Creative Director Alex Hutchinson has dropped numerous hints and, although he hasn't flat out said it, we're pretty sure this will be the end of Desmond's story. Hutchinson has already expressed his concerns that Desmond's story has gone on far too long. To that end, Assassin's Creed 3 is a 90% new game. We've got a new character in Connor, a new setting in Colonial America, and a new time period during the
Revolutionary War. As Bob Dylan once wrote, The times, they are a-
With that being said, Assassin's Creed 3 will still have plenty of Desmond. In fact, Hutchinson has already confirmed that it will have "more Desmond material than ever before", but that it will likely also end with this game. We just don't know how.
According to an interview Hutchinson had with EDGE, we'll at least be happy with how his story concludes.
"The story of Assassin's Creed, AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations was to build Desmond up," Hutchinson started off. "He's this guy who's a bit of a nobody when it starts out, and gets new abilities through reliving the lives of his ancestors."
"So we've built this guy up over the course of the games, and I really believe that we can pay that off, and in retrospect he'll be terrific. I don't think anyone really liked Luke Skywalker in [Star Wars] A New Hope, but by the end of his character arc, this journey that he goes through, makes him amazing."
"We're really trying to pay off the investment of the people who've been with the franchise since Assassin's Creed 1, or even just somewhere in the middle, to make this guy cool," he added, basically echoing sentiments expressed in a previous interview.
Hutchinson went on to ease the concerns of players who may be diving into the franchise for the first time with Assassin's Creed 3.
"But at the same time [we] acknowledge those who are just playing Assassin's Creed 3," he said. "We catch you up on where he's been pretty quickly, and it absolutely works as a standalone game, but the full payoff will be for those who've been with us since the start."
Are you ready to say goodbye to Desmond?
It's Assassin's Creed 3 on the Wii U! Find out what's new for this version.
For the first time ever at the New York Wii U Preview event, Assassin's Creed III was playable on Wii U hardware. And let me tell you, it looked sweet. On the show floor of the event, I was able to check out the "Naval Battle" gameplay demo. Followers of the upcoming game might be familiar with the section of the game that requires you to man a battleship while attempting to either destroy or capture other ships.
One of the things I was worried about with Assassins Creed III in general, was how the GamePad's screen would be dealt with. Coming away from the demo, I can say with confidence that the additions they made for the touch screen were not phoned in, at least in the section I played. While controlling the ship, a nicely done map is conveniently displayed on the GamePad's screen. With a press of the R button, the game instantly pauses and enables you to select from four different ship weapons via the GamePad screen. While nothing on the GamePad screen looked particularly amazing, I could see fans of touch interfaces really digging it, not to mention the fact that you have access to a full blown map directly in your hands.
The demo looked amazing, and ran like a champ. The detail of the huge waves, cannon shots, and boat damage were quite impressive. From what I played, it does seem as if the graphics were on par if not slightly above the PS3 version that was demoed at an earlier Ubisoft event in New York.
Even though a more traditional gameplay demo was not available, from what I have seen so far, It looks as if Ubisoft Montreal is doing right by the Wii U version of Assassins Creed III. I can't wait to get my hands on the full version for the Wii U.

While Assassin’s Creed III is launching for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, Nintendo surely loves the franchise because it’s coming to Wii U! as a launch title on November 18th,2012! A couple screenshots were posted showcasing how the Wii U Gamepad manages maps and inventory systems in Assassin’s Creed III. Also regarding footage, IGN managed to film a Naval Warfare demonstration while focusing on the Wii U Gamepad controls. Another video is from the Japanese Nintendo Wii U Preview Event showing Connor doing some parkour what looks to be the city of Boston. Connor makes a leap of faith and shoots a couple guards with his bow and arrow. Finally Gabriel Graziani aka UbiGabe, the Community Developer working at Ubisoft Montreal wrote an interesting article in the Official Playstation Blog detailing another system made for this colossal game: Hunting.
