Gamestop Postpones Assassin’s Creed III Midnight Launch Due To Hurricane Sandy

While most of the world is looking forward to the release of Assassin’s Creed III, those in the Northeast of the US will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on the new release from Ubisoft.

On Monday afternoon, Gamestop announced that due to Hurricane Sandy their stores that are in the path of the storm will remain closed and the planned midnight opening has been cancelled for all stores in the Northeast.

The company shared this from their Facebook Page. 

"Our top priority is the safety of our employees and customers. In compliance with directives issued by state and local authorities, stores in the path of Hurricane Sandy will remain closed until it is safe to re-open and midnight openings for Assassin's Creed III have been cancelled in the northeast. Customers should check with their local stores for details on when we will re-open"

We wish the safety for everybody affected by the storm. The launch trailer is below as Assassin's Creed III is now out for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The Wii U and PC versions are also slated to be released out next month.

I'm a lifelong gamer and share my passion with the world in the form of streaming my games on twitch.tv - www.twitch.tv/terrorhertz and making YouTube videos about all the games I enjoy. I'm also a budding games journalist here :)

My gaming journey began in the Christmas 1992 when aged 6, I got my Sega Mega Drive with Sonic One and World Cup Italia 90. Since then I have played and own pretty much every console since then, just check my collection video on my YouTube channel.

Now days I mainly play PC games and got into the PC side of things when I started playing Everquest in 2005. This game opened my eyes to the mmorpg genre and since then have played most MMO's of which World of Warcraft was my most played. Right now I'm playing and streaming DayZ and FIFA with a few other games thrown in here and there. I'm a games journalist and write weekly articles and monthly reviews and previews whilst also uploading 3+ videos weekly to my YouTube channel where you can find loads of awesome HD gaming videos - www.youtube.com/terrorhertzhd

I've worked as a hardware/software technician for Apple the past 4 years and really enjoy working with computers. I have built/modded/overclocked PC's since around 2007 and it's a massive interest of mine. My other hobbies include video editing, carp fishing, golf and playing guitar.
