If you are excited about Assassin’s Creed III’s release next week then you are just one of apparently a record number of people. Today Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed III has doubled the pre-order numbers of last year’s Asassin’s Creed, AC: Revelations, which previously held the record.
Tony Bartel, president of GameStop, stated that “Pre-orders for Assassin’s Creed III at GameStop are nearly 100% higher than last year, putting the game on track to be one of the top titles of 2012.” For those who haven’t been paying attention over the last few months, Assassin’s Creed III follows the story of the assassin named Connor and takes part during and around the American Revolution.
It is worth noting that while the PS3 and 360 versions of the game will be available for purchase next week, the PC version of the game will be released on November 18th while the Wii U version will arrive on November 20th.
