Ubisoft announces Assassin’s Creed Identity

A new mobile game

Ubisoft is bringing out another Assassin’s Creed game specifically for iOS. It’ll arrive on February 25, and will bring us back to the “fan-favorite” (or as some might say, “overused”) time period of the Italian Renaissance.

It’ll feature a progression-based experience system like past games, but will also introduce classes (Berserker, Shadow Blade, Trickster, and Thief), as well as a host of control options, including a gamepad. More details are coming on February 3.

This doesn’t sound all that bad honestly. Mobile gaming has progressed a lot over the years, and with the ability to use a controller, most of my major fears are assuaged.
