Assassin's creed 3 ~ Softwarepedia

One of the most awaited and the anticipated game of 2012, Ubisoft's Assassin's creed 3 is on its way for the release on 30th of October for both the PlayStation 3 as well as the Xbox 360. While the game is already available for the two gaming consoles, Ubisoft has finally confirmed the release date for the PC version of Assassin's Creed 3. However, the PC gamers have to wait for one month, after the release for the other consoles. Those who lives in North America can expect this release on November 20th, those in Australia/New Zealand can expect it on November 22nd and those who lives in Europe can expect it by November 23rd.

Assassin's Creed III is an upcoming free-roaming action-adventure game for the PS3, PC, Xbox 360, and WiiU that takes place both in a near-future setting and 1775 colonial America.

The series places the player in the role of Desmond Miles, descendant of a long line of assassins. His ancestors have been battling the Templars for control of powerful artifacts from an ancient, deceased race. Desmond accesses memories locked inside his DNA through the use of a machine called the Animus in the search for clues and information on the artifacts, as well as gaining the skills of his ancestors as he lives their memories.

This is where the majority of the game takes place, through 30 years of the life of Connor Kenway, Desmond's ancestor. The gameplay of the series features fast-paced sword fighting, stealth mechanics, and an intense acrobatic running system based on free running and parkour. Many new weapons are included in ACIII, including a signature tomahawk for Connor. Since the game is set in the wild frontier of colonial America, the developers have included an interesting addition in the form of the signature building climbing and rooftop jumping, by transferring these skills to the forests.

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. Players become an Assassin in the war for liberty against ruthless tyranny in the most stylized and fluid combat experiences in the franchise to date. Assassin's Creed III spans the Revolutionary War, taking gamers from the vibrant, untamed frontier to bustling colonial towns and the intense, chaotic battlefields where George Washington's Continental Army clashed with the imposing British Army.

American Assassin, use your predatory instincts to stalk your enemies and eviscerate them with a new arsenal of weapons including tomahawks, rope darts, firearms, and more.

From Lexington to Bunker Hill, become America’s first highly trained Master Assassin. Bear witness to the real conspiracy behind the American Revolution between the Assassin’s Order and the Templar menace alongside historical icons including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and many more.

Pursue your enemies through massive environments – from bustling city streets to blood-soaked battlefields and into the far reaches of the American frontier.
