Assassin's Creed III: The American Revolution?

[Moomba]

I had a quick look around and didn't find an Ass Creed III thread anywhere, so instead I shall create one!

Leaked image suggests that the "final" game in the trilogy is going to be set during the American Revolution:

I will admit to being slightly dissapointed that our Assassin does not appear to be female.

[Brandon Strader]

Why would it be female? Just out of curiosity... does ANY of the story throughout the first 9 games lead to a female assassin as the main character in this one?

The indian clothes / tools are cool.

Sort of. During the end segments of Brotherhood, a new female character who would be central to Desmond's quest was mentioned as someone he'd meet soon. So far, the most important characters in each of the games has been the Assassin, so it seemed like an interesting possibility to have a female ancestor for a change.

But yes, a male character does make sense given the rest of the story so far. Strong female leads are cool though

[DusK]

Knew it.

Didn't Revelations come out after Brotherhood? Maybe she was in there.

I don't know I've only played 1 and 2, no spin offs.

[Moomba]

She definitely wasn't. Revelations was a pretty... unrevelationary game. I'm having a hard time even remembering any female characters who played much of a role in the game.

A game set around the American Revolution!?

I'm playing this now.

[Moomba]

We also apparently have:

This which was accidentally leaked by Gameinformer

Provisional Box Art

Fun times! If it's a troll, it's a pretty damn elaborate one!

[Nabeel Ansari]

The British are co-

*assassinated*

[AngelCityOutlaw]

Not that I care about American history, but the revolution is a great setting for the game.

[Nonamer]

I wonder if the main character is fighting on the American or British side. From what we've seen so far, he seems to be a rebel, but it could be that he is technically neutral, like in the first game (Altair was of Arab descent but killed members of both sides).

The box art seems to suggest the American side and given that the options are the Imperialistic British Army vs Underdog Independence-minded Americans, it seems like it would be a given who the Assassins would side with (especially since the Church of England could be considered the Templars for the purpose of the game).

But yeah, I'm hoping for a more neutral stance like in the first game. I can imagine them going with something like the entire revolution being part of a great Templar master plan with agents on either side of the war.

[Nabeel Ansari]

King George III was a mother 'uckin templar?!

[Abadoss]

Hmm... pistols, bow and arrows, and a hatchet... could be interesting gameplay. I feel somehow that the running across rooftops might be hindered somewhat in this setting...

hey wait guys i have a problem... there weren't alot of tall buildings in america in 1777 were there...?

Boston seemed pretty developed for the time. It's no Florence or Rome hey they were just getting started

characters n shit

[Modus]

I'm so fucking pumped for this. I didn't play Revelations because it was the same old. This... is anything but same old.

[Mirby]

MURKA

had to be said

So you're saying it's the same old but you haven't played it.

[Zerothemaster]

I guess the next AC game is set

In America.

I'm totally not sure if anyone gets what I'm referencing

[AngelCityOutlaw]

So you're saying it's the same old but you haven't played it.

Sometimes you don't need too. I thought revelations would be crap. When I got around to playing it

It was crap.

[PixelPanic]

Perhaps he's a French mercenary who is working with the Colonies to take out the Redcoats...but is secretly under a separate agenda sent by the French to take out the Masons???

[Moomba]

Sometimes you don't need too. I thought revelations would be crap. When I got around to playing it

It was crap.

I enjoyed Revelations gameplay wise, though the whole bomb mechanic (fun though it was) seemed kind of pointless when I only used bombs once or twice - there was never really any demand for it.

The story was eh and completely unrevelationary, but I wasn't expecting anything from it really given that it was originally going to be a handheld spinoff but they suddenly decided to stick it on the consoles.

Except Revelations. I was expecting those. Misleading title right there.

[Modus]

So you're saying it's the same old but you haven't played it.

Sometimes I choose to trust word of mouth by the thousands.
