The title will be exclusive to the PSP system, and is being developed by Ubisoft, who were responsible for the first console game. A handheld spinoff was released on the Nintendo DS in 2008, but it did not live up to the original in terms of sales.

In an official press release the company stated, “Assassins Creed PSP Entertainment Pack Ubisoft will debut an exclusive installment of the popular Assassins Creed franchise on PSP later this year. To commemorate this highly anticipated title, SCEA will launch a new bundle that includes the game, a Piano Black PSP, and other content that will be announced later.”

Wow, we have to say that this comes as a complete and total surprise. However, Assassin’s Creed was one of our favorite games from the consoles last year, so we are excited to see how this handheld version takes shape.
