It's official, Assassin's Creed II has won a Guinness World Record. The Ubisoft title now holds the "Gamer's Edition" Guinness World Record for being the most cover-featured video game, ever.
Assassin's Creed II has appeared on 127 different publications in 32 countries between April 2009 and April 2010. Ubisoft is, of course, ecstatic about this news.
The record will appear in the next release of the Gamer's Edition of Guinness World Records, due out later this year.

"Assassin's Creed is one of our most well-loved brands," said Alain Corre, managing director EMEA at Ubisoft. "The worldwide interest for the brand, coupled with the energy and creativity of our press team made for a winning combination and Ubisoft is proud to receive this Guinness World Record."
Gaz Deaves, Editor of Guinness World Records Gamer's, said: "The evidence submitted by Ubisoft was extremely thorough, with full details of every publication that featured the game. It's been a pleasure researching this category and we were pleasantly surprised that Assassin's Creed II took the record - I'm sure plenty of commentators (including myself) would have predicted another well-known game winning the title instead, and this achievement is even more impressive in view of the other 2009 releases that Assassin's Creed II was able to beat."
