Shortly after Ubisoft's announcement that Assassn's Creed III will have an online multiplayer component comes word from CVG that the next title in the series will also be a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed II. This means that the game will once more feature the main character of the second title, Ezio, and will be developed by the same studio that made AC2.
In related Ubisoft news, G4 has confirmed that both Beyond Good and Evil 2 and I Am Alive are still very much in development.
We'll have more on these titles as more information is released.
"We have a new Assassin's Creed that we expect will be a very high quality product that as well as an offline component will have a multiplayer component," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said today.
"It is the same studios because it's not only one studio creating the game, but an association of studios and they are working together to make it happen."
A fellow Ubisoft spokesman then added: "The game will take place with the same hero, which is Ezio, and will follow-up the story that took place in Assassin's Creed 2."
