Assassin’s Creed going multiplatform?
Before E3, a leaked release schedule listed “Assassin” as a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PSP title! A Gamespot list of Ubisoft’s E3 titles also listed Assassin’s Creed as being available on both 360 and PS3. Luke Smith at 1UP writes, “Assassin’s Creed is coming to the Xbox 360. It’s one of those secrets no one is supposed to know about (like Halo: Forerunners) yet everyone does. Sources close to Ubisoft have informed us that the game will definitely see release on Microsoft’s platform, even though the company still refuses to admit the game’s inevitable multiplatform fate.”
So why the secrecy? Considering their comments: “Assassin’s Creed is coming to the PS3. No other announcements have been made.” and Ubisoft’s history as a multiplatform publisher, the reasons could be 1 of these 3:
* Timed exclusivity for just six months;
* Exclusive rights to keep it PS3-only;
* It’s always been multiplatform, but games thought to be exclusive always get more media attention. Via Joystiq
