Assassin’s Creed PC Has Shipped

North American Assassin’s Creed fans rejoice! The Assassin’s Creed Director’s Cut has shipped! The game is priced at $49.99. Assassin’s Creed Director’s Cut features four new types of investigations over the console versions released towards the end of last year. Here’s what GameZone.com had to say about the special Director’s Cut features:

Being a Director’s Cut, the PC version adds some new features not found in the console versions by way of four different side-quests. They are pretty varied and stand up well when compared to the missions that you do in the regular game. You’ll perform stealth archer assassinations, where you’ll have to go through rooftops killing archers without alerting others, rooftop races, merchant stand destruction missions where you’ll have throw enemies at targeted merchant stands, and escort missions where you have to keep an NPC alive while enemies attack. These extra missions are pretty fun and do a good job of switching up the main game quite a bit and adding some variety.

If you thought the game was visually stunning on the PS3 or Xbox 360, wait till you see it on a full-load PC. If you have an up to date graphics card, this game will be spectacular and fly. I’m not sure if I’ll be picking this game up for the PC for a second leap of faith, but I am certain jealous of those of you who waited for it.
