Ubisoft reveals the first ever details about Assassin's Creed 3

Ubisoft's Jean-Francois Boivin has revealed the first ever details about Assassin's Creed 3 to GamerZines, telling them that the yet-to-be-announced title will feature a "new setting" and a "new hero".

[T9X69]

Ohhh so instead of Assassins Creed 3 coming out November 2011 (since there is no new AC game in 2011) it will come out January 2012.

I like when game developers say "There won't be this in 20XX", its like Sony saying Move will be under $100, but the price is set at $99.99

EDIT: @Captain-Obvious I never really got into Price of Persia so can't really comment on that, but I really enjoy the AC series. I just hope they actually improve the game like they did from AC to AC2 instead of milk it. Who knows, only time will tell, but I'll be disappointed to add it to the list of games not to buy anymore.

@seij555 - I was talking about the bundle, its not just Sony either its every damn company. Oh you can get this or that for under $20.....5 sec later....for only $19.99.

[captain-obvious]

I like most of the games Ubisoft makes I wont lie
I like Assassin's Creed and I like prince of Persia a long side some other games they make

BUT they started to FUCK up this gen with making price of Persia a bad game AND a bad movie as well to make things worse
let alone those bad moves they made like DRM and the DLC ending for Assassin's Creed 2

add to that the Assassin's Creed milking
I like the game but I hate the idea of it being milked to death

they need to make us a new IP

[omi25p]

yep and they then created the monstrosity known as splinter cell conviction the worst game in my favorite franchie. conviction is in my top five most HATED games.

[LilSis]

assassins creed 2.5

oh wait! its 2.7 rite?

[seij555]

MOVE is 40$ I've had the PSeye since launch.

[rdgneoz3]

Hell, if you don't want a game bundled with the Move and Eye, its $90. And you can get the Eye used for like $30. And seeing as Move games are $40 (No clue why Kinect games are gonna be $60), the bundle gives you $30 off a game. Even if you bought the Eye for $30 and Move for $50, you're still saving $20 on a game just getting the bundle. And seij555 said about having a PSeye already, its only $50 for Move and you can use your DS3 if you don't want a Nav controller.

[BattleAxe]

Geez, Ubisoft is going into Assassins Creed overload. Why the heck haven't we heard anything about Rainbow Six? I'm getting tired of this crap.

[the-show-stopper]

yeah!
i want rainbow six and endwar
come on ubi, im tired of ur crap, but away that stupid battle tag crap and give us good games

[Spydr07]

Hasn't this been the case with each one? I mean, the setting changed and so did whose memories you were reliving. The way the second one ended, I'd have figured the third would take place in the the present and Desmond would finally be the hero. If that's not the case, I think I'll be disappointed.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I think you're right that in time, Desmond will eventually be the hero. We still have a long way to go before we get to that point, I think. I guess it depends upon how long they want to drag it out. AC2 takes place in the late 1400's so there a lot they can do between that time and the present.

I think it's actually a great idea to do the series like that. Eventually guns and modern weaponry will be introduced in the series, which will be cool.

[Spydr07]

The way the second one ended, with Desmond able to use his ancestors' abilities, kind of made one think the next one would be about him.

[Kingdom Come]

Is expressing a Strong Leap forward in variety for the Assassins Creed Franchises Single-Player, with the edition of multiplayer Ubisoft can get some serious feedback in preperation for the third title. I for one can't wait, the series seem's to be really evolving into a hugely engrossing experience, with Assassins Creed being a Franchise, lets hope for a Huge ending to a great 3-Part story.
P.S. I want Altair in the game, I don't care when it's set, find a way, Altair is the defenition of an awesome Assassin. (As well as Agent 47 and more...)

[xX TriiCKy Xx]

I thought Brotherhood was the 3rd...

[Karlnag3]

no it's more like a spin off and not a full on AC3... I think of it as AC2.5

(Loving the icon btw)

[Mista T]

milk

[Kingdom Come]

The franchise is on its third title with Brotherhood and is expanding the gameplay possibilities extreme extent adding huge set pieces and Multiplayer. If your looking for a milked Franchise go and look at Guitar Hero or Call of Duty titles...

[cjflora]

The only thing I worry about is COULD this and the DLC I bought have been part of the original ACII game? I'm constantly paranoid that devs are witholding stuff to sell at a later date. I will most likely buy Brotherhood, as I bought the PS3, but I do get concerned.

[N4BmpS]

Nope it actually isn't.

[Naughty Dog]

In total there's going to be 8 AC games, 6 games in 3 years, I say milk.

[Quagmire]

Its called a franchise, people have absolutely no understanding of the definition 'milk'.

Basically, when a game is not needed so soon after another.

AC:B is a spin-off/expansion watever, so its an interesting step for the franchsie.

[Zydake]

Milk, Milk, Lemonade around the corner fudge is made.

[seinfan]

Comparable to Mario? Not even close. GTFO

[Prcko]

cool!

[Tee7soo]

Milk that cow ..

[SSKILLZ]

awesome, it should release November 2012 just before 12-21-12, it would be cool.

[cjflora]

But what if I don't buy it day 1? If I decide to buy it a few months after release, I won't be able to play it. You know, cuz of the end of the world and all...

[Starlight]

I'd say it's bordering on milking. The franchise started in 2007. That's besides the point.

There is no need for Brotherhood imo. Release it as DLC on PSN/XBL

[Neo Nugget]

Starts in 2007 and ends in 2012 is a pretty good if you ask me. It's only five years.

[joevfx]

I hope its in Japan and as a Ninja, i want a ninja stealth game from the assassins creed crew.

[walk_star]

Setting: Egypt
Hero: "Akhom" - Egyptian for "eagle"

EDIT: it's from an AC comic book, nvm... UGH fail

[cjflora]

Dude, that's bad ass. I would totally support that as ACIII. Bubbles, cuz I've never seen this.

[Spenok]

Man i cant wait to see where the (technical finale of the game, since they announced it as a trilogy) ((even though i know there will be more then 3 titles in the franchise, 4 if you count brotherhood)) game will be set. Much less how the hero will look. Ubisoft has a nack for making each hero look more and more badass. In brotherhoods case they just made Ezio look yet more badass lol. I wonder when it will release. 2011 maybe?

[ECM0NEY]

I hope they do those sweet live action "Lineage" vids again they were sick as hell

[the-show-stopper]

those vids were awesome
i loved watching them on my ps3 web browser

[Alos88]

Assuming it comes out in 2012, does anyone else want Mayan mythology to tie into the next game?

[Folezicle]

All the spin-offs on the protable I expect to be poor, and I'm not sure about Brotherhood, but we'll see. But AC 3 should be be good.. i hope they chose another location which is rarely seen in games.. Personally I would like to see Ireland during the Easter rising & Irish Civil War.. Although I'm not sure if the buildings were that large during that time

[bjornbear]

so brotherhood is what? a spinoff to have multiplayer?! im confused.

[WLPowell]

I'm calling it: AC3 to have coop campaign.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Mmmh, perhaps a modern day Assassin. But then again thats a big gap missing from the story.
