As we predicted last month, a "secret project" that was related to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed game series has now been officially revealed as a comic book project set for release sometime this fall. The series will be created by comic book veterans Cameron Stewart and Karl Kerschl.

What's more interesting is the setting for the comic book series. The press release and the symbol you see to the right would seem to indicate that the comic book takes place in Russia, perhaps during the Soviet Union time period. Indeed Stewart and Kerschl did a research trip to Saint Petersburg, Russia for the project. More info about the comic will be revealed during the Assassins Creed Brotherhood panel next Thursday at the San Diego Comic-Con.
