Assassin’s Creed Identity announced - for iOS

Today, Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed Identity, the franchise’s first Action-RPG, will launch on iOS devices on February 25, 2016. The mobile-exclusive game takes place during a fan-favourite time period, the Italian Renaissance.


Assassin’s Creed Identity challenges players to solve The Mystery of The Crows through a combination of thrilling story missions and countless quests. Players will create and customise their own Assassins and take them through numerous adventures in iconic settings from the Italian Renaissance, such as the Santa Croce area in Florence and the Colosseum in Rome. The Assassins will evolve throughout the game and progress from a novice to a master assassin. Characters can be chosen from four individual classes: Berserker, Shadow Blade, Trickster and Thief.

Assassin’s Creed Identity transports the fun, the freedom of movement and parkour to iOS devices using a variety of different controls: tap-to-move, dual virtual stick controls or with a gamepad. Assassin’s Creed Identity uses the Unity game engine to create stunning graphics never before seen on a mobile device, through amazing custom-made HD textures, shaders and models.

Developed by Blue Byte, a Ubisoft studio, Assassin’s Creed Identity will be available on the App Store for £3.99. The game requires iOS 7 and an iPad 3 or a later model, or an iPhone 5 or a later model.

I wonder if this stems from the same Assassin's Creed iOS tech demo that Ubisoft showed off before, because it looked fantastic for a mobile game. I'm not expecting anything amazing gameplay-wise with that price point, but Assassin's Creed is always at it's best when it's focusing on Italy/Rome.

Well, I guess the notion we'd go a year without a new assassins creed game was unfounded. It'll be interesting to see how the gameplay works out.

Not so sure about that. Edward's adventures in the Caribbean became quite popular.

I remember it like it was yesterday when my cousin brought his 360 over and showed me the original Assassins creed, which at the time blew me away.
I really don't like it that this initial impression turned into cynicism over the years.

Guys remember the awesome DS,PSP assasins creed games? I do. I wish I wouldn't. But this is the standard I expect this game to meet. Which will be scary if it even doesn't accomplish that.

An RPG has a lot of potential but on smartphones? Obviously aiming to make it a Freemium game so people will pay more than they should for it.

Not so much the DS one but the PSP was great. :)

I doubt my iOS (3GS) will run it as I'm on v6. :P
