Ubisoft has released a few artwork from Assassin's Creed 2, the sequel to Assassin's Creed in the works at Ubisoft Montreal and scheduled to Holiday 2009 release. In a vast open world environment, the game invites players to incarnate Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who's been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy. Ezio's subsequent quest for vengeance plunges players into a story that offers more variety in missions, surprising and engaging new gameplay elements, diverse weapons and a profound character progression that will appeal to fans of the original Assassin's Creed as well as entice players new to the brand.
