The next Assassin's Creed is set to feature a new protagonist and switch setting to the American Revolution, a source close to the project has told CVG.
The exciting switch to the 18th century conflict will mark the series' 'biggest instalment yet', according to Ubisoft, and our insider indicates the game will be publicly showcased before the end of the company's fiscal year on March 31
The more modern that series gets the more odd its going to be to see the series staples of that game. I'm not sure that series works without radical changes as you get towards more modern times.
Oh sorry, I thought it said WWII.
:duh
Can you be a black person?
Yeah, but it won't happen. If they're going for the American Revolution, why bother going to those places in later years? If they're continuously going forward, I mean.
I'd like to see Meiji-era Bakamatsu Japan. It's the perfect place for assassins. You'd fight ninjas and samurai!

Japan is played out. You want a sandbox meiji era game? You have Way of the Samurai. Or Yakuza Kenzan.
Would rather have locations that haven't been done in sandbox worlds before. New places/eras to explore.
I want to play as Thomas Jefferson.
A giant number of black slaves on the western tip of Africa were mostly sold by their own people, Positive Touch.
Dumb dumb.
I agree with using the French Revolution as a setting, that whole period was absolutely INSANE.
sounds awesome. freemason murders ftw
A guy who e-mailed me and said he saw Assassin's Creed III in action several months ago, but who I couldn't confirm was legit: (I'm paraphrasing what he told me.) The game is in America, during the Revolutionary War, starring a half-American/half-Native American assassin who meets George Washington and builds up a homebase farm of some sort. He mentioned a mission involving tracking redcoats on a frozen lake (the ice could be weakened so they fell through) and a level involving three-mast ships in grand combat.
"I'm working on electricity. Please hold onto this cable and let me know if you feel anything":lol
Arab conquer times > american revolution
I want to see Yazeed go genocidal on shiites!
Is his hood really that iconic?Isnt the revolution before the civil war? I.e. against the red coats not the blue vs grey?
Hoods during North vs South :lol
Just trying to place what kind of structures/crowds I can expect.
Would be awesome as blue vs grey if they added bits with locomotives

That is awesome. Too bad I still have to play through Brotherhood and buy Revelations first.
I passed on brotherhood and revelations, so what i'm saying is mostly bullshit, but I don't want 'additional' gameplay in ass creed 3. No tower defense or building an assassin league or diversions like that. I'd want it to be straight up action-adventure like ass creed 2.
So the official picture from Ubisoft has the main guy looking a lot younger and a lot less native american. Boooooooo.
I don't remember AC2 having tedious stuff...
I know but the official fan art pic has his feather necklace really prominent and stuff. Kind of liked that.??? ??? ???
that is the dumbest thing i've ever seenwhat, Mel Gibson?

Okay, so I realize that news sites are already leaking info related to the leaked GameInformer article on Assassin's Creed III, so I suppose I will do the same here, even though it may not be quite right... Though it's either us or them.
Here is a basic rundown of the new features in the upcoming GameInformer article, to be released next week:
- The new Assassin is the son of a Native American woman and a British soldier. His calls himself Connor, but his birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton. Born into the Mohawk, he eventually crosses paths with the Assassins in his search for righteousness.
- Connor is quiet and stoic, letting actions speak for words rather than conversing with others. In contrast to Ezio, Connor is a freedom fighter who acts in the name of justice rather than on personal revenge.
- Settings will include Boston, New York and a large countryside. The countryside will be the setting of about 1/3 of the game, and will be the location of many events during the game. The countryside will be about 1.5 times as big as Rome in Brotherhood.
- The protagonist will fight on the American side, with primary allies George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Charles Lee. However, this does not mean that the Americans are the good guys and the British are the bad guys. Templars are everywhere…
- There will be seasons in the game, meaning that the sun will shine during summer and the landscape will be covered in snow during winter.
- Fighting and stealth will be completely re-innovated, with Connor being compared to a “predator”. The player will be able to climb trees and other natural elements, and dual-wielding weapons such as a dagger and a mohawk is now also an option.
- Animals will be present in the woods, like deer and bears. The player will be able to kill them and pelt their skins, to sell them later with the reformed economic system of the game.
- There will be puzzles similar to The Truth, only they will not be given by Subject 16.
- Desmond will go into the new Animus 3.0 and will find himself going into “significant events”.
- 100% sync in memories returns, though this time you will be rewarded when you complete memories to 100%. Checkpoints will also be introduced to mission replay, meaning you don’t have to replay an entire mission to get that 100% sync.
- The Brotherhood, or Assassins Guild, will return in some form, albeit differently than we have seen before.
There will be no more Mercenaries, Thieves, Courtesans, Romani or other factions, but there will be a replacement for them.
- Den Defense will not return.
Holy shit @ those screens.
Who needs PC gaming?

I don't understand this series. I never played any of them (I want to pick up the first for cheap soon), but is this, like...a time travel series where you play an assassin in different world conflicts? I are confuserd
