Ubisoft Teasing Secret Project That Looks Awfully Like Assassin's Creed

We'll get a much closer look at the multiplayer-enhanced Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood at E3, but gamers were sent reeling this morning when artwork appeared to surface from a secret Ubisoft project that suggested something else Assassin's Creed was in the works. While we still don't know exactly what's up with the Egyptian-themed art, we can say it's not related to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

The art suddenly showed up at www.ubiworkshop.com.

What do we know so far? Ubisoft is collaborating with comic artists Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl. Stewart recently collaborated with Grant Morrison on Batman and Robin: Blackest Night, while Kerschl has contributed to Teen Titans: Year One, Adventures of Superman and others.

"Before you ask, this has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed Brotherhood," said Ubisoft.

That doesn't rule out a game...until a Ubisoft statement clarified it was "non-game" related.

What are Kerschl and Stewart working on? Start the guessing. Follow the project at @UbiWorkshop.

    it is kinda convincing to believe it is another assassins creed character because of the eagle almost the same outfit and at the top it has an emblem of an eagle and it has the initials ac on the sides

    it could be something like the origins of the assassins which would be kinda played out but maybe cool. the ppl that create this game do not let down the fans so whatever it may be i am positive they will deliver a great game. on a side note i love ac1 and 2 looking forward to brotherhood

    Maybe they're casting for the Assassin's Creed movie and they want Terry Crews to play Altair. It seems to go with Ubi's "Race-free" movie casting...

    All jokes aside though, it's some kind of cross between America (the bald eagle), Africa (the pyramids and the very subtle globe showing the African continent in the lower-right corner), and Japan (that glaring Red sun, and some of the armor choices). Mass Effect 2 had one of those Misadventures comics, and Halo as well, i think... Hell, I think Assassin's Creed would be a great comic.

    on the full image on the lower right it looks like there's a native American with a feathered head dress. im not entirely sure its a bit hard to tell.

    It has the AC on the playing card. This is for Assassin's Creed. It is probably for ACIII.

    I actually love how this Egyptian, well, looks Egyptian and not Persian like so many movies depict. Plus, he looks badass

    Look at it this way. There has been tons of stuff going on in Eqypt, even after the hight of the eqyptian empire. Does anyone remember World War Two? If you remember in AC1, there was a picture of Hitler with the Apple of Eden and if we remember history, the Nazi's were in Eqypt in the first part of the war with the italians. The British kept them at bay, Thank you Desert Rats. Nazi's as templars, and a black solider taught by a british solider to be an assassin. Also if you look at the symbol at the top of the picture, it looks slightly like the eagle that the Nazi's used. The Red Sun could also point to WW2.

    Any way you slice it, it's most likely a new assassin's creed and thats amazing. Ubisoft: FTW!

    The egyptian pyramids have been around for thousands of years....why are people associating this picture of the pyramids to a particular time period? This could very well be a story that takes place in egypt in the middle ages....or whenever, it doesnt necessarily mean it happened pre Anno Domini...

    I'm thinking Its a comic series that explains the birth of the assassin's... given the fact that it's as old as egypt and the whole crest with the eagle. maybe it'll explain the whole deal with the bird names (Altair meaning the flying one, and Ezio meaning eagle)
    Wasn't he one of the people you had to find the seal for to get Altair's armor in AC2?
    This is definatly egypt... no doubt about it...

    Those are definitely Egyptian pyramids. Aztek pyramids usually look a little different. Also, although it is cut out of the picture, I am seeing a scarab belt buckle....definitely Egypt. Nothing is to say the AC timeline has to always move forward...there were only 2 games...this does not make a good argument. I am really hoping for a whole new game franchise set in Egypt but I doubt it.

    The Eagle plus the A (EAGLE) C logo is suspicious. If its assassins creed based then im happy :D

    That's definitely an Assassin's Creed project, the eagle solidifies it. Evry character in the games sor far have been based on eagles.

    Maybe they are working on an Assassins Creed comic book or those illustrated novels or whatever they may call a comic book when it becomes a novel.

    It looks like it's going to be assassins creed. The garb looks like their previous designs, the eagle might represent america and the pyramid could be the pyramid from the all seeing eye. i have not really committed to beating assassins creed two yet but the templars and all of that stuff definitely fits into freemasons lore. It is hopefully signifying a more modern game not set years ago.
