New Assassin's Creed II Images? Really?

Italian site Mondo Xbox has a bunch of possibly illicit images from Ubisoft Montreal's next action game.

A bunch of new images for the set-in-Renaissance-Italy Assassin's Creed II have appeared on Mondo Xbox, a site based in--where else--Italy. Via a Google-translated page, the site "entered into possession" of the shots... and that's all the explanation for their presence. So I'm just going to put these up, let you look at them, and slowly back away.


(Via N4G.)

EDIT: Yes, as Mondo Xbox points out, a number of these shots appeared in Game Informer, though some of them are also new.

Here is some concept art fetched from modoxbox. I used the google translator to get them.
Note how Ezio grabs hold of someone while climbing from the ledge. I hope that will be a feature in the game!
The italian site said that he would be able to do a similar move from the water. Enjoy

It definitely looks good, and it's kind of funny to see the hay carts back.

Wee..
Lots of new information! Seems there's someone else batteling a guard, that's great!
Maybe the citizens you save are of a little more use now. Also showing some guards in- doors. Maybe there are some some more inndoors assassination missions. Flying machine; obvious; but there is one more thing.
One of the red houses seems to have very little posibilities for climbing. Maybe the difficulty of climbing has been ramped up, so that it's not like you can climb everywhere as a matter of course anymore! That would be great! Expand the climbing into a new and more challenging experience i say! Woho!

I wish they could make a sequel all sandbox. You'd rent a low profile apartment for an HQ, the owner would ask for the rent occasionally so you'd go around stealing stuff to pay him, buying fancy gear from shady merchants which would give you access to places with more intricate locks and security mechanisms, stuff like that. You'd change clothing often because they'd put drawings of you up as a suspect for the recent crimes you've done, more often if you're careless, etc. You might even get a visit in your apartment by the guards, so you'd have to have secret stashes of the valuables, perhaps not even in the same apartment, or they'd lock you up. You could maybe plant the loot in someone else's place (perhaps your landlord's!) if you thought they're onto you, and pair it with one of your old suits, so they'd catch them instead. It'd be so awesome...

...But this will hopefully be awesome as it is, as long as it's got more variety than the first.

Was there any night parts in assassin's creed 1? This is a sick way to add more cover, though i guess since there isnt any one really outside at night it could be hard if your in some plaza

I like that Ubi didn't cop out and give Enzio everything but the ability to swim, especially in a place where the streets are paved with water.

That would have been it for me.

Go put on three layers of burlap and leather. Then grab one short and one long sword in thick leather sheathes. Then for good measure put 15 throwing knives in your pockets and cut off one of your fingers.
Now that you've done all that, grab a friend and a video camera and go swimming (preferably under a bridge)!

...

Oh! And yes. Ezio will be able to swim in this one :P

Well I could understand the plainclothes guards chasing after you with the same ability of an assassin, but if those plate clad behemoths can chase you, Im going to spit in Jade Raymond's face.

I'm one of the strange ones who wasn't really dissapointed my Assassin's Creed. Had its issues, but overall it was great. I can't wait for AC2 and these screen shots make it look really good! Can't wait!

These screens look to good to be true. I hope the day/night cycle is at least 6 hours long. But yeah, it was already one of the absolute best looking games and these screens make it look multiple times better. Downloadable demo during E3 would be a dream...
