In early June, Ubisoft revealed a new piece of artwork for the Assassin's Creed universe. Ubisoft later tweeted:
"Oh, and before you ask, this has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed Brotherhood"
Leading many to speculate on what could be next for the series.
We've had five games released so far, with Brotherhood being the sixth installment. A tie-in book for the second game has also been published, along with a prequel movie "Assassin's Creed: Lineage" that sets up the backstory behind the first major event of AC2.
So what else can Ubisoft do to expand the franchise? Well, it's obvious isn't it...a comic series.
The trailer above is the first official release to talk about the comic, clearly focusing on the Tunguska Event (an event which is spoken of frequently within the second game) in Russia.
Whether the comic will focus on the event itself, or just use that as backstory, is unknown for the moment, but I'm sure time will tell.
With all this excitement though, everybody seems to have forgotten about the original image that sparked all of this:
It has pyramids in the background, which leads me to believe that this Russian based mini-series will only be the first of many future series'. If I'm right, we could see the entire history of the Assassin's Creed Universe told through multiple formats...a step that I welcome with open arms.
More details will be revealed at San Diego Comic Con at the "Assassin's Creed: Behind and Beyond the Brotherhood" panel on Thursday, June 22, hosted by G4TV's Morgan Webb.
