May Cover Story Revealed on the Game Informer Website shows the next print
issue of the gaming magazine will focus on
Assassin's Creed II. If the
character in the cover art seems unfamiliar, that's because the stealthy sequel
features a new player character named Ezio. Word is: "In Assassin’s Creed 2,
players take on the role of Ezio, a young noble whose family was lost through
rival ruling families' betrayals. In addition to the new character, players are
going to get to explore a new setting: Renaissance-era Venice. What else is
going on? Well, you’re going to have to pick up the May issue of Game Informer
if you want the complete story on Ubisoft’s latest." There are also articles on
Kotaku and
ScrewAttack
(thanks Chris) with information supposedly contained in that Game Informer
coverage, though this is all unconfirmed at the moment.
