8 months ago, in December 2013, Ubisoft said Assassins Creed Pirates was coming to Windows Phone “soon.”

Their definition of soon may be a bit different from ours, but either way, the date is now finally nearly here. 

Posting on twitter, the company confirmed the game will be hitting Windows Phone and Windows 8 on the 14th August, ie Thursday next week.

The game will see the hero Alonzo Batilla do battle with enemies mainly in the form of naval clashes, will feature more than 50 missions and likely cost between 4 and 5 Euro.
