Ubisoft has released a very nice looking set of Assassin’s Creed 2 screenshots. They also show various new skills and equipment from the game, in particular the glider (4th picture). The double stab looks like fun too (2nd picture) and effective. Hehe.

There is an Assassin’s Creed 2 video if you want to see the game in action and you can read my review of the first Assassin’s Creed game.

Assassin’s Creed 2 is due for release on the 20th Nov 2009 in the UK for Xbox 360 and PS3.

Here is some very, very, very tasty looking gameplay footage from Assassin’s Creed 2. I really liked the first Assassin’s Creed game, despite its repetitiveness. On the basis of this gameplay footage the sequel is looking fantastic. Coupled with the facts that your character can now swim, greater variety of missions and the eavesdropping missions are no more, I’m seriously looking forward to playing this.
