Assassins Creed 3: Info Blowout – New Engine, Protagonist Information, New Camera, Animus 3.0

[Chaos Raiden]

We have a ton of details for you courtesy of Game Informer magazine, and this is shaping up to be the best Assassin’s Creed yet.



The goal of the development team was to stay true to the franchise, and try something new with the game as well. That’s obvious since this is a mainline Assassin’s Creed game.

-There will be brand new environments and all-new ways to exploit them to your advantage, according to the creative director Alex Hutchinson.

-The cinematic presentations will extend beyond combat in to a complex way of storytelling. The game will have actually have the Mohawk language in some scenes. Mohawk was the language of the native Americans.

-The development cycle was the longest compared to any Assassin’s Creed game. It seems the game was developed simultaneously, with the other spin-offs.

-They’re telling a story of Templars vs Americans. It’s not about winning the war, but a story based on the main protagonist’s life.

-The game will feature a new camera, which focuses to the best possible view of the action.

-The game runs on a brand new version of the Anvil engine.

-The new Assassin is the son of a Native American woman and a British soldier. He calls himself Connor, but his birth name is Ratohnhaké:ton. Born into the Mohawk, he eventually crosses paths with the Assassins in his search for righteousness.

- Connor is quiet and stoic, letting actions speak for words rather than conversing with others. In contrast to Ezio, Connor is a freedom fighter who acts in the name of justice rather than on personal revenge.

- Settings will include Boston, New York and a large countryside. The countryside will be the setting of about 1/3 of the game, and will be the location of many events during the game. The countryside will be about 1.5 times as big as Rome in Brotherhood.

- The protagonist will fight on the American side, with primary allies George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Charles Lee. However, this does not mean that the Americans are the good guys and the British are the bad guys. Templars are everywhere…

- There will be seasons in the game, meaning that the sun will shine during summer and the landscape will be covered in snow during winter.

- Fighting and stealth will be completely re-innovated, with Connor being compared to a “predator”. The player will be able to climb trees and other natural elements, and dual-wielding weapons such as a dagger and a mohawk is now also an option.

- Animals will be present in the woods, like deer and bears. The player will be able to kill them and pelt their skins, to sell them later with the reformed economic system of the game.

- There will be puzzles similar to The Truth, only they will not be given by Subject 16.

- Desmond will go into the new Animus 3.0 and will find himself going into “significant events”.

- 100% sync in memories returns, though this time you will be rewarded when you complete memories to 100%. Checkpoints will also be introduced to mission replay, meaning you don’t have to replay an entire mission to get that 100% sync.

- The Brotherhood, or Assassins Guild, will return in some form, albeit differently than we have seen before.
There will be no more Mercenaries, Thieves, Courtesans, Romani or other factions, but there will be a replacement for them.

- Den Defense will not return.

Finally a new character. Sorry Ezio dear, you're cool, but never quite understood why you had 3 games on your own while Altair only had one.

Is Desmond alive still? What's his role?

How will he meet his ancestors?

Well connor actually means wolfe.

I was a little skeptical of the revolution setting but im liking it tho.

The things people are gonna be concerned with is how this game brings closure to the big arc.
Also whether or not Desmond or connor will catch on as characters will be looked at.

I got the new GameInformer today and I seen AC3 takes place in Colonial America is it? I thought it was a lame move. Speaking as a American their is nothing worth wide about American history. Its disturbingly boring.
Perhaps I should read the AC3 article in the book lol.

The version of American history taught in schools is mind numbingly boring but there is a lot of interesting information schools leave out.

After reading the article in Gameinformer and reading your post I'm compelled to agree with you.
