'Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles' (NDS) First Details

by Rainier on Jan. 12, 2008 @ 8:32 a.m. PST

Back in October 2007, a Nintendo release list revealed Ubisoft is working on an NDS version of Assassin's Creed, and while there is yet to be an announcement, the first details are trickling in. Developed by Gameloft, Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles will be set prior to the console versions. You'll be able to pull off acrobatic moves in a fully 3D environment, interrogate informers and pick pocket by using the stylus, master sword fighting, stealth assassinations, combo attacks, and a variety of weapons.

Assassin’s Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, Assassin’s Creed merges technology, game design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change.

The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict.

You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your ruthlessness. Your actions can throw your immediate environment into chaos, and your existence will shape events during this pivotal moment in history.
