Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is an upcoming direct sequel of 2009's awardwinning Assassin's Creed II. Featuring Ezio once again, the game pictures him, now a legendary master assassin, leading a brotherhood of his making into a hunt for Templars. This is also the first game of the series to include a multiplayer mode of any kind.

There is a high likelihood of Desmond Miles being in this new project, as his voice actor Nolan North has admitted to be working on a new unnamed Assassin's Creed game.
