Ubisoft has a cache of Assassin’s Creed concept art, giving us fans of hidden blades and parkour assassination an eye-pleasing treat. Though the original game was released back in 2007, the concept art comes from 2004 and shows off more of a Prince of Persia style, a female assassin, and much more. Interestingly, the concept art was created so long before the game idea was cemented that the team thought they were creating a Prince of Persia spin-off. Each piece of concept art was drawn by Khai Nguyen, who seemed to have a pretty good idea what the game should look like, considering the final build turned out fairly similar to the 2004 concept art. Check out the rest of the pretty art below.
