Assassin’s Creed for the WII U: How it will work

Ubisoft has offered some explanation as to how the new Wii U’s controller — including it’s hefty touchpad — will work for Assassin’s Creed.

The controller’s touch-screen will provide players with an interactive map and hotkeys for switching between weapons, display alternate puzzles, and will be used for the game’s Eagle Vision.

Though the Ubisoft representative did not explain whether this would be a reboot of an earlier Assassin’s Creed game or if it would be a brand new title for Nintendo’s new console, they did say that it would be re-using assets from the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC games.
