Assassin’s Creed

Ubisoft have recently announced that its blockbuster title Assassins Creed will be coming to PC in March.

Following in the wake of the critically acclaimed and worldwide console hit Assassin’s Creed, the PC version entitled “Assassin’s Creed, Director’s cut edition” will feature four brand new exclusive types of investigations, thus providing even more ways for players to explore the various locations of the Third Crusade.

Players will assume the role of the main character, Altair, and will work to stop hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict and experience the art of a master assassin. With more than 5 million units of the console versions sold to date worldwide since its mid-November 2007 launch, Assassin’s Creed PC is set to expand upon this success.

“We are thrilled to bring Assassin’s Creed to an eager PC audience and we anticipate the game will resonate with them just has it has across the other platforms,” said John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director at Ubisoft. “Assassin’s Creed is a game that must be experienced firsthand to fully understand how dynamic and meaningful this title has become for video game fans worldwide.”

Assassin’s Creed for PC is rated “18+” by PEGI.

Ubisoft Montreals Assassins Creed has been receiving some more praise as of late for what it brings to the table. It has been named Number 9 in the Games Critics Awards and touted as easily one of the most unique gaming experiences of this, or any other year. Adam Sessler, Host/Managing Editor, of G4’s X-Play had the following to say about it.

Assassin’s Creed is easily one of the most unique gaming experiences of this, or any other year. The emphasis is on “experience’ as the awe-inspiring articulation of the Crusades-era Middle East manages to make mere travels through cities and the rural countryside pleasurable as you absorb the details that make this hyper reality sublime in it’s perfection. The gameplay itself, be it the preternatural climbing and running, or the brutally effective combat, are so deceptive in their initial simplicity that you are unprepared for how complex, strategic, and arrestingly visceral they will eventually become. The writing as well is mature in a way that has little precedence. A subtle and thoughtful storyline doesn’t fall prey to the sophomoric technique of upending all reality in a perfect 180 degrees but, instead slowly peels back motive to reveal a moral ambiguity free of nihilism yet more troubling in its sincerity. In the end, this is a game that has stayed with me well after completion and I know I will be returning to for many gaming generations to come.
