Bell reconfirmed for Creed

Look at her in virtual form.

Ubisoft has said actress Kristen Bell will definitely be appearing in Assassin's Creed, even though she tried to spoil the plot a year ago.

The publisher reconfirmed the Heroes (Elle in Season 2) and Veronica Mars star's involvement to Kotaku by sending the website a picture of how Bell will look in game, side-by-side with her real-life face.

It is quite stunning, actually, although we have no idea which is which - it is either the alien on the right or the lovely lady on the left.

Bell put her foot in the proverbial cow pat last year by shooting her mouth off about the top secret bit of the Assassin's Creed plot. We won't repeat what she said because you scare us, but you can refresh your brain in our old news story.

Assassin's Creed is shaping up very well and features in both our PS3 and 360 list of games to buy this Christmas.

The full game is due out on 16th November, and you can find out much more about it over on our Assassin's Creed gamepage.
