Rumor: Assassin's Creed's Ezio Joins Soulcalibur V Cast

Is Ezio Auditore matchless of the fighters in Soulcalibur V? Based on an image captured at a modern fighting mettlesome tournament, that seems to be the case.

Ezio Auditore is the main protagonist of Assassinator's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. He dresses like the Ku Klux Klan's idealized version of Batman and spends his days roaming the rooftops of Renaissance-era Italy, looking for the great unwashe to prod, surgery just as often, big things to leaping off of.

Soulcalibur V is the upcoming latest looping in Namco Bandai's most theatrical, around the bend fighting game series — which is a pretty impressive claim given that their other lifesize serial regularly features an alcoholic Mexican priest/professional wrestler who may or may yes beryllium more jaguar than man at this stage.

And straightaway, if an image sent to Joystiq is to be believed, the former is a part of the latter.

From the site's cover on the matter:

The picture … was provided to US by an anonymous tipster, which we're told comes from a beta version of the future Soulcalibur 5 appearing at late fighting game tournament. If this shot is real, Assassin's Creed protagonist Ezio Auditore de Firenze wish embody a playable character in Soul Calibur 5, set to launch next yr.

You can see the picture by visting Joystiq (professed courtesy prevents us from swiping the affair). In sum, it's an image of the game's character select screen with Ezio selected alongside Sophitia's daughter.

While I wish I had more solid info than the boys and girls at Joystiq, I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the character in Soulcalibur V. Relinquished the series' past cameos (Link, Spawn, Darth Vader, etcetera), this sure seems like something that could happen, and the character would fit as well as Yoda did, but until we see something from Namco Bandai, this remains a hearsay.

Oh, and for the record, if this is true, I'd like to show a bit of disappointment in Namco Bandai. I realize that the Assassin's Creed series is a big polish off among the unwashed masses, but there are far more viable cameo options out there.

Personally, I had my fingers crossed for Mega Man. Thanks to the upcoming Tough X Tekken Namco Bandai and Capcom are on pretty saving terms of late, and it's not like the Blue Bomber has anything other active on, right?
