Today the debut Assassins Creed 3 trailer was posted on the web for the world to see. Just under a week ago, a couple of concept drawings were released showing the hero of the game dressed in a similar hooded ensemble, but armed with a tomahawk, a pistol, dressed in boots that look like they are made out of hide, and standing in front of a waving American flag.
The guess that I made when I saw the drawings was that this game was going to take place during the colonial era in America. After seeing the trailer, I now know that the game will take place during the revolutionary war. The end of the trailer shows American soldiers in blue coats charging into battle, with American flags waving, and a general that looks very similar to George Washington. This will hopefully make for an interesting change in game play since the setting is so different from the cities used in the old games like Jerusalem and Venice.
The hero is also shown using his tomahawk to silently take down foes. There isn't much hidden blade show, but it's doubtful that an assassins most used weapon won't be in the game. The hero is also seen using a pistol to blast an enemy in the face, after digging a tomahawk into the back of his skull. This makes me hopeful that the game will come chocked full of cool combinations that you, as the hero, can pull off. The way the hero climbs and swings through the forest on trees makes me wonder if the game will take place primarily in the forest. It would definitely be a change of pace from the advanced civilizations that were the settings of the past games in the series.
I'm not going to lie, this game has me more interested than I imagined it would. The change of setting will make for a breath of fresh air for the series, and not make it feel so stale. The game has a release date of October 30th 2012, so be sure to save the date and pick up a copy.
