After two months of the game’s availability on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Ubisoft has dated the PC version of Assassin’s Creed II for March 5 in Europe and March 16 in North America.
Like the original before, it will be labeled as a “Director’s Cut”, packaging the full game and its two DLC episodes coming to the consoles, The Battle of Flori and Bonfire of the Vanities, for $59.99. In addition to the standard edition, a “Black Edition” for the PC will also be released by the developer for $64.99, with added extras that aren’t specified.
Ubisoft has also posted the system requirements for the Renaissance-based action-adventure game.
