Heroes Actress Signs For Assassins Creed News

Already one of the most anticipated titles of the year, Ubisoft has today confirmed that Kristen Bell will be making an appearance in Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed.

The actress, who has already appeared in Veronica Mars and is currently part of the second series cast of NBC smash hit Heroes, will play the part of a 'mysterious' character in the game.

"It was crucial to find an actress who could convey the emotional range and talent needed to play this key character in the Assassin's universe," said Jade Raymond, producer for Assassin's Creed. "Kristen Bell is a remarkable actress who was able to bring her character to life in a dynamic way that I don't think anyone else could have done properly. Her professionalism and dynamic personality were a perfect fit for this project."

"I was a big video gamer growing up, so working on Assassin's Creed is my chance to be a part of video game history," said Kristen Bell. "It's something completely different than what I've done before, so it's cool I get to branch out and try another entertainment medium. I was attracted to this project because of the intelligent storyline and the character I play. Plus I admire the artistry of the graphics of video games. I look forward to seeing what my character will look like and I can't wait to play the game and see if I can beat it!"

Assassin's Creed is due for release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 16th, with a PC edition arriving in early 2008.
