Assassin's Creed Rogue, the tale of one Shay Patrick Cormac, the Assassin turned Templar, that originally released last year on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, is now air assassinating its way over to PC on March 10 with the addition of eye-tracking support and a free game if you pre-order.
The eye-tracking support comes from Tobii Tech's SteelSeries Sentry hardware, so if you have that, you'll be able to swing the camera left and right depending on where you're actually looking, creating something Ubisoft is calling "an 'infinite screen' experience." Normally, I'm not much of a head-tracking guy because tech like TrackIR requires you to essentially turn your head away from the screen to get a new angle, but Ubisoft's implementation here sounds like a legitimate improvement, even if "infinite" is a bit of a stretch.
If you pre-order the game, you'll get your choice of any one of these games for free: Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II Deluxe, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed 3, Assassin's Creed: Liberation, or Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry.
