Assassin's Creed for X360?

So we're told.

As rumours fly that forthcoming action adventure title Assassin's Creed won't be a PS3-only title after all, Ubisoft is remaining interestingly non-committal on the subject.

Speaking to Eurogamer this morning, a representative said: "At the moment, other formats of Assassin's Creed are unconfirmed." Which suggests they're at least considering an Xbox 360 release - despite only announcing the game's realease on the PS3 when it was first announced on May 2nd.

Assassin's Creed is set in 1191 AD, during the Third Crusade, and sees players take on the role of hero Altair. It's being developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the same studio who brought us the Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell games.

It looked awfully spanky when we had a look at it at E3 last week - rather intriguingly, the Ubi rep who presented a playable demo behind closed doors at E3 mentioned the game was also coming to the Xbox 360.

As has a report on Noooz.com, which claims that a Ubi employee has also stated the game is in development for Xbox 360.

We may have a while to wait before anything is officially confirmed - in the meantime, why not check out the trailer on Eurogamer TV.
