Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery also coming to DS/DSi

I don’t know why Ubisoft chose to go with a slow trickle approach instead of a one-time splash, but Ezio is creeping onto almost every major gaming console, both home and handheld. Today, they announced that their boy Ezio is also heading to the Nintendo DS by way of Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery from developer Griptonite Games.

I don’t know why Ubisoft chose to go with a slow trickle approach instead of a one-time splash, but Ezio is creeping onto almost every major gaming console, both home and handheld. Today, they announced that their boy Ezio is also heading to the Nintendo DS by way of Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery from developer Griptonite Games.

Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery features an  untold chapter in the life of Ezio. In this new adventure, Ezio travels to Spain to rescue fellow assassins being held under the guise of the Inquisition, only to uncover a Templar plot to sail west and discover the New World.

Discovery shares the same name — as well as the feature that lets DSi owners take pictures of themselves and place them as “Wanted!” p9osters in-game — with the one they’ve announced earlier for the iPhone, since it’s pretty much just the same game. They did the same thing for Altair’s Chronicles after all.

Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery will launch on November 20.
