Assassin’s Creed II: Fan Day!
Last week, I mentioned on Twitter that we were having a fan day in Montreal and I got tons of private messages about it!
So now is the time to unveil all the details about that event. Basically, we decided a while ago to welcome a few fans into our studio, a couple of weeks before the launch of the game, and give them the opportunity to see where we are creating Assassin’s Creed 2, but also introduce them to the people behind the game!
I had to say that our team was excited to meet fans, and we had a few surprises waiting for them. You are probably wondering who these fans are, and I have to say that it’s quite a mix of nationalities and profiles. We had the chance to gather people from UK, France, Italy, Canada and even Austria, to name a few. Among them were gamers, active forums members, blog writers, editors and lucky sweepstakes winners.
The first time we met was the day before the event, where we all went to a restaurant together. The evening was really cool with tons of questions and discussion about the game, our schedule, but also gaming in general. However, their main request was “who is the mysterious key speaker we’ll meet during the event?” Well even though they tried hard to corrupt me, I remained silent!
On Friday morning, I walked to the hotel to meet our fans and video staff. Yes, we had cameras during the event, and I mean lots of them! You’ll see why later on.
So, we met in the Hotel lobby and then we took taxis to go to the Ubisoft Montreal studio. We started the day with a studio tour, which is always exciting for everyone. They loved our video studio, especially the audio recording department, where they got to play with swords! Then we showed them how we create all the cool assets and videos you guys see on Internet. We also had a surprise for them, our Dev Diary #6 was just finished the day before and they were treated to a world premiere in our studio! But that was only the beginning…
We then went down to the Assassin’s Creed 2 floor, where we had prepared a huge room full of HDTVs and consoles. After watching a couple of videos and trailers, we welcomed our main guest: Sébastien Puel, Producer for AC2!
He was kind enough to spend more than an hour answering a staggering number of questions (and that’s exactly where the cameras became important, we will update you on where to watch all those videos as soon as they appear online or on your favorite console’s online network). And then Sébastien took a couple of hours to do some one-on-one interviews with all the fans, with the help of Benoit Lambert, our Game Director, and Francois Roughol, one of our main Game Designers.
After this really interesting round of Q&A, we let our fans play the game for 3-5 hours depending on their schedules, and if you want to know what other gamers thinks of the game just click on the following links!
And here is a really fun podcast you should listen to.
More feedback and video will come soon and I’ll keep you updated!
Once again, I want to thank everyone for attending, it was a blast and we enjoyed welcoming you in Montreal!

Kristen Bell returns in Assassin’s Creed II
We are happy to announce that Hollywood actress Kristen Bell will reprise her role of Lucy Stillman in Assassin’s Creed II. Bell’s character will once again play a major role in the game’s intricate storyline.
“Being a part of the first Assassin’s Creed video game was an amazing experience. Video games is such a creative entertainment medium, and to be able to see and play myself as a video game character was surreal,” said Kristen Bell. “As an actress, it’s both challenging and rewarding to play a complex character with this great mysterious background. I’m very happy to be Lucy once more, and I look forward to fans discovering more about her - they will be pleasantly surprised.”
