Ubisoft is working on a new Assassin’s Creed graphic novel titled “Assassin’s Creed: Brahman”. Fortunately, it won’t be a random, superfluous part of the series’ universe. Writer Brenden Fletcher has said that the new comic will contain “extremely strong hints” about the mainline series’ future.

Fletcher told GameSpot:

“The story that’s in the present is really significant and is filled with hints for what you’ll see in the future. I can’t say much more than that about the hints, of course, but if you’re really excited about Assassin’s Creed games and you want to know where everything’s going past Black Flag and into the future, there are extremely strong hints in Brahman.”

Assassin’s Creed: Brahman – set in Indie with the new assassin Arbaaz Mir – will be available this fall.

Assassin’s Creed IV will tackle slavery, but won’t over-play it– “we’re going to focus on telling it like it was”

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

“I wanted to treat slavery in the game. It’s a very delicate subject, obviously. But I thought the best way to approach it would be to make it a fact of life. Rather than go for any intense scenes of brutality to draw in your sympathy, I wanted something that was more low-key, but constant. We’re going to focus on telling it like it was.”

“It’s true that pirates were more egalitarian, but there was still quite a bit of bigotry at the time. Runaway slaves would often sail with pirates, but they were still not trusted with weapons, most of the time. I hope I deal with that in the script, very frankly.”

An official description for “The World of Capcom Games” Comic-Con panel teased Mega Man 25th anniversary news. Yet for some strange reason, the franchise barely had a presence at the event. Other than a brief mention of a comic-related initiative that we had heard about previously, Mega Man’s name wasn’t even brought up.

So what on earth happened? As it turns out, the big news was the announcement of new Mega Man Game Boy games for the 3DS Virtual Console. Capcom community manager Brett Elston recently clarified the situation and explained why the news wasn’t shared during the actual panel:
