video game consoleGreat sequels are many times kept under wraps by game developers so none of the surprises are spoiled early. As was the case for sequel to Assassin’s Creed until a recent website popped up online. Ubisoft mentioned that the May issue of Game Informer Magazine will feature a preview of Assassin’s Creed 2 but some of the details found their way onto the video game console message board for a few hours before being deleted.

Here is what was said: the sequel will take place in the Renaissance-era of Venice, with Da Vinci undertones all over. Historic landmarks like the Little Canal, Rialton Bridge and Saint Mark’s Basilica will all be featured along with levels taking gamers into the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Swimming will be another new feature along with weapons such as axes and a mace. It sounds like famous historians of the time (1476) will also be featured. Pretty cool stuff but whether or not the leaked video game console details are real is up in the air. No one will know until next month’s Game Informer issue hits the shelves. I place my money on the leaked video game console facts as real.
