Computer & Video Games is reporting a rumor that Assassin’s Creed III will be set during the American Revolution. Woo, boy, wouldn’t that be awesome?
The setting was first hinted at in the Da Vinci Disappearance DLC for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’s, which gave players a set of coordinates eventually leading to New York. Another hint in the end of Revelations is a futuristic globe hovering over the United States.
I really hope this rumor pans out. The series is in desperate need of a refresh – or a closure.
American revolution: what big cities were available and interesting enough to run through?
French Revolution is more likely IMO, various cities acros europe. Like London, Amsterdam, Delft, Paris and perhaps Barcalona?
think of all the 1 story buildings you can climb lol
I would probably enjoy the French Revolution….but still American Revolution would be sweet. Think night time Boston Harbor circa 1770.
crude picture here but it gives you an idea. http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/revgfx/bost-mass.jpg
Yes, the American Revolution is indeed an awesome historical event worth exploring, but I as a European I can’t help thinking this is just a move to satisfy the sterotypical American that has absolutely no interest in my continent or its history.
Ah well, it’s not like I played AC anyway.
You could argue that, but the American Revolution is kind of a massive turning point in world history regardless of how you feel about it. The past four games have been in Eurasia, if that’s the time period they I can’t see how they’d AVOID it, especially given the implied Masonic roots in American history and the fact that we’ve been getting fed tips since the second game about the roots and survivals of the Templars up to modern society.
Besides, satisfy the stereotypical American my ass. The stereotypical American doesn’t give a rat’s ass what country, continent, or city the game is in. They just want to run around and stab shit in the face with a knife that comes out of your wrist.
All good points. Might as well get the little dullards to learn what the real tea party was about while they get to shank some red coat bitches.
And yeah, the last game was in Istanbul and sold a lot of copies. We aren’t all drooling idiots here as you may have come to believe…it’s just the dumbest Americans are also the loudest Americans. And even the dumb ones are likely Christian zealots who would probably blow a Templar if given the chance.
