We're just one week away from Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which promises to be the most revelatory entry in the game's relatively short history. Today, Ubisoft has released what is likely one of the last trailers for the game, this time showing off the new location: Constantinople...

Ubisoft is barely a week away from releasing Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and already the studio has heralded the arrival of another sequel within the next year. Speaking to future projects during his 2012 first-half earnings call with company stakeholders, Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed the franchise would stick to its annual schedule with the development of a “full-fledged” Assassin's Creed entry in 2012, because it's always good to admit that your upcoming title isn't actually a full game...

Ezio has been the star of Assassin’s Creed for the last three years, and within the game’s story, he’s been killing Templars for three decades. For better or worse that’s got to come to an end eventually, and it looks like Ezio is about to ride off into that Renaissance era sunset, but not before he gets some answer. The launch trailer for Assassin’s Creed Revelations gives you some insight into Ezio’s search for some sort of truth during his advancing years, all while he artfully murders dozens of people we’re assuming are jerks...

Dancing in the streets of the world's major cities ensued today as Ubisoft announced it would be forgoing always-on DRM for this year's Assassin's Creed Revelations. The developer has announced it won't require users to retain a constant Internet connection under threat of being booted even from the single-player game, as had earlier been threatened; instead, players will perform a one-time activation upon starting the game...

Clarity and Assassin’s Creed get along about as well as the Templars and Assasins (if that didn’t make sense to you, that’s part of the problem). To an outsider Creed’s plot of secret societies, Matrix-inspired memory regression, and the coming apocalypse makes little sense. Hell, we’ve beaten all the previous games and even we’re a little mystified by the franchises’ obtuse plot. No matter what your previous familiarity with the series is, it’d probably do you some good to watch this recap trailer if you plan on picking up Assassin’s Creed Revelations tomorrow...

Nolan North is arguably the best-known actor in videogames, due in no small part to his having starred in pretty much all of them. And while he's relishing his role as the vocal and facial lead of the Assassin's Creed franchise, North has a suggestion for Ubisoft: he wants to start strapping ping-pong balls to his extremities in the name of Assassin's Creed, and he wants other voice-actors to do the same...

Ubisoft has announced the first DLC for the newly-launched Assassin's Creed: Revelations. The Ancestors Character Pack will add four new characters to the multiplayer world of Assassin's Creed, each bringing their own complement of original weaponry, moves and taunts. The pack doesn't launch until Dec 13, but it, and its as-yet-unannounced followup, are available for preorder now...

Hot on the heels of Square Enix releasing a new set of screenshots from Final Fantasy XIII-2, now news has slipped out that the company will be partnering with Ubisoft to outfit one of its RPG heroes with a DLC wardrobe plucked straight from the Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

The cross-promotion will see FFXIII-2's lead Noel Kreiss outfitted with Ezio Auditore's assassin outfit from the latest sequel. Details of the design swap are sparse, however Square Enix did promise a firm release date and price tag shortly...

Ready for more backstabbing, smoke-bombing adventures? A listing on GameStop's website reveals that Assassin's Creed: Revelations is getting a batch of new multiplayer locales next month in the form of a Mediterranean Traveler Map Pack. Dated for a January 24 release, the preemptive listing gives few details on what the pack will actually feature. But according to its new listing on the Assassin's Creed Wiki, the DLC will be comprised of original multiplayer environments including Siena, Jerusalem, Dyers, San Donato, Firenze and the Imperial District of Constantinople...
