Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for the PC, after a lengthy period of uncertainty, has finally received a concrete release date, as a Ubisoft forum manager confirmed that it's going to be released next month.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has been a phenomenal success on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for Ubisoft, who announced yesterday that it sold over 6.5 million copies since the game's release back in November.

Now, the PC users are finally getting some much-awaited details, after being left in the dark for quite a few months.

"Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for PC will be released on March 17th [North America and certain European countries] and the 18th of March for [UK]," said the Ubisoft UK forum manager.

The wait will be worth it, according to Ubisoft, as the company also revealed that Brotherhood on the PC is set to include support both for 3D technology and multiple monitors.

Thanks to Nvidia's 3D Vision tech, players are going to feel immersed in the game's Rome setting, and experience the game in a whole new way.

If players have a Radeon video card, then they'll be able to enjoy support for AMD's Eyefinity technology, which allows players to lineup multiple PC monitors for a really panoramic view of Renaissance Italy.

Ubisoft revealed a few weeks ago that the PC platform is still very important to the Assassin's Creed franchise.

"Definitely, PC is still an important platform for the franchise," said Ubisoft UK marketing boss Murray Pannell at that time. "The PC version is still on track, looking good and we're looking forward to showing some concrete details on that format soon."

Even so, the company will almost surely use its controversial Digital Rights Management (DRM) system in order to protect the game from pirates that have caused some serious problems lately.

Expect more details about the PC version of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood as we approach its release date in March.
