The awesome free roaming fun of the world of Altair is coming to an iPhone near you. The Assassin's Creed title has been revealed to be in production for the Apple handheld device.

Admittedly, the cut-scenes were mega-tedious in the console versions of Assassin's Creed, but otherwise this was a damnably spiffing game packed with tension, spills and thrills.

So we're very excited to hear that a one off iPhone special of Japan's premier gaming magazine, Famitsu, has uncovered details of Assassin's Creed leaping its way onto Apple's handheld platform.

By all accounts we can expect very similar free-running gameplay across the ancient cities. The iPhone Assassin's Creed conversion will be brought to us by Gameloft, which recently announced its working on the Terminator Salvation adaptation, so it's set to be a big iPhoning year for the French developer.
