrigo)

Rodrigo: You can't!! You can't!! It's MY destiny!! MINE!!! I am the prophet!!

Ezio: You never were.

Rodrigo: Get it over with then...

Ezio: ...No. Killing you won't bring my family back... I'm done. Nulla è reale, tutto è lecito. Requiescat in Pace. (Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Rest in Peace.) "

Can't wait for this. I am a huge AC fan.

15 hrs

Great, guards have rifles now. This will make parkour-ing across Rome more interesting/annoying.

Question though....do I get to try assassinate ANOTHER pope?

Sigh... Couldn't you have waited until after E3 to break the comment system?

Come on, to play with Harley Quinn? Who wouldn't want that!?
Oh, wait.... Sorry.

Arkham 2, fulfill my needs.

Can't wait.

I don't know how to feel about this.

I hope there's a lengthy single player. Not sold on the multi.. =/

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze I doubt this is AC3.. as it should be single player only

Holy shit that looked amazing!!! I can't wait! Too bad I don't have any friends who I enjoy playing Co-Op with :( They always rush through games! Anyways, game looks awesome. And why isn't there a full blown CG movie yet of this franchise?

@Aquaryon

I feel the same way, most of the people I play with in games try to take too many shortcuts, or beat the game in the lest amount of time possible, like they are going to get a gold medal for the fact.

If you have the 360, then I'm up for playing the Multiplayer (if it is co-op story line) with anyone willing to actually want to explore the world that Ubi is going to create. Xbox Live Member name is the same as my name here. Look me up.

Epic, awesome video... ruined by stupid "GET THE DEADLY HARLEQUIN OUTFIT WHEN YOU GIVE GAMESTOP YOUR MONEYS"

@The Albatross Powerz to the player.

@The Albatross Like, really...that killed the excitement I had from that trailer's awesomeness.

That trailer gives me chills. Ezio is such an awesome character, I don't know how they will top him.

Well I wrote a long post about Alexander VI, his possible murder, and the period of tumultuous Roman history that followed it, but this here Futurestiq decided to just nullify the post and make it nonexistent.

That stinks.

I had all sorts of spoiler tags around it, but I'm mad now so I'm not going to do that. Short and sweet: Alexander VI (Borgia) dies in 1503 in mysterious circumstances, with many thinking that he may have been poisoned. No doubt, Ezio will have a role in this in the game. The period after Alexander's death is one of the most tumultuous in Romish history, and I'm betting my Theology degree on it that the story picks up from there.

no desmond = not an assassins creed game.

I like the end... I've never heard of this "GameStop" that takes pre-orders. And they have exclusive content!!

That Gamestop ad is a prime example of a Combo Breaker.

Ubisoft has yet to fail me with their graphically superior art style :)

Actual missions will never run as smoothly as shown.

looks great, for a cut scene

Instant buy, after the hundred other games i want of course..
