Assassin's Creed Rogue Release Date Revealed

Ubisoft also revealed the PC system requirements and Eye-Tracking Features.

Assassin's Creed Rogue for PC is scheduled for launch on March 10. The game was originally launched for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in November.

The PC version of Rogue also supports eye-tracking through a partnership with Tobii Tech. Ubisoft claims Rogue is the "first game of this scale" to offer eye-tracking.

To take advantage of the new feature, Rogue players will need a SteelSeries Sentry ($200) with Tobii eye-tracking support. It works like this:

    Multidimensional Movement -- using traditional controls to shoot in one direction while using the player’s gaze to focus and throw an object, such as a grenade, in another.
    Eye Contact -- characters in the game react based on eye contact from the player, just as they would in real life.
    Immersive Graphics and Sound -- environmental elements of the game react with animation or sound based on eye contact from the player.

"We recognized the power of eye tracking early and were quick to work with Tobii to create a completely new way to experience a game," Ubisoft producer Corneliu Vasiliu said. "We are really proud of the result with Assassin’s Creed Rogue."

Lastly, Ubisoft announced the PC system requirements for Rogue. These are listed below, and comprise both the minimum and recommended requirements.
