Ubisoft has announced Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery for the iPhone at today’s “It’s Only Rock and Roll” Apple Press Conference.

The game is based on the console versions but instead of being entirely in 3D, the game is controlled from a side-scrolling perspective. In addition to lots of platforming, the game will also feature an “immersive open-world.” Which will definitely be interesting to see from a side-scrolling viewpoint.

Assassin's Creed 2: Discovery iPhone Wanted posters To satisfy fans, the game WILL tie into it’s console brother as far as the game’s storyline is concerned. It will also be released day and date with the other versions, on November 17th.

An interesting new feature of this game is the ability to take snapshots with the digital camera on your device and use these to create “Wanted” posters. You can then put these posters up with whatever photo you want, around the walls of the city. Pointless? Probably, but still pretty nifty!
