What was the North American release date of Assassin's Creed II?

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

The sequel arrived two years after the original Assassin's Creed and expanded the series from the Crusades into Renaissance Italy. Its story introduced Ezio Auditore da Firenze and featured cities such as Florence, Venice, and Forlì.

Release dates differed by region and platform, which is why several nearby dates can appear in reference lists. The November 17 date specifically identifies the North American console launch. European releases followed shortly afterward, and the Windows edition arrived in 2010.

Assassin's Creed II was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. Its broader world, improved mission variety, and new protagonist helped establish Ezio as one of the franchise's defining characters.
