Not only is Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery now on iTunes, but Ubisoft has already announced a new AC iPhone game: Assassin’s Creed 2: Multiplayer.

This new game will be “coming soon” and is a multiplayer-only Assassin’s Creed game (as the name suggests) where you use Wi-Fi to connect with up to three other players in a lethal game of “hide and seek” set within the world of Assassin’s Creed.

In this game, the goal is simply to Assassinate the other players before they Assassinate you. Like in the actual game, players can use the crowd to their advantage by blending in to avoid detection. The game will also include three cities to play in inspired by the Italian Renaissance. And just to insure that you know you are playing a multiplayer game based on “fun” and not “realism”, the game will even include six different power-ups!

Besides the new power-up features, the game will include a dynamic notoriety ranking system, a built-in friends list, and will include over 24 achievements that you can earn and subsequently can post to Facebook to show off to your friends.
