Ubisoft has announced that it is developing and producing a new animated short story called Assassin’s Creed Ascendance. The animated short will launch in conjunction with the release of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood in North America on November 16, 2010.
Previously Ubisoft had created the short film Assassin’s Creed: Lineage – a live action and CGI mixture that provided a prelude to the events which were to transpire in Assassin’s Creed II. By most accounts, this short film was pretty cool and had great production values.
Assassin’s Creed Ascendance is a short animated story developed by Ubisoft Montreal. It bridges the narrative gap between Assassin’s Creed II and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood.
Assassin’s Creed Ascendance follows Assassin Ezio Auditore as he struggles to remove the treacherous Borgia family from their papal throne. Ezio will learn the brutal truth behind Ceasare Borgia’s rise to power to control Italy.
Unlike Lineage, which was released for free, Assassin’s Creed Ascendance will be available on PlayStation Store, Xbox LIVE, for a suggested retail price of $1.99 (R14). The film will also be available through torrent trackers other digital channels yet to be announced.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood is scheduled to release November 16, 2010 in North America and November 18, 2010 in Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It will be available for PC in early 2011.
