Though it should hardly surprise anyone, a recent slip at TGS has almost-kinda-sorta confirmed that a sequel to 2007's controversial hit, Assassin's Creed, is indeed being developed.

According to Animation Director David Wilkinson, "He [Assassin's Creed animator] is busy making Altair even more beautiful. Last thing I saw him do was [get] Altair to swim."

For those of you keeping track, this means that:

The ninja theme suspected given the original's indecipherable ending is a little less likely
He can finally swim--now you won't drown every time you touch the water. And that, children, is progress.

Assassin's Creed DS Gameplay Footage: I Feel Asleep

Since its announcement, Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles has been kept pretty close to Ubisoft's maternal chest, odd for a game that could conceivably be such a big deal.

Well here's some gameplay footage. Do not watch while operating heavy machinery.

I guess the minigame shown near the end to pick pockets looks pretty interesting. It appears you scratch out the screen to reveal the contents, then have to drag the thing you want out of the pocket like a medieval game of Operation.

If you've played through Assassin's Creed you might have been wondering how Ubisoft could shrink that entire visual package to the Nintendo DS and pass go.

Well, wonder no more. Here are some interesting shots of Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles on the DS. It looks like many of the game's mechanics will be present - pickpocketing, eavesdropping, roof-top leaping, etc - but apparently cut-and-pasted icons have been added to the GPS. At the very least, the game should prove entertaining.
