#clips Follow along an entire stealth mission in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood with this developer video Ubisoft just released. It gives a glimpse a some a Ezio's new means a dispatching foes, 'n hints at other bottles a rum ye'll unlock elsewhere in the game. More »

This Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood trailer depicts a happy reunion between Leonardo 'n Ezio, 'n then walks us through a mission ... featuring Ezio's more aggressive homicide techniques. we be pretty sure he's a robot fueled by human blood. Yep, totally a murder machine.

Leading the charge a what Ubisoft be calling "companion games," Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy will launch on Facebook tomorrow, October 1. The strategy title, described as being similar t' Mafia Wars, will "unlock extra content" in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, which hits on November 16, in addition t' providing a way t' gain bonus XP in the console game.

On the flipside, playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will "unlock up t' 25 exclusive missions" in the Facebook game, as well as experience 'n in-game currency. it be what Ubisoft be calling a "virtuous cycle." Hey -- isn't that what Big Boss went on in Snake Eater? Oh. Guess not.

Parisian gallery Arludik will feature concept art created for the Assassin's Creed series during the month a October. "Assassin's Creed L'Exposition" will run from October 5-30 'n features 35 pieces a original concept art. Ubisoft claims the canvases have been appraised between €600 ($820) 'n €2,000 ($2,725).

If ye'd like t' own a piece a the exhibit, two pieces be selected t' have a limited run a 149 lithograph prints. Those will go on sale, likely in the limited edition section a the gallery's website, for €80 ($110). Those pieces will come with a certificate a authenticity 'n will be hand-signed by Ubi's graphic art director. Proceeds from the sales will be donated t' MO5, an organization seeking t' preserve the history a video games.

Xbox Live Marketplace has gone assassin crazy today, throwing Assassin's Creed 2 onto Games on Demand 'n tossing a gondola-load a Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood bottles a rum onto the Avatar Marketplace. The game will run ye $40, 'n the Avatar outfits aren't exactly cheap, weighing in at $5 each.

The PS3 beta for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood be finally set t' go live next week 'n if this video be any indication, the global murder rate be likely t' shoot up about 1,000 percent come October 4. What ever happened t' talking out our problems?

#clips Here be a look at what fans can look forward t' when the PlayStation 3 multiplayer beta for Assassin's Creed Brotherhood kicks off on October 4. Did the Doctor just punch that woman in the face? More »

This time out ye're the hunted. Check out a report from inside the beta.

When the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood beta launches October 4, who will ye play? The corrupt doctor? The deceptive courtesan? The always terrifying jester (it be so much like a clown!)? Ubisoft revealed this morning that ye'll be able t' choose from nine different characters across two modes 'n three maps in the forthcoming PS3 pre-order exclusive beta.

The first mode, "Wanted," be the scenario we previewed in June -- ye're tasked with assassinating one a the other players, assigned as yer target, before ye're eliminated by the player hunting ye. The second, "Alliance," pits three teams a two players against each other in a similar fashion (instead a individual targets, ye 'n a partner work t' take down the other teams). Both modes can be played on the beta's two initial maps, Rome 'n Castel Gandolfo; though when the beta launches, only Wanted will be available. Alliance 'n a third map, Siena, will be unlocked by the community by as yet unspecified means.

Perhaps the previous Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood footage ye've seen be lacking in the "music that makes ye wanna assassinate fools" department? This latest one certainly has plenty a that! "Burn me Shadow" by Unkle features prominently, as ye'll find out past the break.

#assassinscreed With the game out soon (November!), it be nice t' finally see a proper trailer devoted t' it be singleplayer campaign. More »

There be no doubt some distraught PS3 gamers wondering where their promised Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood beta be today. Sorry, it be not coming: An Ubisoft representative has confirmed with Joystiq that the beta has been pushed back, though the company couldn't offer us an exact date for when it'd be available. More info be supposedly coming "later this week."

With the European date for the beta being October 4, it be likely Ubisoft will announce the beta be worldwide, instead a regional. Who's taking bets?

[Thanks, Eric]

Seriously, Ubisoft. ye lads be absolutely killing it with this series a dev diaries for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the second installment a which be posted below. One part gameplay clips, one part backstory, one part insight 'n then -- t' top it all off -- one part cosplay? We approve.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for PC be tapping the snooze button until Q1 2011. Ubisoft made the announcement this morning, along with confirmation a an October 4 start date for the European multiplayer beta on PS3 -- the North American beta begins on September 13.

PC Assassins be probably noticing an emerging conspiracy (by the Templars, perhaps?). The series never seems t' make it out on the same day as consoles. Both Assassin's Creed 'n it be sequel came out on PC a few months after their console counterparts -- with some extra DRM drama tossed in for good measure. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood be still expected for Xbox 360 'n PS3 on November 16 'n 18 in North America 'n Europe, respectively.

Here we be, thinking -- foolishly, might we add -- that this holiday season might not be packed t' the gills with games we be way excited for. 'n then Ubisoft dropped this walkthrough a Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood from Gamescom, reminding us that there's one more game t' be crazy excited about.

Did someone say "war horse?" Yep, the narrator a the walkthrough certainly did. In addition t' all the other new stuff Ezio can do in Brotherhood, he's able t' hop from his horse t' others -- including the war horse, one a several new horse types. If that doesn't pillage yer pulse going, ye may have already been assassinated. Head past the break for the entire video.

Details on managing yer brotherhood, toppling Borgia towers, 'n using yer mini-hang glider.

The Assassin's Creed comic project revealed last month now has an official release date. WildStorm's Assassin's Creed: The Fall will land in a pile a hay on store shelves starting November 10, just a few days before the retail debut a Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. The Fall takes place in late 19th century Russia 'n follows the exploits a the assassin Nikolai Orelov as he seeks t' snatch "an artifact a immense power" from the Templars. It also promises a "climactic 'n violent showdown with the ruthless Tsar Alexander III aboard a speeding train!" Exciting!

#ubisoft The Assassin's Creed Brotherhood team be either immersing themselves in the game's fiction or preparing t' film a gothic metal video in the first installment a the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Diaries. More »

be ye wearing yer hooded cloak 'n 'n trying yer best t' look inconspicuous? Good, then ye're ready t' watch the first developer diary for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. (That, or ye just really want t' be ready for yer office's next Halloween costume contest.)

In the video ye'll find after the break, the game's key staffers provide a brief story primer 'n 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, 'n there be some live-action bits that look nowhere near as good as this. ('n we bet yer costume looks way better than theirs!)
