GameStop pre-orders of AC: Brotherhood include Harlequin bonus character



The description of the "GameStop exclusive" Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood pre-order bonus seems apt for the terrifying Harlequin character: "Behind the gaudy costume and twisted smile lies the soul of a merciless assassin. You call yourself the Harlequin. Your victims will call you a walking nightmare." Presumably the whole "walking nightmare" thing is because you're a "merciless assassin," but for us, the clown makeup is sufficiently horrifying in its own way.

No details have been provided on what other retailers might give to pre-order customers, but if past Assassin's Creed "retailer exclusive" bonuses are any indication, the Harlequin will be available for all to play eventually (presumably for a few virtual bucks). We've dropped an additional image of the terrifying multiplayer character in our gallery below, should you be so inclined.

That thing looks more like a Joker or Jester, I have no idea but you know those clowns with the bells on there hats

E3 2010: Brotherhood is Assassin's Creed 3 'in scope'
But numbered sequels need new setting and era, says designer

Brotherhood is Assassin's Creed 3 "in scope", Ubisoft Montreal designer Patrick Plourde has said.

Speaking to CVG in a just-published Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood interview, the designer said numbered Assassin's sequels require a new setting and era.

He said: "In terms of scope, yes it is Assassin's Creed 3, in terms of a brand we want to keep the numbers for when there is a new protagonist and a new era. It's more consistent.

"So you have Assassin's Creed in the crusades, Assassin's Creed 2 which is in the renaissance... let's say that we go onto the moon for Assassin's Creed Astronaut; that is going to be Assassin's Creed 3 - I don't want to spoil anything."

He added: "The historical setting is so important in the franchise."

E3 2010: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood gameplay videos
Impressive E3 movies of Ezio's next adventure

It may be more Assassin's Creed 2.5 rather than the full blown sequel, but we're still salivating at the prospect of Ezio's second major outing arriving before the end of this year.

One of the big attractions of course is a whole new bunch of multiplayer modes which will come with the game, but even hardcore Assassin's Creed fans (like ourselves) have been pondering how will they work actually work in practice?

Well, wonder no more, as we've secured two fine new movies, the first of which shows exactly how 'Wanted' assassination missions play out in the new game.

In it, you'll discover the saucy looking courtesan skin, how to track down and execute your AI victim and then how to evade fellow assassins for a maximum points score. Looks very intriguing indeed.

The second movie is drawn from the single-player version of Brotherhood and sees the villa Auditore under heavy siege from the Borgia forces.

An excellent opportunity to showcase some of the new gameplay variety in Brotherhood like using cannons against enemy siege towers and how joyriding your horse through cities and towns is well, sheer joy.
