In 2007 a lot of people wondered why Ubisoft would not release a demo for their new stealth action game Assassin's Creed. After all, no one knew if this new game franchise would work. In the end, it lack of a demo didn't seem to affect sales as the original Assassin's Creed sold millions of copies worldwide.

So it's not a shock to hear that the upcoming sequel, Assassin's Creed 2, won't get a demo either. Connected Consoles reports that an Ubisoft representative confirmed that fact during this weekend's Eurogamer Expo. It seems more and more high profile games are doing away with demo releases, at least before the game is released.
