Gameloft releases shots of Assassin's Creed mobile game

Gameloft has revealed the first screenshots of its upcoming game, Assassin's Creed, although since they're a teaser on the publisher's website, there's no other information about.

That's no barrier to speculation, of course, but we do know Assassin's Creed is coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Set in 1191 AD, a time when the Third Crusade s tearing the Holy Land apart, you play Altair who's intent on putting a stop to the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Which is a nicer way of saying that you go around killing people – that is what assassins do, after all.

How much of the console game will translate to mobile remains a mystery (much as Altair himself) but from the screenshots we should expect flawless platform action, exquisite scenery, and pursuits on horseback to break things up a bit.

Hopefully the decent assassin-style special moves from the console versions will make it across, too. We can't get enough of sneaking up behind enemies and doing vicious, nasty things to their veins.

Anyway, we'll bring you more when we get full details on Assassin's Creed.
