Assassin's Creed fans have today been treated by Ubisoft with a trailer for their live-action prequel to Assassin's Creed II. Though at first there was speculation that Ubisoft would take the title to Hollywood, they have instead come up with a YouTube series that will lead up to the release of their blood-soaked sequel, launching on the 17th of November.

The three-part series will follow protagonist Ezio's tale and include some backstory on his father Giovanni Auditore da Firenze. It's hoped we'll see light shed on why Ezio takes the role upon Firenze's death.

The first of three instalments will be available to watch via Ubisoft's YouTube channel on the 27th of October, so keep your eyes peeled.
