Ubisoft has rolled out a short teaser trailer for Assassin’s Creed III fans, which shows a glimpse of the weapons that you will be able to use during the new game once it’s officially launched later this year.
Ubisoft has already confirmed that their new Assassin’s Creed III game will be set during the American Revolution and will feature a new protagonist called Connor Kenway, but his birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton, pronounced Ra-doon-ha-gay-doon.
Weapons and Combat Mechanics
The quick forty-second teaser trailer shows what Assassin Ratohnhaké:ton, aka Connor, will be using to dispatch foes, including long-range and close-up weapons, such as a hidden blade. The hidden blade has been a staple in the Assassin’s Creed series, allowing for stealthy kills and quick, efficient combat. In addition to the hidden blade, the trailer hints at the use of tomahawks, bows, and firearms, reflecting the diverse arsenal available during the American Revolution. The tomahawk, in particular, is a nod to Connor’s Native American heritage and is expected to play a significant role in both combat and the storyline.
Setting and Historical Context
The new Assassin’s Creed III game will be arriving on October 30th, 2012, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, and possibly the new Nintendo Wii U when it’s launched by Nintendo later this year. The setting during the American Revolution offers a rich historical backdrop, filled with iconic events and figures. Players can expect to encounter historical figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Charles Lee, among others. The game aims to provide an immersive experience, blending historical accuracy with the fictional narrative of the Assassin’s Creed universe.
The American Revolution was a period of significant upheaval and change, and the game will likely explore themes of freedom, resistance, and the clash of cultures. Connor’s dual heritage as both Native American and British adds a unique perspective to the story, allowing players to experience the conflict from multiple viewpoints. This duality is expected to be a central theme in the game, influencing Connor’s motivations and actions.
In addition to the main storyline, Assassin’s Creed III will feature a variety of side missions and activities, allowing players to explore the open world and engage in different aspects of the Revolutionary War. From participating in key battles to undertaking covert missions, the game promises a diverse and engaging experience.
The game will also introduce new gameplay mechanics, such as naval combat, which will allow players to command a ship and engage in sea battles. This addition is expected to add a new layer of strategy and excitement to the game, further enhancing the overall experience.
