Assassins's Creed 2 PC gets March 16 release date; system specs revealed

Last fall, Ubisoft announced it was delaying the release of its open world action game Assassin's Creed 2 for the PC until the first quarter of 2010. Today Ubisoft sent word via an email press release that the PC version will ship on March 16. The PC port will contain the entire Asssassin's Creed 2 game plus the content that will be found in two console DLC additions, Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities. That version will ship to stores and also via download for (glup) $59.99. (Oh, Modern Warfare 2 . . . thanks for that).

In addition there will be a digital download-only version of Assassin's Creed 2 PC called the Black Edition. It will be priced at $64.99 and will have "additional content" besides that of the regular version. There's no word yet on what that content will be like. Ubisoft also revealed the PC version's system requirements which you can check out after the jump:

WOW.

I expected this from Activision, but UbiSoft.. wtf? The game is a few months late being ported to the PC, and yet they still screw the PC crowd over.Posted at 2:11PM on Jan 25th 2010 by that guy rom

WTF man $60. This is BS, I wont be buying this anyway, since my friend let me borrow his 360 copy. Posted at 3:05PM on Jan 25th 2010 by Cheesus Crust (Steam=AliShaikh94)(XBL=AliShaikh)(PSN=Cheesus00Crust)

$60 is far too expensive. Seriously they shouldn't be trying to force the console pricing model into the PC game market place.Posted at 5:42PM on Jan 25th 2010 by puffin

At least the requirements aren't too bad. My PC is a year old, wasn't top of the line to begin with, and meets or exceeds all the recommended specs.Posted at 7:07PM on Jan 25th 2010 by Covarr
