Original: A list of supposed details from Assassin's Creed 2 has popped up at ScrewAttack.

Alongside the rumored information, the site posted a render of new main character Ezio, which apparently leaked on the Ubisoft Forums. In addition, the details seem to match up with the teases Game Informer posted after ScrewAttack's report surfaced.

The rumors seem to have originated from a removed post on the Ubisoft Forums, which cited the latest Game Informer issue, as archived by N4G and GameFAQs.

Thus far, all publisher Ubisoft has offered in the way of official word is a release window for the open-world action game--no later than March 31, 2010--and a teaser site.

Remember, the following is still unverified, so keep that in mind as you peruse:
