Assassin’s Creed: Identity launches on iOS later this month

Ubisoft have announced Assassin’s Creed: Identity, a mobile action-RPG reimagining for the series which will hit iOS later this month – February 25 to be precise.

Assassin’s Creed: Identity takes place during the Italian Renaissance – a “fan-favourite” according to Ubisoft. It will “challenge players to solve The Mystery of The Crows through a combination of thrilling story missions and countless quests.” Players will be able to customise their own Assassins and take them through numerous adventures and various settings such as the Santa Croce area in Florence and the Colosseum in Rome. Characters can be chosen from four individual classes: Berserker, Shadow Blade, Trickster and Thief.

Developed by Blue Byte (of Settlers fame), Assassin’s Creed: Identity is compatible with tap-to-move, dual virtual stick controls or with a gamepad. The game will be available on the App Store for £3.99. The game requires iOS 7 or higher in terms of software. In terms of hardware, players will need any model equivalent to or higher than the iPad 3 or iPhone 5.
