As was the case with Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will arrive on the PC several months after its console counterparts. Ubisoft has announced that the game is set to ship for Windows systems on March 22, roughly four months after it debuted to rapt reviews on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The system requirements for the PC version can be found below.

　　"No, you won't always have to be online to play Brotherhood."

　　One thing Brotherhood won't have is Assassin's Creed II's controversial digital rights management system, which required a constant online connection to play until earlier this year. "Ubisoft confirms that the PC version of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, after an initial login, will be playable offline in single-player mode," the company said in a statement provided to GameSpot.

　　Assassin's Creed II brought Ubisoft's signature action adventure series to Renaissance-era Italy with the introduction of protagonist Ezio. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's single-player component sees Ezio assuming control of an assassin network, commanding the combined effort to rid Rome of its corruption and the Templar order.

　　In Brotherhood's multiplayer mode, players can align themselves with the pharmaceutical company Abstergo--which kidnapped the series' contemporary protagonist Desmond--and aid the Templar order. Players have a range of characters to choose from in multiplayer, each of which has signature weapons and assassination techniques. Brotherhood's online component also includes a variety of competitive modes.
