Video game publisher has put out the launch trailer for Assassin's Creed: Embers, the UbiWorkshop made animated short linked to its well known open world action game.

The full movie will be included in the Signature and the Collector's Edition package for Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which is set to be launched during this week.

Ubisoft says that players should first play through Revelations, taking care to note everything that happens to main character Ezio, and only then watch Embers, which will be epilogue to his story and contains some startling revelations.

It's also very possible that the events in the animated short will serve as a form of tie-in with the story that will be told in the next game in the series, which will be launched during 2012 and will focus on Desmond and his modern day adventures.

Revelations takes the player to Constantinople and will mix adventures from Altair and Ezio.
