There have been a bunch of those Assassin’s Creed spin-off games. But this newly revealed one offers a new spin. It’s a strategy sim.
Dubbed Assassin’s Creed: Utopia, the game is set during America’s colonial era and allows players to build their 17th century colony — and then, watch it flourish over 150 years, right up to the American Revolution.
But this isn’t just Sim City for AC. In Utopia, your colony is filled with assassins, who take on their enemies in “limited time epic battles”.
Assassin’s Creed: Utopia is slated for release later this year.

There's a point where trying to spread an IP across genres, formats and platforms becomes a little silly... and an Assassin's Creed city-builder might just be it. :/
The game kinda already was though...
Fail. Zynga'd
AssassinVille?
I'll probably end up spending a couple of hours playing this.
