Though it missed the mark of a simultaneous release, the PC version of Assassin’s Creed 2 has finally received an official release date, along with its system specs. The game will be coming on March 16, and will release in two versions: the standard version for $59.99, and a download-only “Black Edition” for $64.99. Both versions include the Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities add-ons that are coming to consoles for $4 and $5 respectively, but the Black Edition promises unspecified “additional content.”
Of course, PC stalwarts may complain that their versions of games tend to cost $50 instead of $60. For some, the $9 of included DLC might not justify an extra $10 for the game. But powerful PCs should be able to press the fidelity of Renaissance Italy; it’s much cheaper than a plane ticket to Europe, and the police there don’t even let you stab people. Check out the specs below.
