Kristen Bell Returns in Assassin’s Creed II

Posted in Video Games on October 1st, 2009 by admin

Anyone who played the first Assassin’s Creed should remember your buddy Lucy Stillman, played by Kristen Bell who you would speak with when not inside the Animus.  She is returning once again in Assassin’s Creed 2.  In the first game Lucy actually kind of looked like Kristen Bell but now looks a lot less similar to her in the sequel.. odd.  Assassin’s Creed 2 comes out November 17th on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.  The PC version will be released shortly after.
