Assassin's Creed III officially announced
New title promises to be the most ambitious in the history of Ubisoft, with seven studios involved in development
Ubisoft has confirmed Assassin’s Creed III will hit store shelves on October 30, 2012, and let players experience the American Revolutionary War not written about in history books. The largest project in Ubisoft’s history also introduces a new hero for the series.
Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution in the late 18th century, Assassin’s Creed III introduces a new hero, Ratohnhaké:ton, of Native American and English heritage. Adopting the name Connor, he becomes the new voice for justice in the ancient war between the Assassins and Templars. Assassin’s Creed III spans the Revolutionary War, taking gamers from the bustling colonial towns to the chaotic battlefields where George Washington’s Continental Army clashed with the imposing British Army.
Assassin’s Creed III is powered by Ubisoft-AnvilNext, a new game engine that delivers better visual quality, character models and artificial intelligence.
“Assassin’s Creed III features the franchise’s most expansive setting so far, along with an exciting new hero and exponentially more gameplay,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “Whether you’re a longtime fan of Assassin’s Creed or if you’re new to the franchise, you’re going to be blown away by the scale and marvel of Assassin’s Creed III.”
Additional Assassin’s Creed III details can be found in an exclusive cover feature in Game Informer Magazine’s April issue.
With a development cycle of over three years and twice the production capacity of any previous Ubisoft game, Assassin’s Creed III is set to release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC, and is also in development for Wii U from Nintendo. Assassin’s Creed III is developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with six other Ubisoft studios.
