It's not what we've been expecting, but we'll take it all the same. Assassin's Creed has been announced for the Kinect… well, no. It hasn't. It's an April Fool's joke, and we can't really write articles like these with a straight face.
Needless to say, the video is well worth the watch or else we wouldn't be showing it to you. It was produced by HawkandGamble on YouTube, was entirely fan made by fans of the Assassin's Creed series just like us. No cheering in the press box? We'll cheer for Assassin's Creed, thank you very much.
This is a fan video completely planned, executed, and financed without the support of any of the companies related to Assassin's Creed, Kinect, or Wii.
We rented a RED Epic camera and a dolly, then pulled together a great group of friends that includes filmmakers, actors, effects artists, stuntmen, and even two business analysts to pull this all off. We shot it in one day, but did a lot of prep and post work.
Good stuff. Now let's hope it never gets made because I'd like to keep the furniture in my room intact.
