Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood PC delayed until 2011, Euro beta on Oct. 4

by Alexander Sliwinski on Sep 9th 2010 11:25AM

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for PC is tapping the snooze button until Q1 2011. Ubisoft made the announcement this morning, along with confirmation of an October 4 start date for the European multiplayer beta on PS3 -- the North American beta begins on September 13.

PC Assassins are probably noticing an emerging conspiracy (by the Templars, perhaps?). The series never seems to make it out on the same day as consoles. Both Assassin's Creed and its sequel came out on PC a few months after their console counterparts -- with some extra DRM drama tossed in for good measure. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is still expected for Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 16 and 18 in North America and Europe, respectively.

It's almost standard practice for every single AAA pc game to get delayed these days.

Meh, you'd be a fool to buy this on PC anyway. And I agree with Faceless Troll...

@DeeZeee Not that there's anything wrong with PC gaming, no that's not it. It's Ubisoft's DRM, ugh!

@DeeZeee

I was about to say that.

@DeeZeee I'd still want to buy it on the PC to play at higher settings, since I have a PC that can handle it. My 360 can continue to collect dust.

The 4th of October? That's quite a wait. That's not a slap in the face to European players who have pre-ordered the game, but a stapler to the nuts.

I don't own a PS3 anyway, but still. Release games, or betas worldwide on one day damn it.

Nonissue for me. Ubisoft has already made it clear that they don't want me buying their games.

@acceptablerisk

Same here for me...

It's worth the wait for 1080p resolution with the graphics settings turned up to 11.

@Assmar 1200P for me! : D

But yes, I'd rather want to play it on the PC, always with all multiplat games and why I want as many games to come to the PC as possible.

come on guys!! we need to understand ubi soft, they need more time to add all those DRM triggers, too bad this means they won´t have any time left to fix bugs or polish the game or optimize it to run faster, but hey!!! it´s not easy to add 3,000 triggers to a game so the crack groups can have fun for 3 days.....

Local Gamestop here has NO IDEA what the heck I was talking about being eligible for the Beta.

I play 360, which is good I guess cause I really want to try this game.

No surprise here, both AC I and II PC were released months after the console versions (and included the DLC that came out in between the wait).

I really don't think it's a technical delay, it's the same engine as AC II right? The only possibility I can think of is that they don't want PC pirated copies to cannibalize console sales. Let's hope this delay is because they realized the crappy ACII DRM failed and they will be dropping it on this one.

@SH007 How stupid for them to delay PC versions to stop hurting sales of console versions. They will sell well regardless. Come on now!

Wow Ubisoft, just waste more time on RDM, its obvious that it will get cracked again. So why waste a year improving it.

I was going to buy this game, just like I faithfully bought the last 2 ones, but, uh, I'm sick of this shit, Already got bent over with mw2, I'm not paying for Brother hood, but I will be playing it.
