Artistry of Assassination

Assassin’s Creed™: Director’s Cut Edition, a game that took the action-platforming genre to another level, is available now on GOG.com for a limited time!--buy one, get one free with the Heroes of Might & Magic V Bundle for a total of $19.99.

This is one of the two new “Premium Edition” games that GOG.com is offering; they are a slightly higher price--but they come packed with value and we’re encouraging you to try them out with this buy one, get one free promotion that’s running until 12 April at 4.59 PM GMT.

Desmond Miles is a bartender, a simple lad who is abducted by a mysterious organization and attached to the Animus, a strange machine that allows him to access his ancestor’s memories. Now he--and you--can see the events that happened in the year 1191, the time of the third crusade in the Holy Land vividly, and Desmond find himself assuming the role of Altaïr ibn La-Ahad, a merciless killer that carries out assassinations ordered by the most mysterious and deadliest clan of assassins.

Assassin’s Creed: Director’s Cut Edition is a game that redefined the action genre with open gameplay, intuitive controls, incredibly fluid combat mechanics, and realistic interactions with the world surrounding you. Every architectural detail like window ledges, carvings in the stone or wooden bars can be used to as environmental props for fluid, acrobatic movement. Depending on your choices, the crowd will allow you to blend in or expose you to the guards. There are many ways to reach your goals, but the result must be always lethal. Stunning graphics and crisp sound effects complete the perfect gaming experience Assassin’s Creed has to offer.

The Director’s Cut Edition features improved artificial intelligence, more detailed graphics, some smaller additions and improvements, and most noticeably, four new missions, including the Roof Chase, Kill the Archers, Destroy the Market Stands, and Escort.

You can expect immersing and unique gameplay experience dressed to kill now on GOG.com. Bundled into a Premium Edition with more than 250 minutes of soundtracks, an official artbook, wallpapers, avatars, design sketches, and more, its full price is $19.99, but you pick it up for a limited time together with our Heroes of Might and Magic V Bundle on a special introductory buy one, get one free sale!

I love seeing critically acclaimed Ubisoft games with zero DLC. Such sweet justice.
I'll pass. For 10 Dollars yes, but definitely not for 20. I can get the retail copy for less money.
@Nephilim83 - You mean DRM right? I had to do a double-take and make sure they were truly DRM-free. I never thought Ubisoft would have gone for this. Amazing!
I have always wanted to play this, but didn't want the DRM. The soundtracks included seal the deal for me. I'm very excited about this.
Yeah, I was waiting for (and expecting) this on GOG.com soon, and thanks to Ubisoft - I hope you bring more title to gog.com

Actually Ubisoft made huge DRM-free sale on Amazon 2 weeks ago so I guess they are atleast reconsidering their policy for older titles

The retail version of Assassins Creed 1 never had any DRM.
Yay! Thanks GOG.com and thank you so much for Fallout! :D
The Director's Cut, that's sold here is the best version of the game with extra content and mission variety

Also: the PC version of this is great, they did a great job on it, the menus may be a bit confusing but everything else and the game runs and plays awesome

90% of those titles had been DRM free for years, but supposedly Amazon has been pushing them to go DRM free on some titles, including AC1 I believe, so I guess GOG was the next logical step.
YES GOG YES, Ubisoft needs to be shown the error of their DRM loving ways. (although this title may not have had it, I know later AC games had/have horrendous DRM)

I would have probably tried this series a lot sooner if Ubisoft weren't using such terrible DRM. Practically have to wait for the games to become bargain bin before they remove their DRM. Now just confince them to remove DRM across the rest of their titles :D
