New Assassin's Creed II Altair Ego

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.
