While the Assassin's Creed franchise has been a big hit for developer-publisher Ubisoft on the console front, the open world stealth action game series hasn't had much of an impact on the PC platform. The first two games in the series were released months after their console platform debuts and the same goes for the third game, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, which is already out for Xbox 360 and PS3 but isn't due out for the PC until sometime in the first quarter of 2011.

Yet, an Ubisoft rep insisted to Computer and Video Games that the PC is a big part of the game series. Ubisoft UK marketing boss Murray Pannell is quoted as saying, "Definitely, PC is still an important platform for the franchise." He added that details on what the PC port of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood will contain will be revealed "soon".

Ubisoft's latest financial report revealed some of the publisher's plans for their next fiscal year that begins on April 1. Some of the games have been mentioned before like the new Ghost Recon title and the new Prince of Persia game but the company also revealed its plan to release a new game in their hit Assassin's Creed series during that time frame.

Assassin's Creed 2 was released for the Xbox 360 and PS3 last November (the PC port is due later in 2010) and is expected to sell a total of 9 million copies by the end of March 2010. This new Assassin's Creed game doesn't have any platforms yet but Ubisoft did say the new game would be the first in the series that will have an online multiplayer gameplay mode.
