Rumor: Assassin's Creed 3 takes place during American Revolution

4.7
According to promotional art images snagged by a Best Buy employee, Ubisoft's next entry in the Assassin's Creed series will take place during the American Revolution. The image [via Kotaku] features an assassin in front of the original Continental flag.

The hero appears to be Native American, but it's unclear. According to the source, the supposed star of Assassin's Creed 3 carries a tomahawk in one of his his unseen hands.

Ubisoft had previously announced Assassin's Creed 3 was due to hit store shelves by the end of October.

rockycold I thought there have been like 5 or 6 of assassin creed games? I havent played em since the 2nd one which was pretty amazing. I heard they have just overdone it and should stop making them. But like i said, there have been more then 3 right?


Assassins Creed
Assassins Creed II
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
Assassins Creed Revelations

I haven't played any after II myself, that game was amazing though, but Brotherhood and Revelations must be like, for example, Halo 3 being made then Halo Reach and the next Halo being called Halo 4...Think about it being like, Brotherhood came out and Revelations were like long continuations of II...Like really detailed 60$ expansions...In a way...Now that this story line has ended, they make an Assassins Creed 3.

-Lamborghini This would be a great idea, i don't know how much i like the idea of an assassins creed in our times. The use of knives would become obscure and the game style would completely change with the introduction of semiautomatic rifles and MG's


American Revolution. 1775. Semi auto pistols wont be around for 75 years or so and MG's were invited in early 1900's. Only guns that would be in the game would be single shot pistols and rifles, and lever actions weren't around yet.
You sir are right. The only guns would be flintlock rifles and trapdoor guns.(if this takes place near the end of the revolutionary war)

lol someone hasnt studied us history yet, lambo.....

I always look forward to assassins creed games. You know they're not going to be a disappointment and will give you hours of quality xbox time :D Plus it's nice to get away from europe and see a completely different setting
