Borderlands and Assassin's Creed 2 to be delayed for PC

Keen PC gamers are going to have to wait a little bit, and lot, longer.

Bad news for PC gamers. Two cross-platform big guns are going to be late to the PC, once again showcasing the fraught business of developing in a multi-platform environment.

We found it yesterday that Borderlands will drop on PC a week after it hits consoles. Last minute polishing and optimising is taking a little longer than expected.

And it's that optimising that looks to be taking much longer than expected with Assassin's Creed 2, which we've found out today - via the evil that is Twitter - is going to slip to the first quarter of next year. Ubisoft made very big noises about how hard it was working to bring a quality PC game to market - and at the same time - so we can only assume that the issues must be worth the slipped date.

Poo.

Both games are still on track for their console release dates.

nesquick Sep 25, 2009 1:29 PM	So is AC2 going be an obvious console port like AC1 or will it play like a PC game.
TheFrunj Sep 25, 2009 2:00 PM	Malkieri, it won't affect our comp since we've got prerelease code: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Gallery/156533,atomics-power-to-the-pc-sydney-tour.aspx/57 This is just for retail, which means if you want to buy it it's going to be a little wait. -JR
Hawkeye Sep 25, 2009 2:04 PM	No, not at all - we already have code for that. The same code that was at Power to the PC.
Pari Sep 25, 2009 2:32 PM	eh 1 week is not much to wait for borderlands as for AC2 I was going to get it on ps3 anyway
Malkieri Sep 25, 2009 2:54 PM	Ahhh, thought it was going to be release code. Not that I would care either way :P finger crossed
TheFrunj Sep 25, 2009 2:58 PM	How did you cross a single finger?!? D:
Malkieri Sep 25, 2009 3:22 PM	I broke it in anticipation.....
Level2 Sep 25, 2009 3:22 PM	try breaking it!
Hoonbernator Sep 25, 2009 4:56 PM	I suppose that's better than Blizzard's "when it's done" crap. Gha! Just give us a ball park please!
RaRaDawg Sep 25, 2009 5:36 PM	When I saw the title, I was like 'GHEY', but I have exams coming along.
