Assassin's Creed III set in Rome

Ubisoft has said, during its third quarter financial conference call, that the next Assassin's Creed chapter will see Ezio in Rome, after a fight with the Templar.

The assassin will be traveling to Rome in the next Ubi Montreal-developed title, with a Ubisoft rep revealing Ezio's plans is to "strike directly at the heart of the Templar Order" (thanks Kotaku).

The same rep mentioned the multiplayer aspect without giving anything away but did stress the importance of it.

Assassin's Creed 3 was unveiled in January, which the company is due to release before March 2011, though a Christmas release is looking likely.

"We have a new Assassin's Creed that we expect will be a very high quality product that as well as an offline component will have a multiplayer component," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said today.

"It is the same studios because it's not only one studio creating the game, but an association of studios and they are working together to make it happen."

Who said it will be AC3?? I think it will be a new PSP game or maybe Wii.
