Ubisoft Montreal is such a tease. On its UbiWorkshop Twitter account, it's taken the opportunity to tease an upcoming project with a single image, as seen above.
The imagery is reminiscent of its Assassin's Creed IP, with a hooded figured standing near a flying eagle. The mysterious man stands in what appears to be a desert, with pyramids and a rising sun in the distance, hinting at an Egyptian location. This "secret project" image also features a emblem which features the letters "AC" on the top; the image itself is also called "Assassin." Could we be getting a peek at an unannounced Assassin's Creed project?
"Oh, and before you ask, this has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood," the account holder adds.
Maybe we'll hear more at E3, or maybe not -- Ubisoft has already confirmed that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will make an appearance; shilling two titles based on the same IP might not be in its best interest.
[Before it's asked or mentioned, the account appears to be legit -- Ubisoft's official Twitter account lists it as a dedicate Ubisoft account.]
[Update: The publisher has confirmed this "secret project" is not a game. It's been pointed out that Ubisoft is working closely with comic book artists; it's likely that this may be an Assassin's Creed-related comic book off-shoot.]

However, I am not sure how to feel about an Egyptian setting...
I'll leave quietly now.
Both accounts mentioned in these tweets are comic artists.
that's Giza, a bald eagle and a black dude in desert/assasin's gear. This either a teaser for AC3 or another spinoff. There are multiple Animuses (ANIMII?). This is either
1) a modern assasin
2) an ancient assasin played back in a memory
3)a modern assasin with live ancestral memories outside the animus (like in AC2)
Kind of a shame, I was hoping for a Feudal Japanese setting or a Columbus-era thing.
Still, fun.
I fact, I don't see how AC can wrap itself up with one more game. The trilogy, IMO, is going to be scrapped and just dragged out until Ubi feels it is time to stop.
the assasins creed games where always destied to be part of a trilogy so your comment is misplace and unfairly harsh. Your comment also shows how little you know.
I give your comment 4.5 out of 10 (billion).
You could argue that you would play a Japanese member of the Assassins, but most likely the assassins would have a difficult time establishing a branch during the feudal era of Japan. It would virtually have to be Meiji era. That also seems an unlikely choice because the over-arching plot is about Desmond. All that set up would be destroyed if the protagonist switches all the sudden.
Way of the Samurai 3 says "WHAT UP BONERS!?"
That said, Egypt AC would be weird. Very samey in settings to AC one, I think.
So there were those 6 super-assassins from AC2. Was one of them this guy?
Could this maybe be a revival of 8 Eyes?
For something that's allegedly AC, the Assassin's symbol just isn't in any of this sketch.
Also, is he holding a head?
While the Assassin's symbol is missing, it does say AC at the top, it also has an Eagle (Desmond's lineage always has eagle references) and possesses the geometric shapes/cityscape kind of imagery at the bottom of the image. Additionally, his man girder is the kind of thing that all of Desmond's line have worn in the past.
And that is totally a head. Good eye.
And Japan seems more natural than early Egypt. According to the story, the assassins existed to fight the templars, but they come into picture during the crusades... Any interesting setting in ancient Egypt would have to be set in pre-christ years.
But I think they gave better teasers for ACII, what do you think? It's definitely a different style to their custom, so perhaps it's not a new game entirely.
@SKSith I'd more lean towards a comic book adaption, too.
(isukatInglish?)
If Ubisoft can fix the broken combat, the godawful "stealth," the maddeningly hackish, very very poorly realized Animus/Desmond angle, and the DLC is already on the disc but give us more fucking money...I may check this out. But, it's Ubisoft. The worst publisher/game developer ever.
