Looks like that rumoured image we ran last night of the protagonist from Assassin’s Creed III checks out — Ubisoft has released the official box art from the game, depicting the same tomahawk-wielding gentleman. Looks like Assassin’s Creed is going to take place during the American Revolutionary War.

I’m quietly excited about the setting, but I thought AC3 would finally bring the story to a current setting with Desmond running around stabbing pricks. That’s the disappointment.
I really hope they wrap up the story well.
I cant wait for the drive by assassination
– Not set in revolutionary France
– Not set in post-industrial revolution Britain
– Not set in 1800s Japan
Bah.

see now those setting would be awesome, I get that the series was always going to go to the Americas but I would have like it to happen later then this
Of course the brits are the bad guys.
What I dont get is how the hell is the free-running going to work!? American civil war era didn’t exactly have buildings stacked closely together all over the place.
And just when I thought I had AC fatigue..
..I’m excited again!
World map from the 2nd game contained 2 pieces of Eden in the American Colony? As in two stored, could also be others that were brought across?
Yawn.
Granted I know almost nothing of the time period and will end up playing the game anyway but there are more interesting chapters in history to plumb. Just saying…
Looking forward to it, was inevitable they’d set it in the US, the Americans love fighting on their own turf. See Resistance 2/3, COD etc etc
Why did we need to see three of the same image with a different logo at the top though?
So no climbing this time around, how incredibly boring
I’ve seen many ignorant comments like this regarding the game being set in America, and why do people persist with them.
Assassin’s Creed oddly enough is not an American (as in USA) game, never has been. The primary development studio has always been Ubisoft Montreal. Hence if you actually read into North American history, one could almost state that killing of British is more offensive in a game developed in a Commonwealth country (albeit the French speaking part of Canada).
Why would there be the “America Fuck Yeah” aspect to game done by a Studio in French speaking Canada, published by a French Publisher.

Because America is 80% of their market. It could be considered pandering.

What’ve we got so far?
* The Holy Land in a time of war/conflict involving many people groups that greatly affected the world.
* Italy during the Renaissance. Then Rome. Then Constantinople… (or was it Istanbul?)
* The American Revolution – a time of war/conflict involving many nations/groups that greatly affected the world.Yes, clearly they’re pandering to Americans.

I dont want to see multiplayer from it though
just one huge story instead.

Aye, multiplayer in Assassin’s Creed is mediocre at best IMHO.
It’s basically deathmatch except only one of the 100 people on the map is your enemy, and you can’t tell him apart from the other 99. Then there’s no skill involved in actually killing him, just lucky/good timing.
Even if you did actually enjoy it there are more enjoyable alternatives.
Lame as hell! I don’t mind games being set in American history, but Ass Creed is supposed to be about the big stuff! Aka! Crusades and the Renaissance!
i don’t wanna play as an Indian.
