Update: Looks like Brotherhood just went up for pre-order on Steam. As a bonus, those who reserve now receive a free upgrade to the Digital Deluxe edition, which includes downloadable content.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood will make its belated debut on PC next month, Ubisoft has quietly confirmed on its official message board. A release is scheduled for March 17 in North America and “certain EMEA countries,” with availability following on March 18 in UK.

There’s no word on if that date applies to digital outlets like Steam as well, but we’ve sent an email over to Ubi to find out.

During an investor call yesterday, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guilemot vaguely mentioned that a new Assassin’s Creed title was in development, with details on hold for May.
