Ubisoft has announced that it won’t be implementing its super annoying always-online DRM with Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.
This means that you will not have to be online to play the game, yay!
You will however have to be online the very first time you want to play the game in order for it to be activated, which is reasonable and pretty standard these days.
Ubisoft has developed a reputation of late for forcing PC gamers to maintain an internet connection at all times in order to play their games via its always-on DRM. Driver: San Francisco was the last of its titles to come under fire, ultimately resulting in Ubisoft patching out the restrictive DRM.
Ubisoft Reflections founder Martin Edmonson told Eurogamer that developers have every right to use DRM to protect their games from piracy. “You have to do something,” said Edmonson, elaborating: “It’s just, simply, PC piracy is at the most incredible rates. This game cost a huge amount of money to develop, and it has to be, quite rightly – quite morally correctly – protected.”
