AC: Brotherhood due out in November

By Tom Bramwell Published 14 June, 2010

Check out E3 trailer within.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is due out on 16th November this year.

That's according to a new trailer, which you can see below, that leaked onto YouTube earlier today.

According to the trailer, Brotherhood is set in Rome in 1503 AD, where there are lots of pigeons (reports that we're effectively live-blogging the CG while we write this are largely accurate).

Assassins, as ever, lurk in the shadows - and this time it does appear to be assassins plural, as protagonist Ezio Auditore is assisted by unseen supporters as he daringly approaches a Templar through a crowd of henchmen.

They all meet swift and unfortunate ends and then it really kicks off. It's worth watching the whole thing to see what happens.

Brotherhood is known to continue Ezio's story, and will also include multiplayer for the first time in the series.

You'll be able to read our impressions of Brotherhood very soon.

    Obviously milking it. I bet this is why Patrice left the team.

  • Spekingur #2 2 years ago

    I just wish that the cg trailer would be representative of the in-game graphics. Now that, would be rather awesome.

  • Shikasama #3 2 years ago

    I really couldn't get into the AC series. It was all so stale and repetative.

    Wonder how much of the game they will hold back this time, all in the name of improving the customer experience for project Ten Dollar.

  • Jonathan_Fakenham #4 2 years ago

    Don't get me wrong, I totally adore the Assassin's Creed series.
    But this, what the hell is this? It feels wrong.

  • Eraysor #5 2 years ago

    I hope they keep layering on the conspiracy theory stuff, I played AC2 more for the hidden story glyphs than for the actual gameplay.

  • M_of_the_sys #6 2 years ago

    Does that hint at multiplayer co-op then rather than a versus mode? Sounds good to me but cue 5 people all jumping the wrong direction off rooftops and plummeting to the floor.

    +1 Eraysor. I was a sucker for the glyph puzzles and the story behind it.

  • Kazzahdrane #7 2 years ago

    Not gonna lie - the idea of teaming up with the_dudefather and assassinating fools in 16th century Rome makes me so excited I might need to lie down for a bit.

  • Daeltaja #8 2 years ago

    Am I the only one thats pumped for this? Loved AC2 and even if its just more of the same, I wont complain. Don't know if I'm digging the Ezio clone posse though..

    Either way, really looking forward to this.

  • Spekingur #9 2 years ago

    Those are not Ezio clones!
    Those are assassins, fool!
    ...and there is nowhere to run.

  • M_of_the_sys #10 2 years ago

    Those are not Ezio clones!
    Those are assassins, fool!
    ...and there is nowhere to run.

    You could even say... a Brotherhood! :o

  • sfp_noodle #11 2 years ago

    I will only buy this if it has as much, if not more content than AC2. AC2 was deep and I found myself spending hours doing the sidequests, managing the village in which Ezio's uncle lives and finding all the assassin's tombs. Sadly, with only a years worth of development time, I doubt they will be able to cram as much into it as they did with AC2.

    Also, if they announce dlc before release its an instant no go for me. The pre-order prices suggest it is a game that should include a full game's worth of content so if shortcuts are taken to hound the consumer out of more money, it will fail. I think they already learnt that lesson with the rather ridiculous 'add-on' packs for AC2. This will most likely sell well given the numbers for AC2, but it will be a lost sale from me unless they really deliver.

  • Iain815 #12 2 years ago

    I couldn't really enjoy AC2 after mid way, I felt it got a bit repetitive. I liked the first because of it's story and it ended up being to sole reason I finished the second.

    Loved the Assassin tombs bit, mind.

  • hiddenranbir #13 2 years ago

    I don't get it, why didn't those unseen guys kill the main guy from range instead of all the guards?

    These Assassins are rubbish.

    @hiddenranbir
    the 'point' of the open assassinations was so that the act was public and seen by all (or at least how it was justified in AC1)

    and so they can have deathbed chats with the victims of course

  • TeaFiend #15 2 years ago

    I got tingles :]

  • Soton4084 #16 2 years ago

    I'm looking forward to this as AC2 was my (surprise) game of the year of 2009. Furthermore, it is the only game I have bothered to complete 100% and get platinum on and I purchased both the DLC's (which admittedly were a tad lacklustre).

    Hopefully aside from the multiplayer element this will intoduce some single player improvements such as new weapons, abilities, etc. A worry I do have is that I can't see Rome having that much of a different atmosphere to the citiess visited in AC2, as they are in the same country and same time period, so it may be too similar for my liking.

  • M_of_the_sys #17 2 years ago

    @zandergrin

    The AC cinematics have always been the same. Lingering shot of the bad guy. Snapshot of the crowd. Cut in of said assassin slinking through the crowd. Bad guy gets assassinated. Assassin gets chased and disappears.

    I thought this was going to be the same again except it had the other assassin's which hints at the multiplayer aspect of AC: Brotherhood without revealing anything really. I guess that's why it's called a teaser trailer.

  • greenllama88 #18 2 years ago

    That was one of the few CG trailers that I've ever really liked, felt like it was really following from the end of the last game... can't wait for the game and hope its more of the same as AC2 was fantastic...

  • a8a #19 2 years ago

    Quick note - the release date is not TBC, it says it right at the end of the trailer. Time to update the game page :p

    Edit: And indeed in the first line of the news article, so I guess its just an oversight.

  • makeamazing #20 2 years ago

    I loved AC2... i also worry with such a small dev time that they might not have enough content for a full price game. I am surprised if they had already started on the game that they havent mentioned it yet (as 1 year is not alot of time).

    Lets hope they havent sacrificed SP for mp stuff.

    Also i loved that trailer..

  • trip919 #21 2 years ago

    So what the hell is this? No. 3 in all but name or an expansion pack or something?

  • CalmHorizons #22 2 years ago

    My prediction: A rehash of old maps with some poorly implemented multiplayer elements that don't really fit the narrative, gameplay or ethos of the AC universe.
