Are you wearing your hooded cloak and and trying your best to look inconspicuous? Good, then you're ready to watch the first developer diary for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. (That, or you just really want to be ready for your office's next Halloween costume contest.)

In the video you'll find after the break, the game's key staffers provide a brief story primer and tease a pretty epic-sounding tale that begins immediately where Assassin's Creed 2 ended. They also discuss Brotherhood's recruitment system, which totally sounds like Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker's. Oh, and there are some live-action bits that look nowhere near as good as this. (And we bet your costume looks way better than theirs!)
