Ubisoft has said, during its third quarter financial conference call, that the next Assassin’s Creed chapter will see Ezio in Rome, after a fight with the Templar.

The assassin will be traveling to Rome in the next outing from the series, with a Ubisoft rep revealing Ezio’s plans is to “strike directly at the heart of the Templar Order” (thanks Kotaku).

It was also revealed that Assassin’s Creed 3 might have a multiplayer aspect.

Assassin’s Creed 3 is due to be released before March 2011, but Im sure it would be out before Christmas time.

“We have a new Assassin’s Creed that we expect will be a very high quality product that as well as an offline component will have a multiplayer component,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said today.

“It is the same studios because it’s not only one studio creating the game, but an association of studios and they are working together to make it happen.”
