Ubisoft's promotional activities for Assassin's Creed II began way back in May of this year, and to this point have never really stopped. Now, with the release date less than one month away, it's unlikely that the marketing campaign will cease prior to this years' busy retail season. This weekend, however, Ubisoft are stepping-out with the most encouragable aspect of their campaign to date: an invitation for the public to get their hands-on the upcoming Assassin's Creed II weeks prior to the official release date.
