Ubisoft is still considering that, among other periods/locations, but they have to finish Desmond's story first.Maxtro said:
Image of Assassins Creed III's main character leaked
- Thread starter superdelux

Pretty sure that flag had a lot more stars during the Civil War/ trail of tears...Snowalker said:
Well this looks like an interesting successor to Ezio, its hard to tell anything other than the setting from the image but it does seem a bit gung-ho lets go America though. But even that is more original than reusing Ezio 3 games and 3 years in a row.
Yay! Another thread devolves into "Amaricuh sux!". I'm glad this is set in America. For many reasons. We all knew it had to end up in America, where else would the most powerful Christian headquarters be? ROME? HAH, they're a figure head. Can't wait to play assassin missions against the religious right in America.
Secondly, the game has been in every country EXCEPT America for the past 4 titles! So 1 time out of 5 and it's "thes producers are ghey, thay pander Americah!"?
Thirdly, I am really looking forward to whether or not JWB was a assassin, or just a murderer of Abe Lincoln. It'll be interesting how they choose the interweave conspiracy into the founding fathers ideals.

They have all the time periods in history and they choose this one? Can I make a huge guess who the bad guys are gonna be?
And here I was, thinking they'd do something interesting.

Hmm, being in three games might have something to do with it. Honestly, I thought he was loads better than Altier. You could see him grow as an assassin.BakaSmurf said:
Well, I think they will probably not make the British into monsters like in "The Patriot". I think the story will probably be that secret bunker we saw in Ezio's last game, being in America I think it was, The British will have several Ranking officers that are part of the Templars, So the british may be used as your main enemy, they will most likely be like the gaurds in the last few games, most there just to be unfortunite victums.Plinglebob said:
I read in a Game Informer about Revelations that they went to great lengths trying to not make the Templar/ Assassin conflict seem like a black and white good and evil thing (if I recall, it was a benevolent dictatorship vs. a grassroots anarchy), so I hope they don't turn the British or the Loyalists into monsters or the like. I hope that by being both a Native and an Assassin that the new character (almost called him Ezio by habit) will be more or less neutral in the revolution itself, only fighting the Templars, regardless of who they are. Having the American flag as a backdrop isn't promising, but I sincerely hope that's just to clue us in on what time period it takes place in. I bet there will be a Paul Revere mission. Probably an escort.
If they don't handle this properly, Assassin's Creed III will be the one of the series that nobody likes. At all.

I called this setting months ago. It always made the most logical sense to me, especially given the difference in time between ACs 1&2 (roughly 300 years), and the series' focus on 'interesting events or periods' and their associated locales. Therefore: (Renaissance + roughly 300 years x interesting events) divided by the need to bring the story closer to Desmond = Late 18th century America.
I was hoping we'd go east. Or maybe southwest to Egypt. Or maybe-
Okay, anywhere but here. Still, Templar founding fathers would be an interesting shakeup. Imagine them introducing more would-be historical people that could have been founding fathers, but instead drew the short straw and ended up as assassination targets. Or maybe siding with a secret alliance of British and native Americans to oppose the colonization efforts. The possibilities for alternate historical interpretations are endless. Although if you screw this up and just recount Revolutionaries=good, Loyalists=bad, I'mma gonna have to unleash a fiery can of my admittedly amateur raeg at you.
At least you're finally doing something with that eagle symbolism, hey?

You don't know much about the Revolution, do you?willofbob said:
OT: Not convinced this is real. That would require a change in the formula of the game with it's heavy melee fighting, roof climbing, ect. And we all know that developers don't change a formula mid-series. Or ever sometimes.
I was kinda hoping for Victorian London (and I see I wasn't alone in that), but I'm not complaining. This is one of the few series of games I've actually cared about from the start 'till now, so I'm definitely looking forward to this. Come to think of it, considering how/where the last one ended, it really shouldn't have come as any kind of surprise. But that's hindsight for you. (I honestly hadn't even considered it...)
But it is still unconfirmed. I won't be believing this until Ubisoft confirms it themselves, a Best Buy employee isn't exactly the most reliable source.Beryl77 said:
