Assassin's Creed: Revelations delayed for PC - Report

News of a PC postponement for Ezio's latest excursion said to surface briefly on Ubisoft's Czech Facebook page; GameStop also lists later launch.



Pushing back the PC release for multiplatform games is becoming Ubisoft's standard operating procedure. The PC versions of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Tom Clancy's HAWX 2, Driver: San Francisco, and Call of Juarez: The Cartel all trailed their console counterparts, and the publisher might be adding one more to that list.
According to a Eurogamer report, Ubisoft's official Czech Facebook page was updated with news that the PC edition of Assassin's Creed: Revelations would hit stores on December 2, a couple of weeks after the console versions' November 15 debut. The update was apparently pulled, as the link provided by Eurogamer to the Facebook update regarding the delay points instead to a notice that the content in question is unavailable.
Specialty retailer GameStop also apparently believes the game will be pushed back, as it lists the physical and digital release dates for the PC edition of Revelations as November 29. As of press time, a Ubisoft representative had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment.
Revelations will follow the story of Ezio, who was first introduced in Assassin's Creed II. This time out, Ezio will seek out the haunts of original Assassin's Creed protagonist Altair, visiting such Middle East strongholds as the Ottoman Empire's Constantinople. There, Ezio will once again take up arms against the Templar order.
