So, on which side of the French Revolution will our assassin sit? And what legendary figures will form part of the cast? Certainly the period is rife with the sort of intrigue and conspiracy that the Assassin's Creed development team adores. Meanwhile, Kotaku and other sources have hinted that a separate adventure – allegedly codenamed Comet – is being developed for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Interestingly, while the last title in the series, the critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, was a cross-generational release, it seems this title will be on PC and the 'next-gen' machines only. It's likely Ubisoft will be making a big reveal at this year's E3 video game event in Los Angeles. Little else is known about the game right now – apart from rumours of a four-player co-op mode. The short trailer not only shows the setting, but almost certainly the new assassin lead character – looking down on the revolutionary chaos.

Its hand forced, Ubisoft announced on Friday, that Unity is indeed the next Assassin's Creed title, and that it has been in development for three years.
