[BREAKING] Assassin's Creed: Revelations Unveiled! (New Screens and Trailer)

UPDATE: I just noticed that the end of this trailer mentions a Full Trailer release on the 7th June, which would put that pretty much in line with their E3 reveal... Coincedence? If I've learnt anything from Ezio, it's that nothing is true, everything is permitted...

We told you yesterday that Ubisoft was kicking things off in a big way this year, in celebration of their 25th Anniversary, and we've just got word in about one of the most anticipated games of 2011, AC:Revelations.

At first we thought the Hidden Pistol had been upgraded...

We can tell you this much, Ezio's back, looking a little older and wiser, and is following in the footsteps of his mentor Altair, a path that will "take Ezio to Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilise the region..."

The game is scheduled for a November release this year, and like it's previous incarnations, will likely have exclusive editions (My Ezio statue from AC:2 could use some company, Ubi!). We also know from two leaked screenshots that there'll be new weapons, ways of getting around, new characters, and the return of Multiplayer, as suggested in this excerpt from the email we recieved this morning:

...but it's actually a Zipline!
