French retailer Micromania has revealed some new details on the upcoming remastered version of 2012's
Assassin's Creed III. According to the company,
ACIII 2.0. will released on March 29, 2019, which makes a lot of sense as Ubisoft has announced that the upgraded edition of the threequel would hit stores in March featuring the base game, its spin-off
Assassin's Creed III: Liberation – Remastered, and all the DLC:
Benedict Arnold Missions, Hidden Secrets Pack, and
The Tyranny of King Washington.
Micromania's listing indicates that Ubisoft priced the package at €39,99, so
ACIII – Remastered’s price in the US and Canada should be at least very similar. Asked by a consumer if that listing is accurate, Micromania said "
this is the date the publisher gave us," so you can safely take those details to the bank. The remaster will support 4K and HDR, higher resolution textures leveraging a new graphics engine, and several other graphical enhancements on PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One X, and PC.
The distributor also has some good news for fans on physical editions, as the upcoming title will be available in a classic boxed version. You will obviously have a chance to buy
ACIII – Remastered digitally and you will get it for free if you purchase the
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Season Pass that costs $40 and is included in the Ubisoft Quebec-created game’s
Gold, Ultimate, Spartan and
Pantheon editions.
