Ubisoft's medieval stealth-'em-up gets a delay in Europe.

Assassin's Creed, the third-person stealthy action game released by Ubisoft on the Xbox 360 and PS3 towards the end of last year, has sold extremely well since launch, and it wasn't a surprise when a version of the game was announced for our favourite little handheld, the DS. Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles follows a similar style to The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - a top-down, fully stylus-controlled approach. The game was looking slick and stylish when it was announced earlier this month.

Unfortunately, Altair's Chronicles has been delayed until March 28th 2008 in Europe, whilst it's still on track for February 5th 2008 in North America. It looks like us Europeans shall have to wait a little longer to 'get our stealth on' with the DS version of Assassin's Creed.

Stay tuned to N-Europe for the latest on Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles.
