As already predicted, the game will be set in Italy, during the 15th century, etc. The protagonist is Ezio Auditore de Firenze and Leonardo da Vinci will presumably make an appearance in some way or another.

What we love about the Assassin's Creed franchise is the setting. These points in history are rarely touched upon by video games and that makes the prospect of another game in the Assassin's Creed library really exciting. We do hope they take less of a focus on the sci-fi stuff, mind. Oh — and make the mission structure a bit more interesting.

We're just waiting for Jade Raymond to make her first appearance now. Surely she won't wait until E3?
