Moderated by G4TV's Morgan Webb, the panel entitled "Assassin's Creed: Behind and Beyond the Brotherhood" will include details of the new comic series and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Brotherhood video game release. Featured panelists will include Stewart and Kerschl, along with Jeffrey Johalem, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood video game scriptwriter. Stewart and Kerschl recently visited Saint Petersburg, Russia on a research trip for the upcoming project. That visit, along with the teaser video released today, will give fans an inkling on where and when the new Assassin comic series will be taking place. Additional details on the project will be revealed at the Comic-Con panel.
The new comic series is part of Ubisoft Montreal's UbiWorkshop initiative that encompasses a number of the studio's projects related to leveraging Ubisoft intellectual properties in entertainment mediums outside of video games, such as comic books.
