Assassin’s Creed 2 first Ubisoft title to incorporate Uplay

Posted on 18. Nov, 2009 by Freak_c in News

And what exactly is Uplay? To be honest I have no idea. Ubisoft claims it to be an “online destination where gamers are at the center of a connected gaming universe,” intended to link all Ubisoft titles across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Players can access the Uplay portal through the web or in-game, with AC2 being the first title to include the still-in-beta service.

Of the “four primary services” Uplay includes – titled “Win,” “Help,” “Share” and “shop” – only Uplay Win is currently available in the beta. Ubisoft explains Uplay Win as “[enabling] players to collect units based on their actions in the games and exchange them for rewards such as exclusive in-game content or digital items,” the first of which are an Altaïr outfit and “access to the Auditore Family Crypt” (among other things). We’ve yet to fully plunge the depths of Uplay’s offerings in Assassin’s Creed 2.

So head on over to Uplay and see whats what. Will be interesting to test this out this Friday when Assassins Creed 2 comes out. News Source.
