Ubisoft just announced that "Assassin's Creed: Rogue" which was previously a console exclusive for the Xbox 360 and PS3 will be coming to the PC platform this March 10 alongside some added benefits as well.
Along with the announcement, Ubisoft also released the specs required to run the game, which are as follows:
- Operating System: 64-bit for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8/8.1

As many people might have noticed, the Tobii EyeX controller is natively supported by the game which is indeed great news. Tobii themselves also announced their partnership with Ubisoft to bring together their amazing eye-tracking peripherals to the PC version of the game.
President of Tobii Tech, Oscar Werner had this to say about the partnership with Ubisoft, "This is only the beginning of eye-tracking in gaming. It is an important step in Tobii's long term vision to create a strong ecosystem of games and apps that use eye tracking to create even more immersive experiences".
So how does the Tobii EyeX controller actually work? Well for starters, players still use the traditional keyboard and mouse combo while adding an additional layer of controls thanks to the Tobii EyeX controller. If the player looks left, then the character will also look left, and so on. This will give the game and player what they called the "Infinite Screen", where the game will auto-pan automatically giving the player more vision than you'd normally get with a screen or monitor.
This is great news for the fans of the game but some are still weary if the game will be successfully ported to the PC platform without any bugs or glitches like in previous Ubisoft "Assassin's Creed" games.
