Today Ubisoft announced that Ubisoft Montreal is developing Assassin’s Creed II on all current-generation platforms for a scheduled Holiday 2009 release. The initial installment of Assassin’s Creed was released in November 2007 to popular and critical success, selling 8 million copies worldwide and garnering many awards.

Assassin’s Creed II is the product of over two years of development by the original creative team behind the Assassin’s Creed brand. In a vast open world environment, the game puts players in the role of Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who’s been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy. Ezio’s quest for vengeance plunges players into a story that offers more variety in missions, new gameplay elements, diverse weapons and a character progression that will appeal to fans of the original Assassin’s Creed as well as entice new players.

“Our creative team is working hard to top the experience of Assassin’s Creed,” said Patrice Desilets, creative director at Ubisoft. “We’ve made improvements to every aspect of the game. We’ve plunged ourselves into the stunning history of the Italian Renaissance so that we can offer fans a unique, varied and innovative Assassin’s Creed experience.” Today Ubisoft announced that Ubisoft Montreal is developing Assassin’s Creed II on all current-generation platforms for a scheduled Holiday 2009 release.
