News of Ubisoft’s charitable offer of the second instalment in the series was first posted by industry analyst, Daniel Ahmad, on his official Twitter account. On a related note, Ahmad says that the offer appears to be global and also includes discounts on the game’s two sequels, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed Revelations.
Moreover, the offer is not a part of the studio’s Uplay+ service. As the game and all associated titles in the series are already a part of the more than 100 PC titles that are available to subscribers.
