Fresh Assassin’s Creed III Details Unveiled

The Issue 176 of Polish Magazine ‘PSX Extreme’ carries fresh new details of Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed game titled as “Assassin’s Creed III“.

Take a look at the complete new details below (translated from Polish to English):

• The story spans over a 20-30 year period of the years 1753 to 1783.
• Connor will have access to firearms, bows, throwing knives, a heavy saber, a hammer, and a large two-handed sword in addition to his previously revealed hidden blade and tomahawk. He’ll use a wire with the blade – to pull enemies on trees, rock shelves.
• Connor will be able to hunt in the wild, similar to a solution of Red Dead Redemption.  Hunted animal will be skinned and selling their pelts for money with over 30 animals to hunt, the value of the pelts will change depending on how you kill them.
• Just like his predecessors, Connor can perform Leaps of Faith, this time from treetops into moving carriages of hay.
• ‘AnvilNext’ game engine will be capable of rendering thousand-man battles and Connor will partake in great battles throughout the game. In addition to the powerful new engine, Connor’s animation will be smoother and more natural than any previous Assassin’s Creed character. He will be able to adapt to any obstacles in the environment as he traverses through New England.

• In addition to the game’s night and day cycle, there will be seasonal changes and weather conditions which vary throughout the game. We’ll revisit the same areas throughout the seasons.
• More than just a visual effect, weather has a huge impact in the game—snow will impair mobility and wading through blizzards can be difficult. As such, Connor will have to make use of the treeline to get around during the winter.
• For the first time in Assassin’s Creed, NPCs will interact with each other instead of simply milling around, and the game also includes children.
• There will be companions, but for sure they will not create any guild or a formal group.
• The game will be a lot of scripted or ‘canned shares taken out straight from Hollywood productions, such as running away from the group of armed soldiers through the middle of someone’s home.
• In combat, opponents can also be used as a human shield and thrown into other combatants for good measure. However, despite the Mature rating, it won’t be possible to cut off their limbs or decapitate the enemies. The developers have also abandoned the possibility of scalping enemy combatants because they want the focus to be on the story, and not its violence

• Enemies won’t attack while waiting “in line” until your character will fight with each individually.
• The game runs beside Benjamin Franklin and George Washington’s Polish accent of those events – Casimir Pulaski.
• The size of uninhabited land in Assassin’s Creed III is 1.5 times greater than that of Rome (AC: Brotherhood).
