a new product to add to the Assassin's Creed Empire

Later this month play.tm reports that the makers of the smash-hit game Assassin's Creed will be releasing a novel based on the game. The novel is titled "Assassin's Creed: Renaissance" and written by Oliver Bowden and said to be released November 26th. It is said that the novel is written to be an expansion of Ezio's tale. Alex Clarke (penguin editorial director) says that this novel is a good cross-over with the ever growing and increasingly exciting world of gaming media. I believe this is a good way for the game to be reaching out to a broader audience and will help increase the already very popular fan base. Some fans of the game disagree though.
One commented on the article saying quote, "This is getting silly now, I want to be able to experience the whole universe of Assassin's Creed 2 through the game, I don't want to have to read books, comics and watch Youtube serializations to experience the whole story... I sincerely hope this is just a retelling of the game and not some extra stuff we'll miss out on for not reading it."
