On what date was Assassin's Creed II released in North America?

Assassin's Creed II was released in North America on November 17, 2009.

Ubisoft launched the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on that date, making it the first major sequel to the 2007 original. The Windows version followed in March 2010, while later releases brought the game to additional platforms.

The date is sometimes confused with the European launch, which took place on November 19, 2009. Assassin's Creed II is set mainly in Renaissance Italy and follows Ezio Auditore da Firenze, but its release schedule was a modern publishing detail rather than part of the historical setting.

The sequel expanded the series with swimming, a wider economy, property management, and a substantially larger story. Its release date is therefore a useful fixed point when comparing the development and launch history of the Assassin's Creed franchise.
