Nintendo DS,

Java ME and
Windows Phone. It is a
prequel to the 2007 video game
Assassin's Creed, developed by
Gameloft and published by
Ubisoft. It was released in the United States on February 5, 2008. It features two new cities,
Tyre and
Aleppo; and the three original cities,
Jerusalem,
Acre, and
Damascus; but does not include
