Assassin’s Creed 5 Unity Release Date: PC Version Available Oct. 28 [UPDATE] Ubisoft Makes Launch Announcement After Successful Trailer

Ubisoft has announced that it is confident the PC version of Assassin's Creed 5: Unity will have an October 28 release date along with its next-generation console versions.

"We're always aiming to ship all our games on all platforms at the same time," Producer Phord-Toy told Rock Paper Shotgun during an interview, Game Spot reports.

 "I don't have any specific news on the PC version of Assassin's Creed Unity, but I do know we're planning on shipping on all three [platforms]: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. I haven't heard any news differently than that."

Assassin's Creed 5: Unity "seems a lot more fleshed-out that other Assassin's Creed games," Trusted Reviews opines.

"Rather than having to exit the game and head to the map menu, Ubisoft has layered mission markers and other important information over your view of the city itself. How this will pan out in the final game isn't clear yet, but when you climb up high enough the game presents small indicators that show the way to reach various goals, including story missions and assassination contracts," the website writes.

"Of course, climbing up to the heights rooftops is synonymous with Assassin's Creed titles, as are those swan dives that you can perform to quickly descend. You'll be pleased to hear both of these are still there, but Ubisoft has revamped the control system to make free-running and climbing a lot more natural and intuitive."

Assassin's Creed 5: Unity developer Ubisoft showed gameplay trailer footage and make a release date announcement at the E3 2014 conference.

Assassin's Creed 5: Unity is expected to be released in the last quarter of FY2014, most likely around the last week of October. Gameplay images for the game leaked on March 19, demonstrating a new assassin in the city of Paris.

Ubisoft North American President Laurent Detoc said that his company is willing to delay the release date of Assassin's Creed 5: Unity, if the gameplay quality is jeopardized, Polygon reports.

"You bring something fresh, but you have to bring quality too," he said, according to the site.

A leaked gameplay trailer poster was spotted by Twitter user CriptAssassini showing Assassin's Creed 5: Unity's new protagonist as gamers await the game's release date.

The poster includes Chemical Revolution Business as one of the pre-order bonuses, Gaming Bolt reports.
