Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood goes gold

29 October 2010

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 has gone “gold,” meaning that the game is being pressed and will meet its European release date of 19 November 2010.

Although this date is yet to be officially confirmed for South Africa, it’s a safe bet to assume our retail shelves will be packing the game on 19 November, as SA typically follows the European release dates.

The following information according to the Ubisoft press release:

The critically acclaimed single-player experience of Assassin’s Creed is back and better than ever as Ezio returns for an epic struggle against the powerful Templar Order. Offering more single-player gameplay than Assassin’s Creed II, players now play as a legendary Master Assassin, and journey into Italy’s greatest city, Rome, center of power, greed and corruption to strike at the heart of the enemy.

For the first time in the franchise’s history, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood offers  never-before-seen multiplayer, awarded “Best Multiplayer Game,” by the prestigious Game Critics organization at e3 2010.

Players will have the opportunity to experience things from the Templar’s perspective when they step into the shoes of an elite Abstergo agent, hand-picked to undergo training in order to better fight the Assassins.

Players can choose from a wide range of unique characters, each with their own signature weapons and assassination techniques, and match their skills against other players from all over the world in different game modes.

The multiplayer suite coupled with an extensive single-player campaign makes Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood not only the best Assassin’s experience to date, but the best value as well.

“Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood is the largest and most ambitious title we have ever created,” said Sebastien Puel, executive producer at Ubisoft Montreal. “Not only will players get a fully robust and upgraded single-player game that is larger than Assassin’s Creed II, but an award winning multiplayer component as well.  Brotherhood is the biggest Assassin’s experience we have ever created.”
