If you thought that last year’s PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was really scraping the bottom of the figurative barrel, then thank your lucky stars that Assassin’s Creed: Duel never saw the light of day. A NeoGAF poster discovered the attached concept art on the personal portfolio of Benoit Perreault, a former Ubisoft employee who now works for Eidos.
The images appear to hint at a two-dimensional brawler, which was apparently targeting digital platforms such as the PlayStation Network. Fighters supposedly included Assassin’s Creed favourites such as Ezio, Altair, and Desmond, as well as other Ubisoft protagonists like Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell), Jade (Beyond Good & Evil), and, er, Rayman.
Each picture stresses that this is “not an actual game”, so it’s likely that these are either really early concepts or the product of a desperate brainstorming session. Either way, we suspect that the project was cancelled a long time ago – if it even got properly started at all. Is this something that you’d have been interested in playing? We’re going to guess not.

Might've been a neat fighter. Who knows?
i dunno it could have worked as long as the left out the other non assassin's creed characters
Why wouldn't I want to play it? LOL it does seem better than the yearly AC game that is turning into a CoD thing..
It could actually have turned out to be good
I totally would have picked Desmond as my main. Because Desmond is the best character there. Hands down. Desmond is just super.
It actually looks pretty interesting.
No heroes of might and magic? Ubisoft, I am dissapoint
You've all gone mad...
Lol I would play this game just for the fact I can make Prince Of Persia fight Ezio O_O
LOL That text in red down the bottom calls the PSN the PNS.
Who in the high hell thought that you could make an Assassin's Creed game where everyone gets the crap beaten out of them by Rayman?
REVIVE THIS GAME UBISOFT!
I think this was ever going to be a real game about as much as all those KISS Destroyer pictures I drew on the backs of my notebooks in middle school were ever going to be the cover art for a real KISS album.
that's a great game from how it's look.
even though i understand how hard it is for a publisher to give an "okay" for a new genre for a series
Thinking about it Rayman would be a pretty good fighting game character, with his floating limbs potentially making him an effective close/mid range character.
