Since its multiple-platform unveiling at E3, which was then reversed by a PS3-only announcement, rumors have been rampant about which platforms Assassin's Creed will actually appear on. A four-page article in PC Gamer UK is the first proof that Ubisoft is not only working on Assassin's Creed for PS3, but also for PC. While an official announcement has not been made, Ubisoft officials did confirm that a PC version is indeed in the works and is tentatively scheduled for 2007. Now that the PC edition has been disclosed, an Xbox 360 port is still possible, considering the similarities between the two platforms.

At last week's E3 Ubisoft introduced its newest, PS3-exclusive, action game, Assassin's Creed. Oddly enough, during the demo we noticed the game was being shown using an X360 controller, which would indicated the existence of either an Xbox 360 edition, or PC version, or both. This also seems to get extra credibility by a slip of the tongue from
a Ubisoft employee, who inadvertently said it is currently also being developed for Microsoft's next-gen console.

Ubisoft announced the development of a new PS3 exclusive video game franchise: Assassin's Creed, combining compelling new gameplay, superb graphics, and an immersive and sophisticated storyline to deliver an epic experience that will launch the action genre into the next generation and beyond.
Assassin’s Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, Assassin’s Creed merges technology, game design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change.
The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict.

The Prettiest, Noblest Assassin
If you set aside all things Nintendo in their own special, line-hundreds-deep category, the non-Wii-related star of E3 2006 belonged to Ubisoft. The Assassin's Creed demo chamber barely contained the frenzy of last-minute glimpse-seekers during the waning hours of the show. As if the situation weren't dire enough already, Steven Spielberg and a small entourage arrived just in time to commandeer the room for 30 precious minutes while all of us who didn't direct "Munich" hassled the PR people for a good position
