Gameloft has released details of its upcoming Assassin’s Creed game for the iPhone and iPod touch.

The game offers a mix of stealth, problem solving, and action, and features skill-based mini-games, cinematic cutscenes, the ability to upgrade Altair and his six different weapons, and 3D graphics. Assassin’s Creed for the iPhone and iPod touch is expected to launch next week; pricing has yet to be announced. Continue reading for more screenshots.

Yes!!! I just completed assassin’s creed on the computer and am disappointed that there isn’t a sequel/prequel to it available. Now that there will be, I can’t wait! I will definitely buy this game when it comes out.

This looks like a port of the Nintendo DS game. I played that a while back, and it was pretty good. Not sure how well the all-touch interface will work. The DS game used touch and the buttons.
