Assassin’s Creed 2 ships 8 million, next game returns to Rome



Speaking in an investor call, following the release of Ubisoft’s fiscal third-quarter financial results, company CEO Yves Guillemot made it abundantly clear as to why another Assassin’s Creed will unsheathe its stabby things before April 2011. According to Guillemot, Assassin’s Creed 2, which launched in November 2009 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, has shipped 8 million copies. The original Assassin’s Creed had sold just as many by June 2009 — roughly 18 months after its debut.

Although details regarding the new Assassin’s Creed — set to star Ezio and some online friends — remain slim, Guillemot wasn’t mum on milieu: “This time, Ezio will strike directly against the templar’s order in Rome.” Can this Rome be built in a year, just in time for Holiday 2010?
