Franchise’s first ARPG leaves Oceania Ubisoft has launched Assassin’s Creed Identity for iOS, the company announced in a press release. Developed by Ubisoft studio Blue Byte, the mobile game is available on the App Store for $4.99. You can see it in action above.
Assassin’s Creed Identity stands as the franchise’s first action-based role-playing game, in which customizable assassins take on missions throughout Renaissance-era Rome. Players can control their characters by tapping the touchscreen, with a virtual set of analog sticks or using an external gamepad.
Ubisoft soft-launched Identity in Australia and New Zealand back in the fall of 2014, a release that coincided with the announcement of a future worldwide launch. During this initial release period, the game was available as a free download with microtransactions.
Ubisoft confirmed on the Assassin’s Creed Identity Twitter account that an Android version was in the works, but no release date has been given for that version of the game. A post on the game’s Facebook page suggests the development team ran into unexpected roadblocks while working on the title, but confirms it remains in development. The Twitter also shows a steady stream of updates since the game’s soft launch, although it has remained mum on the game’s planned international release.

Worst of the worst of the worst, sir Suicide Squad has been holding fans riveted since the first footage of it hit the web (or maybe even when the first pictures of Jared Leto as a tattooed Joker hit).
And speaking of tatted-up Joker, part of the reason that Suicide Squad hype has not slowed down in the intervening months is that the production has made some wild choices, in design and tone. For once, it seems like Warner Bros. is producing a DC Comics movie that isn’t retreading tropes and hero arcs we’ve already seen a dozen times in previously released superhero films. But the question remains: Will Suicide Squad ultimately fly at the box office, or will it trip on those wild choices and fall flat on its inked-up face?
Who knows? But with that kind of attention from fans, combining Suicide Squad with footage from Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited and other fan-beloved shows in the DC Animated Universe can’t go wrong.
