Assassin's Creed delayed

360 News | Now coming on the 21st.
The release date for Assassin's Creed has been up for debate for some time. First it was scheduled for release on the 15th of November, then it was delayed for one more day to the 16th.

Unfortunately the release of the game has slipped again, with Ubisoft confirming to PALGN today that the game is now set for release on the 21st of November. Looks like we'll have to endure another weekend without Altair.

This release date only affects Australian and New Zealand readers. The following statement has been offered by a Ubisoft spokesperson to retailers.

"Due to manufacturing and freight difficulties during this time of year, Ubisoft Australia & New Zealand were unable to receive their full allocation of Assassin's Creed stock required to fulfill all Day One orders.

"In an effort to treat all retailers and consumers fairly, Ubisoft will wait until the balance of stock is received in our warehouse before we ship the game. The new street date for Assassin's Creed on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will be Wednesday 21st November. Please ensure that your stores are aware of this development so they can correctly answer any customer enquiries they may receive."

"Ubisoft sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this delay has caused to your staff and customers."

Opposite for me. I was lookin forward to the 16th coz not only is it my bday but it would give me time to play it for a while before Mass Effect came out. Now Mass Effect will have to wait.
The ONLY upside of this is I guess I'll be able to play Ratchet and Clank for more than one day.

Anger doesn't even come close to describing what I'm feeling right now. Aussies and Kiwis are CONSTANTLY being shat on and I'm getting ready to snap.

Oh shiznatch, forgot about Mass Effect... crap, crap, crap! I was writing this off as a positive, giving me more time to play Crysis without interruptions, but it just means that the end of the month will be an even more insane orgy of games. Galaxy, Mass Effect, and AC all around the same time!

Maybe they'll make it up to us by giving us the real Collector's Edition.

Well, I can always dream...

We actually also get, err, anti-delays - a bunch of games have come out a few days early in Australia recently. I can't remember which, but that just goes to show how insignificant delays or anti-delays are in the grand scheme of things.

Awesome. I get to buy all my games in one trip and give my Xbox time to come back from being repaired. This is like the best news today.

Kristen Bell is hot! I bet she appreciates the flawless skin she now has, thanks to the game. I'm not sure which I actually prefer to be honest, I'm leaning towards Real Bell though. Can we have a poll for this?

Real Bell?
or
CGI Bell?

I'm probably the only person in the world at the moment who is relieved by this.

Why?

Now I can finish exams in peace icon_smile.gif

I'm not really bothered as I have many new unplayed games at home as it is.

But this game will remained unused when Mass Effect comes the day after anyway.

Damn, will have to pick Metroid up on Thursday then. And with my car getting fixed next week, won't be able to afford another game. Christmas holidays soon though. That'll give me time to get through some games.

Real Bell, CGI Bell has horrible dead corpse eyes.

I'm importing the American Collector's Edition, and the site I got it from told me it would be delivered by November 21 at the latest, so I don't mind this at all.

Same for me, I've got so many assignments to finish at the moment and the thing that makes it good for me is that my birthday is on the 22nd so it means I have a better chance of getting the game If I buy it then when I have birthday money.

Sucks for everyone who was planning to get it on the release date though icon_sad.gif

OMG BOYCOTT IT GUYZ!!!

Ah well, only a 1 week delay, at least there's plenty else out and coming out at the moment. Should be good fun once it does hit our shores, looking forward to it.
