Ubisoft's hotly anticipated Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is almost with us and to get you in the mood they've released yet another trailer. Although this latest offering's biggest new feature is the multiplayer mode, today's video is all about the game's singleplayer component with continues the tale of Ezio in Renaissance era Italy as he tackles the Templar Order in Rome. Watch it here on AusGamers.

Additionally, Ubisoft have also revealed yet another Creed-related project, Assassin's Creed Ascendance -- an upcoming animated short that, much like last year's "Lineage" live-action short, fills in a little back-story between this game and the last.

Assassin’s Creed Ascendance follows Assassin Ezio Auditore as he struggles to remove the treacherous Borgia family from their papal throne. Ezio will learn the brutal truth behind Ceasare Borgia's rise to power to control Italy.
