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.]
