Assassin's Creed 2 PC Delayed to 2010

by Chris Faylor, Sep 24, 2009 7:28am PDT

Once slated to arrive alongside its PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 brethren on November 17, the PC release of Assassin's Creed II has now been pushed into early 2010.

"Assassin's Creed 2 PC has moved to the first quarter of 2010," Ubisoft revealed via Twitter. "A bit more time for the dev team to deliver the best quality game to you."

The first Assassin's Creed also saw a later PC release, accompanied by the "Director's Cut" moniker and some new missions. No word if AC2 PC will get similar treatment.

Too bad, I was going to buy the PC version, now I'll just rent and play it on the Xbox and call it a day.

So does this mean the PS3/360 versions won't be "the best quality"?

That "a bit more time for development" line is getting a bit hard to swallow when it's almost always just the PC version to be delayed.

I see these moves more and more about selling you the same title at least twice on different platforms. If you read the Sony Sega strategy you could see from whence this moneyhat thinking comes from.

Not that I was a fan of the first AC (mind numbingly repetitive as it was) but I'm just so sick of this shit.
More and more software houses are pushing back PC release dates, so far we have Dragon Age, Borderlands, this game, etc etc. It's getting fucking rediculous.

All so they can max sales for console kiddies.

The PC Owns. Realise it people. Get your shit together.

I'm ok with this happening just about every time, but I have to say it's nice seeing that Infinity Ward has their shit together when it comes to PC, and they've got arguably the most hyped game of the year on the way.
