This is a huge list which compiles everything we know so far about Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I took this almost directly from a post on the official Ubi forums. There's a lot of information you probably already know, but it has a lot of interesting tidbits that I wasn't aware of.
For easier skimming, I underlined the parts that I hadn't heard before (but you might not have, so if you have time to kill, read the whole thing )

[spoiler]Story (Obviously AC2 spoilers will reside here.)
When Brotherhood was first announced, a lot of gamers assumed that the continuing adventures of Ezio would amount to little more than an add-on to the existing game. That might have been fine, but Ubisoft has far bigger ambitions in mind for this latest installment. The company took the opportunity at E3 to show off the many ways that the new Assassin's title will stand out from its predecessors.

After watching the trailer in that topic, a thought occurred to me. Would the Assassins be more predisposed to Communism over Capitalism, after all there experiences with the Piece of Eden, they might find the idea of exploiting the weak and using influence for people's personal greed abhorrent? They might find the idea of Marxism more palatable, that way (in theory), no one person will be controlling the population?
Remember the ubiworkshop.com website? The one with the Chinese and Egyptian Assassins? It seems they're making a comic book series, as well.

And, if you watch the teaser trailer, it seems that the comic book's about the Tunguska explosion -

I like the Art Deco Assassin symbol.

Thought you'd wanna know.
Not sure if anybody has seen this yet (you probably have) but I'm wondering if anybody will be getting this version? It looks pretty cool but not worth £70 to me. I also don't know if its available in America...?
It also mentions the BETA. I believe pre-ordering any PS3 version of Brotherhood enables BETA Access but I may be wrong. Just interested to see what others think on this version which includes quite abit but still seems expensive
Oh and here's the link at Play.com (only place I've seen it available):
Guys, i have 3 Questions.
1st : Im from Brazil, so if i pre-order at, amazon, gamestop or another site like that, they bring the game here? i mean, they bring the game to another country?
2nd : If i can pre-order the game, i will be able to play the BETA multiplayer right? Even if i Pre-Order it from a diferent country?
3rd : The BETA is already opened?
Plz i really need these answers.
It might be a good idea to add each other.
PSN Name is Gigawbo
0:13: The date is 1503, Rome, also the date of Pope Alexander VI's death of an unknown disease.
0:33 - 0:40: Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander is still alive, and keeps company with Cesare Borgia, his son.
0:44 - 0:52: Ezio is wearing his classic "Assassin White" outfit; Altair's Armor is nowhere to be seen.
0:53 - 1:00: Return of Archers... with rifles?!
1:00 - 1:03: Unknown figure kills archer. First sign of additional aid to Ezio.
1:04 - 1:08: Return of Brute. Both are killed by arrows from afar, most likely the archer's killer.
Finally found a video. Lets discuss.