When hunting, Connor will encounter animals like hares, foxes, deers, raccoons and beavers in the frontier. These animals might not present too much threat to our assassin but they are very sensitive to whatever action Connor does, so if you manage to scare them you might not have a second chance hunting your prey. Thankfully Connor being an assassin he can use his Eagle Sense to detect nearby clues such as :a broken branch marking the passage of a fox, a bush with several nibbled leaves confirms a rabbit has had a recent meal or a patch of matted grass served as bedding for a dozing deer, etc. Stalking is essential while hunting so Connor can take various routes: hide in stalking zones or stalk animals while on top of trees. Remain undetected, and aim for the hidden blade kill which will guarantee a clean kill and give more value to pelts, meat, bones and oil take from these animals.
One thing to consider, don’t leave animals without skinning them because surprise! you’ll lose synchronization.
We’ll keep you eager fans updated with the hunting system!
Assassin’s Creed III hunts in the Frontier for Xbox 360, PS3 on October 30th and for Wii U on November 18th as a launch title.

“What you’ll see – particularly with the combat – it’s a lot faster, more fluid, more dynamic. It also requires more strategy. You won’t be able to combo kill your way through all of them (the enemies). They’ll have different resistances that will require you to take a different approach to defeating them.”Assassin's Creed 3will not be a game where players can mindlessly mash buttons to succeed in combat. Players will have to plan attacks and execute upon them to achieve their goals. Fans of Assassin's Creed 3 may also want to take a look at the detailed slide-show we published , of which showcases various artwork and gameplay screenshots from Assassin's Creed 3.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board today revealed their rating summary for the upcoming multiplatform title, Assassin’s Creed 3. Just like the previous games of the series, the sequel received an M (for mature rating). It got tagged with having blood, intense violence, sexual themes, strong language in addition to possible unrated user-generated contents. You can check out the latest screenshots from the open-world action-adventure game in the slideshow at the top of this article and the full rating summary from the ESRB below:
Other:
Includes online features that may expose players to unrated user-generated content (Windows PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U)
Rating summary: This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of Desmond, an assassin who must revisit the lives of his ancestors during the American Revolutionary War. Most missions require players to find, stalk, and kill enemies with a variety of weapons (e.g., muskets, handguns, bayonets, tomahawks). Players can also engage in swordfights with armed soldiers, resulting in depictions of impaled characters and occasional slow-motion effects; large blood splashes appear when enemies are injured. Cinematic cutscenes depict additional blood splatter on characters' bodies and/or clothing, along with more intense acts of violence: an unarmed prisoner getting his throat slit; a man getting shot in the head at close range; a man getting bludgeoned in the head with a cleaver. The dialogue contains a variety of sexual material/innuendo: “King Louis filled the place with whores to keep his men from turning tail,” “[H]ere you are banging my sister behind my back,” “Don't flog the bishop again, lads,” “[T]hey spend 20 minutes simulating . . . sex and walk off with millions.” The game also contains the words “f**k” and “sh*t.” (spoken in both English and French).
Assassin’s Creed 3 is being developed and published by Ubisoft. The latest game in the Assassin’s Creed series will be released first on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on October 30. The Nintendo Wii U version is slated to come out on November 18 while the PC port is due on November 20. You can pre-order the product in the following link: Assassin’s Creed 3
Latest New on Assassin's Creed III
Ubisoft has recently stated that the company may add games that are published by other companies to its Uplay app in the future.
In an interview with website MCV, Ubisoft's worldwide director for online games, Stephanie Perotti, revealed that although Ubisoft's digital distribution service, Uplay currently only offers the company's own PC titles, Ubisoft is looking to challenge EA's Origin service and Valve's Steam by adding third-party games.
"We remain open to opportunities," Perotti told MCV. "Right now, we're starting the service with our own games, but as we go forward, we plan to potentially add other titles."
Uplay was originally an achievement tracking service when it first launched in 2009. The service allowed players to use points to unlock DLC and extras in Ubisoft's other titles. But last month it was revamped and re-launched to allow gamers to download games directly. Uplay has also added features like friend's lists and chat systems, making the service comparable to Steam and Origin.
Perotti also told the site that Ubisoft plans to make further changes and to re-incorporate the best features from the original site's design with the new digital distribution platform.
"The plan for UPlay goes beyond digital distribution," said Perotti."We continue to evolve the service across all platforms, including PC, console and mobile. The more Ubisoft games you play, the more rewards you can get, as well as several online services that players would expect."
Ubisoft recently dropped "Always-on" a digital rights management system that made the company's PC title's impossible to play without a constant internet connection. Although, gamers will still have to register their game online before being able to play the title.
