'Assassin’s Creed' Turns 10 & Some Of 2017’s Biggest Game Anniversaries
Arianne Gift2017 is the year where a new game console, the Nintendo Switch, is to be launched, new software are released and a slew of games will achieve one of their biggest milestones to date. "Assassin's Creed" for one, will turn 10 years, although Ubisoft is yet to confirm the game's return as of this writing. Other notable game anniversaries this year is "Street Fighter's" 30th on August 30 and "Final Fantasy VII," which will turn 20 on January 31.
Feel old yet? There's more! The good folks at Game Kana managed to compile a rundown of all the major game anniversaries over the course of 2017. Unsurprisingly, there's so much to look forward to. Topping their list, "Dig Dug" will be 35 by mid-April. The game was first released in arcades in April 19, 1982.

The series is well received by both gamers and critics, and in June 2016 became Ubisoft's best selling franchise, according to the company's Facts & Figures.
