More Assassin's Creed: Revelations details emerge

SCEA blog were invited by Ubisoft to play a few hours of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, and they asked gamers to send through any questions they had regarding Assassin’s Creed: Revelations via Twitter.

Sifting through the obligatory nonsense tweets like “wil der b bewbs?”, Sony’s Jeff Rubenstein managed to answer a few coherent questions, and make some revelations, himself.

Amongst the features witnessed, there are a number of new mechanics and moves on show – including a fancy-pants hookblade that grandpa Ezio will use to zip across rooftops.

It’s also battle-ready, giving new meaning to “a hook to the face”

The button scheme has also been changed to free up access to secondary weapon controls.

The call-your-homies-to-kill-people feature is returning and has been upgraded, allowing your trained “Master Assassins” to protect your dens from attack in tower defence-like gameplay.

There are also specific challenges regarding your Assassin crew – whereby meeting certain requirements (using them x-amount of times) means they “recharge” quicker, and thus you get to use them more.

Even to Sony blog writers, Ubisoft were tight-lipped about a lot (or they made them sign some harshly-worded NDA) – but even these titbits flowing out of the Assassin’s Creed throne are enough to get us salivating.

Oh, and apparently it’s PS3 3D compatible, too.

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is hook-stabbing its way to Xbox 360 and PS3 on 15 November, and PC on 2 December 2011.

Local special edition and pricing info is available.
