A sequel for Assassin's Creed (360, PS3) was always expected, and hints have popped up here and there.

First there was a hint from Jade Raymond herself, hinting that the sequel might feature multiplayer co-op. Then there was the time Prince of Persia's animation director let slip that we might finally see Altair swim.

Now we have actual confirmation. Not very formal as far as confirmation from studios go, but we take what we can get. During Ubisoft's conference call, an executive conceded that "we are working hard on the product."

That's probably more than he should have let on, and he didn't give a release date either. At the least, we know the sequel really does exist. Good news for those who loved the first game - and for those who hated it, maybe Ubisoft can win you over with this one.
