How awesome is this?! Assassin’s Creed 2 just set a new Guiness World Record. According to Ubisoft and Guinness, from April 2009 to April 2010, Assassin’s Creed II was featured as the lead cover story on 127 different publications in 32 countries, making it the most cover-featured videogame ever. AC2 has been on the front page of countless video game magazines across the globe and featured in hundreds of articles, press releases and web site reviews.

Editor of Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition, Gaz Deaves said of the achievement:

“The evidence submitted by Ubisoft was extremely thorough, with full details of every publication that featured the game. It’s been a pleasure researching this category and we were pleasantly surprised that Assassin’s Creed II took the record – I’m sure plenty of commentators (including myself) would have predicted another well-known game winning the title instead, and this achievement is even more impressive in view of the other 2009 releases that Assassin’s Creed II was able to beat.”

Congratulations!
