In a statement, Ubisoft said, "[The launch of GRAW 2] will take the place of Assassin's Creed and Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway, which will now strengthen fiscal year 2007-08," which runs from April 2007 through March 2008.

That info implies that the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed was planned for an early 2007 release, even though it was always tagged with a "TBA" release date. Hell's Highway was expected to be released in the first quarter of 2007. Both games are in development for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

"While the PlayStation 3 and 360 versions of Assassin's Creed are virtually identical, Raymond did say that on the 360 the team is putting a special emphasis on Achievements. And while the 360 hardware enables Ubisoft's team to use multiple threads to enhance the crowd's AI, the end result for the game on both systems will be the same. "While the method for distributing AI load is different on each platform, the AI code itself is the same. Players will experience the exact same crowd results on PS3 and Xbox360," Ubisoft explained."

Assassin's Creed will launch simultaneously on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 early next year, despite common belief that the medieval murder game would be exclusive to PS3, at least for a short period of time. And, with the game being confirmed for PC yesterday it looks like the PS3-fanboy party over 'owning' Assassin's Creed is well and truly over. Set - at least primarily - in Damascus and the Middle East in 1191 AD, Assassin's Creed tells a story of the first assassins, agents of death who ... » Read More

August 30, 2006 - When Ubisoft unveiled Assassin's Creed at E3 earlier this year, it was touted as a PlayStation 3 exclusive. And ever since then rumors have been flying around hinting that the game's "exclusivity" may be more temporary than Ubisoft initially let on. Whispers of an Xbox 360 port are nothing new, but yesterday came reports of a PC version as well.

The Scimitar Engine, the one powering Ubisoft's beautiful Assassin's Creed, is going to be put to work on more games from the French company. Claude Langlais, technical director on Assassin's Creed (and the chap who dropped the Assassin's Creed demo tidbit to us), told 1UP that the engine powering Assassin's Creed -- the Scimitar Engine -- wasn't just going to be used for the Holy War killing game.

Developers from Ubisoft Montreal working on Assassin's Creed wouldn't confirm the existence of an Xbox 360 version of the game (they did, however, emphatically deny reports that engineers from Microsoft were embedded at Ubisoft Montreal working on the game's development), but they did confirm that before Assassin's Creed ships in March of 2007, Ubisoft Montreal intends on releasing a demo of the game.

Wednesday 23 August 2006 The latest images from PS3's brutal, sun-bleached medieval stealth action title show off its novel take on stealth - emphasising blending into the crowd rather than hugging walls and slinking in shadows. Although leaping from rooftop to rooftop and skewering unfortunate Crusaders in sudden sword-fights works too. This is, after all, from Ubisoft, the creator of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. See the images tab above for more energetic shenanigans. While moving ... » Read More

These latest shots of the Jerusalem-set Assassin's Creed give the first glimpse of the game's medieval fighting action, with hero Altair taking on three armored guards in a swordfight. Fortunately, with the game's pioneering control method, you'll be able to cut your way through enemies like a hot poker through cooking fat. Tap the Images tab for more shots. Assassin's Creed's combat works by giving Altair's limbs a separate button, similar to Tekken's set-up where you have different buttons ... » Read More

Tuesday 4 July 2006 Ubisoft's next-gen action game Assassin's Creed may well be in development for PC and Xbox 360, as well as PlayStation 3, if mounting speculation is anything to go by. Many believed Assassin's Creed to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, primarily because the Sony console is the only format Ubisoft has confirmed for the game, but the publisher/developer has never actually described it as a PS3 exclusive. It wouldn't come as any surprise if Assassin's Creed did emerge as a ... » Read More

The US Official PlayStation Magazine has published a few new snippets of info that should be of interest. Firstly, the mag noted that the game will be released in Europe early in 2007 on the PlayStation 3 (although rumour has it that the game will also arrive on Xbox 360 at some point).
