14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft has just confirmed that it's going to release a massive patch for Assassin's Creed 3 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms next week, which should fix some of the many issues with the game.
Assassin's Creed 3 came out at the end of last month on PS3 and Xbox 360 but, despite receiving a day-one patch which should have fixed a variety of issues, the game remained quite troublesome, with all sorts of glitches and problems annoying gamers.
Now, Ubisoft has confirmed that it's going to release a brand new patch for the game, which should fix plenty of issues.
The update will be released onto the PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime next week.
