Ubisoft has given some insight into just how popular the original Assassin’s Creed title fared with consumers following its launch in 2007.

Speaking with Joystiq at E3 last week, Patrice Désilets, producer of stealthy sequel Assassin’s Creed 2, said of the original game: “We sold some eight million copies of it, you know. Some people really enjoyed and loved the game.” You might say that. We certainly lapped it up.

Assassin’s Creed 2 is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 on November 17, 2009. This time around players control a young noble chap named Ezio Auditore di Firenze, with locations ranging from Venice, Florence, the Tuscan countryside and Rome.
