If you've been waiting for Assassin's Creed II on the PC, be prepared to pay a premium. The PC version of the game that came out over two months ago now will be priced at $60 (USD) for the regular edition of the game. For $5 (USD) more there is the Black Edition of the game which will include bonus materials.
Also of note is the fact that the system requirements for the game have been officially released. Don't forget that Assassin's Creed II on the PC will include support for DirectX 11.
The recommended specs can be found after the break.<!--more-->
It's one thing that Activision did the $60 price point with Modern Warfare 2 on the PC. It was an extremely anticipated title that launched simultaneously across all three platforms. Assassin's Creed II, while still quite anticipated, may not have the appeal that a title such as MW2 does. It also doesn't help that the game released on consoles over two months ago now.
