When a pre-order page for II showed up on Play.com, many assumed that the version would follow in the footsteps of the first portable Assassin's Creed; arriving a couple of months after the game's console debut.

However, despite this sighting, a representative has denied that number two will soon be heading to the DS - stating that the page is probably a mistake.

"We have no information on that. That's an error on Play.com. That will be coming down," offered a spokesperson speaking this week.

Of course, given the previous strategy, we still wouldn't bet against an Assassin's Creed II release on Nintendo's handheld - although it seems we won't be hearing much yet.
