Gameloft Brings an Epic Adventure of the Holy Crusades to Mobile with Launch of 'Assassin's Creed(TM)'

Gameloft®, a leading publisher and developer of video games for mobile phones, is announcing today the launch of ‘Assassin’s Creed™,’the mobile game based on Ubisoft’s critically acclaimed new franchise console title. ‘Assassin’s Creed’ is set in Jerusalem, 1191 A.D., when the Third Crusade is tearing apart the Holy Land. Mobile users play as Altair, an elite assassin, sent to kill leaders on both sides of the conflict in order to end the Third Crusade. Along the way, players discover that the men share a dark secret – one that threatens not only the Holy Land, but the entire world. "Gameloft excels in creating unexpected, innovative, action gameplay and Assassin’s Creed is a great example of this,” explains Karine Kaiser, Deputy Director of Marketing for Gameloft. "The game will intrigue and appeal to a wide range of mobile users with its mix of riddles, exploration, adventure and amazing combat scenes.” Players feel the action up close with two gameplay modes, primarily the side-scrolling mode which allow you to explore, assassinate and escape obstacles. The game also features medieval weapons for close combat and long-range attacks, acrobatic moves and extraordinary combos that mix sword skills, strikes and kicks. The game stays true to the original console storyline, but also incorporates a frenetic horseback manhunt and detailed crowd interaction that is unique to the mobile game. Assassin’s Creed guarantees intense captivation with the breathtaking adventure and responsive environment that makes players interact with people and objects for stealth moves and riddle-solving exploration in order to advance. The game offers 13 daring missions and journeys through four beautifully rendered, historical cities in the Holy Land. Players also have the chance to collect mysterious memory blocks to gain extra, yet unknown, bonuses. The mobile game of Assassin’s Creed is available now through most U.S. carriers.
