London, UK — January 12, 2016 — Today, Ubisoft® announced that Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: India is now available worldwide for download on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC.
During 19th-century India, at the height of British control and while tensions are quickly escalating between the Sikh Empire and the East India Company, a Master Templar arrives looking to steal the famed Koh-i-noor diamond. Upon his arrival, master assassin Arbaaz Mir must act fast to secure the diamond for the Brotherhood, steal back a mysterious box that belonged to the Assassin Order and discover the Templars’ objective, putting his love affair with Princess Pyara Kaur in jeopardy and her safety at risk.
In Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India, players will step into the life of Arbaaz Mir, a smart, charming and stealthy Master Assassin.
