Boy, that Ubisoft sure can be stubborn! For those owning either the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, or both (in which case, I must come to your house and claim thy riches) – you may well be aware that some of Ubi-baby’s published goods haven’t set a single foot on these platforms in any retail store in India. Any specific reason? When I last spoke with Mohit Anand, he told me the problem was Ubisoft. Oh snaps, you just know there’s some mama-drama going on behind the scenes when you get a reply like that!

But just today, Tech2’s Avinash Bali reports that we shouldn’t get our a panties in a bunch over it. It looks like e-Xpress Interactive will be distributing Assassin’s Creed (you know, the game that can’t have a downloadable demo because it’s too sandy) on all platforms, including the PC version as well. No comment on the pricing for the console ones, but you can expect the PC version to retail for about Rs. 1299. Expect it to arrive sometime in December, and with any luck, maybe see a few more titles down the road that become officially released.

Speaking of which, the game has already gone gold and will be releasing on November 16th in all of Europa . Hit the jump for the full press release.

Update: It seems the PC version has been delayed to Early 2008, which means mostly likely e-Xpress Interactive will just have the console versions ready for us. We’ll keep you posted! Thanks to Thunderbird for the correction.
