It isn't within the realms of impossibility that that Ubisoft's PS3 title Assassin's Creed will additionally appear on Xbox 360 and PC, says a slice of gossip knocking around the internet, with at least one report even claiming that it's received confirmation on a 360 iteration straight from the horse's mouth.
Well, yep, we wouldn't exactly be blown backwards off our office chairs in surprise if Ubisoft announced a 360 version of the title - we might wobble a bit if a PC version is confirmed - but, to date, the publisher is keeping lips pretty much sealed on anything beyond PS3 for Assassin's Creed. During conversation earlier with Ubisoft about the possibility of the game appearing on other platforms, a spokesperson told us, "Assassin's Creed is confirmed for PS3 and other formats haven't been confirmed as yet." Make of that what you will.
Assassin's Creed is set in 1191 AD during the time of the Third Crusade and the war in the Holy Land. According to the plot, ruthless assassins intend to halt hostilities via suppression of the powers battling in the conflict. You play a character called Altair and wield the power to "throw their immediate environment into chaos and to shape events during this pivotal moment in history".
