Let the record show that Michael Pachter was right. Ubisoft has officially announced that they'll be releasing Assassin's Creed 2 during their next fiscal year (March 2009 to March 2010). A new Ghost Recon and Red Steel game are also coming. Details after the link.

Here's an upgrade! Michael Pachter is not just predicting sales figures of games and their companies. He's now crossed over to predicting game release dates! That's right. And his forecast is that Assassin's Creed 2 will becoming out before April 2010.

Wedbush Morgan analyst and video game industry information guru, Michael Pachter, recently let slip that the next Assassin's Creed game will be set several hundred years beyond the crusades, sometime in the 1700s and perhaps during the French Revolution. Ubisoft had a thing or two to say about that.

A sequel for Assassin's Creed was always expected, and hints have popped up here and there. Now, we have confirmation that it really is in the works. Not exactly formal as far as confirmation from studios go, but you take what you can get. Details after the link.

With an announcement of Prince of Persia going gold, Ubisoft is also bringing more good news: it looks like Altair's Assassin's Creed costume is being passed around and recycled like fruitcake presents from three Christmases ago. After being donned by none other than Solid Snake in MGS4, Altair's red-and-white robes go to the Prince as an unlockable costume in Prince of Persia. Screenshots and more info in the full article!

If Altair can clone himself, he can very well swim. In a recent interview, Prince of Persia's animation director David Wilkinson let slip details to what may very well be a sequel to Assassin's Creed *gasp*. Details after the link.

Ubisoft's on a definite roll this time around, with the company enjoying good sales numbers in the first quarter thanks to a boost afforded by the release of games such as Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC), and others.

Remember Hideo Kojima and Jade Raymond's interview from a few months back? Well, we might have been musing about them coming up with a Metal Gear Solid - slash - Assassin's Creed hybrid, and now... well... Let's just say we're pretty amused. In this gameplay video, we see Altair running around a familiar-looking war zone, carrying his own rifle and trying to fight a couple of... nah. Sorry. No spoilers. Anyways, though the video appears to not take itself seriously (clue: April 1, 2008), you can't help but think if there's actually more than meets the eye...

What has Jade Raymond's been working on after Assassin's Creed (Micorosft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, PC) was released?
