It’s coming to the iPhone!? Yes. Yes it is.
For some reason Assassins Creed seems like an odd choice for an iPhone game. A 3rd-person action/adventure game requiring quick controls and acrobatics doesn’t sound like the kind of game an iPhone would work for. But if anyone can innovate and create a solid console experience for the iPhone, it’s Gameloft. We’ve of course known about Assassin’s Creed being developed for the iPhone for some time now, but I’m pleasantly surprised at how good it seems to be turning out. I’ll the screenshots and press release speak for themselves!
