Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, unveiled Assassin’s Creed for PC will be available at retailers end of March.

Following in the wake of the critically acclaimed and worldwide console hit Assassin’s Creed, the PC version entitled “Assassin’s Creed, Director’s cut edition” will feature four brand new exclusive types of investigations, thus providing even more ways for players to explore the various locations of the Third Crusade.

Players will assume the role of the main character, Altair, and will work to stop hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict and experience the art of a master assassin. With more than 5 million units of the console versions sold to date worldwide since its mid-November 2007 launch, Assassin’s Creed PC is set to expand upon this success.

“We are thrilled to bring Assassin’s Creed to an eager PC audience and we anticipate the game will resonate with them just has it has across the other platforms,” said John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director at Ubisoft. “Assassin’s Creed is a game that must be experienced firsthand to fully understand how dynamic and meaningful this title has become for video game fans worldwide.”

The investigations were pretty weak in the original AC. The Informant ones were the only ones that provide a challenge, the other ones were like "Walk up to some dude and Press B" or "Walk up to some dude and Press Y" or "Walk up to some dude and Press X a couple of times". They could spice that up a little bit.

4 new types of investigations are nice but they are optional (you only have to do 3 out of 6 iirc) so if they ain't adding more story content like more assassinations, then this ain't worth another playthrough.
