And here we go… the first, official gameplay trailer of Assassin’s Creed III is live. The footage shows off some quite awesome scenes of the game’s hero, Connor, taking on the colonial American templars in the snowy wilderness and new old-timey setting.
See, we knew that a new setting and character would help drive off that Assassin’s Creed Fatigue that set in during Revelations. Ubisoft yesterday revealed that Assassin’s Creed III is killing their pre-order sales figures for all of their other games, including previous AC titles, thus far.
The American Revolution that is… Ubisoft has offered up a new set of screens of Assassin’s Creed III, and yes, it’s looking great.  Most importantly, ACIII looks to cure “Assassin’s Creed Fatigue” with a very different setting, period of time, characters and gameplay.
And just like that, Ubisoft officially reveals Assassin’s Creed III. The existance of the game was sorta leaked out last week thanks to retailer listings and box art, but the company has made it totally official.
