This is getting stranger and stranger.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 05:53 AM
interesting, looking forward to it full revealThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 05:57 AM
I can't wait until they finally come out and announce this game, n which I have a feeling they will at this years E3.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 05:58 AM
id like to see altair again, so both protagonists have 2 games each. And some of you have to admit, you only hated Altair because if he did fall into a small pond going to die! n_nThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:04 AM
E3 will be the real reveal. Altair it is then. So you have AC/AC2/AC:B/AC:R - Altair second chapter - hopefully lead on to AC3. Then it would be good to venture out to loads of different places - each year a different assassin.:) -China/Japan/EgyptThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:07 AM
Yes, I absolutely loved Altair. Bland as a character, but then again he was only ever meant to be a pure bad ass, so I didn't think it really mattered. Ezio was just a pompous douche, which fortunately slightly went away in Brotherhood. Therefore, I think it all goes down to opinion. Only reason why when you went in a puddle and you got desynchronized, was mainly due to Altair propably never went in water (I don't think they had swimming lessons back then, maybe I'm wrong).Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:18 AM
I hope we play as Scott Stapp to finally give the "creed" half of the title a bit more relevance.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:32 AM
And the award for the best tease goes to... Ubisoft! I love the whole series, every game has led me to rage at the ending because I hate cliffhangers, which was partly the reason why I stopped watching EastEnders. However, if there's one thing Ubisoft could do for me... No multiplayer in this next one thank you.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:39 AM
Sry, but the number is actually Altairs birthdate and the eagle: "Double-headed eagle emblem of the Byzantine Empire. The head on the left (West) symbolizes Rome, the head on the right (East) symbolizes Constantinople." It's a hint for Istanbul (Constantinople)Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:40 AM
Altair used the apple to live forever, duhThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:49 AM
@10 I was under the impression that his grave was found in AC2.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:49 AM
@8 -You were being sarcastic, right ? Dude who watches EastEnders?! lol - It's one of the things that put a shame on being English! lolThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:50 AM
@ 4 - Altair has also appeared in Bloodlines and Altairs Chronicles But I agree that I'd much rather him get his own full Brotherhood style game.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 06:51 AM
@7, the name is totally relevant, at least for the first game. It starts with Altair breaking all three tenants of the Assassin's Creed, and then you spend the rest of the game reproving your honor. With the II and Brotherhood, you still abide by the creed, but it's not the major focus. I'd be amazed if we don't get a reveal prior to E3. With the week long teasing going on I'll be surprised if they don't reveal it tomorrow. I'm not expecting any gameplay footage, but maybe a trailer and some minor details.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:01 AM
I think the new Assassin will be someone from before Altair's time. Think about it, in the first trailer they showed Ezio's Birthdate, in this one they show Altair's, presumably the next trailer would continue the trend of going backwards and be one of Altair's ancestors?Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:02 AM
YES! Alta "F*cking" ir! If the story is just as good as the first one and the multiplayer is improved, this will be a contender for GOTY.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:03 AM
@14, nothing will ever be as relevant as performing a dive from a highpoint while blasting "my sacrifice."Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:03 AM
Anyone notice how the eagle seems to be holding the apple of eden?Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:10 AM
Over saturation point is reached for me.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:11 AM
Sweet.. AltairThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:13 AM
cant be FUCKED with any more altair, he had his shot. imo he was really boring and that we need a new assassin. how many games has altair had? including psp exclusives etc. ezio has had at least 3 by now with the psp game too. bring in new assassins! altair was badass but seriously he had the personality of a wet fishThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 07:13 AM
Assassin's Creed Bratton: Corporate AssassinationThursday, May 05, 2011 @ 08:01 AM
Actually it's two-headed eagle and it represents the national emblem (coat of arms as some would say) of pre- and post-Soviet Russia. You can wiki it if you want. Intrigued more than ever!Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 09:00 AM
I could not care any less about all this teasing. I'm gonna get it when it comes out. this "teasing" isn't making me want it anymore.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 09:13 AM
could 11/01 be a release date?...Im so pumped!Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 09:18 AM
Maybe we'll play as more than one assassin.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 09:28 AM
So is anyone piecing all these snippets together into one longer vid? That would be cool to see.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 09:29 AM
I like the way #26 thinks. It could be a very interesting means of story progression if both Assassin's are experiencing things that are connected, but they have no idea how, but it makes perfect sense for Desmond. My imagination is running way too wild with this.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 09:36 AM
I honestly hope that this game involves Altair at some stage. I loved that period of history and the conspiracies and controversies that surround it.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 09:39 AM
Great, a trilogy that already has 4 titles (so far). I would liek to just finish the story, because as much as I enjoy the game, I think that they are just concentrating too much on what happened in between....Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 10:00 AM
Well, I'm sure this didn't come as a surprise to most. I'm hoping that he isn't water-soluble in this game, though.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 10:06 AM
To be honest I was more excited with the rumors going around. - A ninja in Japan - A woman in WWI/WWII - A revolutionary during the French Revolution All sounded really interesting . . . and then it turns out to just be Altair again :(Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 10:31 AM
"A new face" I'm sorry but can someone explain to me who the fuck Altair is a new face? We've seen him before. I was expecting a new assassin.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 10:33 AM
Altair FTW!Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 10:46 AM
Wait wasn't Altair in 1191 in AC1? So how could you play as Altair? Unless he was like 50 something in the first one, and if so he's a freaking beast,Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 11:23 AM
Hmm, both assassins and maybe a co-op?Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 02:22 PM
Has anyone read this? http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/05/05/acrcoverrevealjune.aspx The link is in the facebook page so it is accurate. It says we'll play as Altair, Ezio and Desmond, so I guess the reason for the birth dates is explained. I wish it would a Altair or Altair/Desmond story only, showing how Altair got to use the armor we unlock for Ezio in the AC2 and some other things that got revealed about his life.Thursday, May 05, 2011 @ 02:33 PM
could it be set in the crusades again? me likey could it be to do with byzantium? i hope so, please please please let me climb the hagia sophia!Sunday, May 08, 2011 @ 03:31 AM
Nice to see Altair, but where's Assassins Creed 3?Thursday, June 30, 2011 @ 01:50 AM
It'd be rather interesting to see a female assassin. I've always found it weird to play Brotherhood's multiplayer as a female character (the courtesan ftw), to be playing Assassin's Creed, doing leaps of faith and free running over rooftops as someone who looks so different from Desmond/Altair/Ezio, and I never get used to it no matter how much MP I play. So yeah, female assassin please, at least for a sequence or two.Saturday, July 23, 2011 @ 10:32 PM
Henry VI's birth date I think.

Yet another piece in the ongoing Assassin's Creed: Revelations teaser campaign has been revealed today, with a Twitter post from Ubisoft UK, promising "a "new" face to recognise today..." And that so-called 'new' face looks to be Altair, which is hardly unexpected.
A second date has also popped up in the latest part of the teaser, with 11.01.1165 flickering up for a split second. A cursory glance at the date on Wikipedia shows that events of significance in that year included Byzantine Emperor Andronicus I escaping from prison and Pope Alexander III entering Rome, but more fittingly, it also notes that 1165 was the year the the Muslims took Caesarea Philippi from the Crusaders.
Could the next Assassin's Creed game have something to do with this particular event? It would certainly fit in with Altair's story. A closer look at the video also reveals the eagle symbol associated with Altair, indicating that the assassin is almost certain to play some role in the next AC.
Jump onto Facebook to try and reveal more Assassin's Creed clues.
