Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China Available April 21
April 20, 2015	0	By Steph Mernagh
Today Ubisoft announced that their newest installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise will be released in North and South America on April 21 and EMEA territories on April 22 for download on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It will be available to PC gamers worldwide on April 21 as well.
In 16th-century China, the recently appointed Jiajing Emperor instigated a sudden and ruthless purge of all he felt were a danger to his newly acquired throne, including the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins. A young Assassin, Shao Jun, fled to the West to complete her training under the legendary Assassin Ezio Auditore in the animated short Assassin's Creed Embers™ and has returned, determined to restore the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins.
In Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, players pick up Shao Jun's story as she returns to China hell-bent on revenge. Her story will take players to famous locales including the Maijishan Grottoes, Port of Macau, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China. Armed with stealth, agility and a combination of deadly weapons and equipment including a sharp and swift jian, a secret shoe blade, lethal rope darts and daggers, players will deliver payback to those who decimated the Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins.
Developed by Climax Studios in collaboration with Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin's Creed Chronicles brings the thrill of being a Master Assassin to 2.5D. Brought to life by fusing the essence of Chinese 16th-century traditional brush strokes with more contemporary impressionistic styles, Shao Jun's adventure will immerse players in a living painting as they traverse undetected across China's historical landmarks.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China will be followed by Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India and Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia, which will release separately and take players through India in the 19th-century Sikh Empire and then through Russia after the Red October revolution.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China will be available for $9.99.

I was raised in a pretty geeky household on a daily dose of Bill Nye the Science Guy, X-Files, and Jeopardy (not to mention Power Rangers and TMNT). I'm an amateur cosplayer and collect anything and everything related to The Walking Dead. I love Star Wars, Star Trek, Batman, Deadpool, the Avengers... When I'm not at conventions, museums, science centers or playing video games, I'm a full time makeup artist.
