Ubisoft has announced the release date for their upcoming Assassin’s Creed II downloadable content, the “Battle of Forli.” From Ubisoft’s Twitter account.

Also anticipated in February 2010 is the “Bonfire of the Vanities” DLC. I have to say it’s nice to see them trying to keep this game in your inventory, unfortunately I traded mine in weeks ago.

Developers are lining up around the block to take a crack at the new control methods including Ubisoft. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in an earnings call :

the company would have, barring possible changes in timing, 10 games available for Natal within the first six months of its release. He also said that they’d have 4-5 games for Sony’s motion controller.

I’m excited for Natal and intrigued to see how it’s going to play out with gaming. With the right price and proper use for games, I would buy it.

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed II has sold 1.6 million copies in its first week of release worldwide.

This number is not surprising due to the critical reception and internet buzz surrounding the November 17th release. If you compare these numbers to the previous Assassin’s Creed game release, Assassin’s Creed II is up 32% in sales.

I played it and finished it and I will be eagerly awaiting the third installment, even though nothing has been said yet.
