On what date was the first Assassin's Creed game released in North America?

The first Assassin's Creed game was released in North America on November 13, 2007.

Ubisoft launched the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on that date, introducing players to Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and the series' historical science-fiction framework. A Windows version followed in April 2008 under the title Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition.

The release date is sometimes confused with the European console launch, which occurred on November 16, 2007. Regional release schedules were common during the seventh console generation, so the same game could have different launch dates in North America and Europe.

The debut established recurring series ideas such as the Animus, genetic memories, the conflict between Assassins and Templars, and traversal across historically inspired cities.
