So another one.. Don't know really, I'm excited for it but I hope it isn't rushed like Brotherhood and Revelations. Ubisoft say they've been working on it for 3 years since AC2 so that's good. Rumours say it's set in the American revolution..

Damn that series just keeps coming and coming.. but I guess it will be the same with Hitman with the new studio.

I really hope it isn't the American Revolution, found American History to be rather dull compared to earlier history like 11th century

[Cold Shadow]

Well, I hope they bring something different and make it less scripted to allow more freedom and options to assassinate. Oh and make a better build up to the main target like in Ac 2 and to a point AC 1.

God, I hope it's set in the American Revolution.

[16-bit Irony]

while looking splinter cell retributions found some interesting stuff about AC3 according to this it will be set in American revolution and something like a trailer/teaser will be produced after March 31

The American Revolution sounds great, but will there be anything to climb?

this is going to sound dumb for me to say about the Assassin Creed series because it's pretty much a core aspect of the game, but I'm way over the climbing stuff, I wouldn't miss it if they took a new angle for this one. I don't think they will though, whatever the time period, they'll just have to make it so the character goes somewhere with big buildings I'm assuming

I'd cry blood if there was no climbing in Assassins Creed 3.

[Burial Agent]

Maybe its during the American Revolution, but who's says its going to be AT it?

Could be somewhere else.

^^That's what I just thought. Perhaps it's in England, where your character works behind the scenes to help the Americans win in some way, by taking down the Templar-led government.

I personally wanted it to be in Ancient Egypt or Ming Dynasty/Feudal Japan but I doubt that'll happen as the Animus can only go forward in time, and the last game, Revelations was set in 1511 I think.

If they really wanted to Ubisoft could get around it. They could easily bring into the story that someone has discovered a way in which Desmond can travel back in time so I woulden't count Egypt out yet.

I'd still like to be running around the pyramid in assassins whites.

You've gotten this wrong. The Developers have said that they want to keep going forward, not that the story is forcing them to do so. They could set these games in any time period they want, they've just expressed a desire to keep the timeline moving in one direction, until the end of Desmond's story at least.

I wouldent be surprised if AC3 sees Desmond's story all wrapped up.

[Pennywise380]

Apparently that's what the writers intend. They want Desmond's story over and done with before the Mayan 'End of the World' happens in real life, simply because they feel a lot of tension would be lost if the whole storyline was building up to a Doomsday event that we know never actually happened.

If these games continue (which they undoubtedly will) I'd like to see them downplay the Animus and modern day storyline. The historical settings are what people actually play these games for, anyway. The modern day sections are just becoming more and more convoluted.

I believe parts of the Sengoku Jidai was later than that and you could have a game about assassinating Oba Nobunaga or having it set in the Imjin War.

I second that. Play as the actual character so its life and death, not just desynchronisation. I really don't like the visual glitches/animus overlay that they put over the olden time stuff all that much anyway.
Other than that, I want to see more variety in movement animations. Ezio's swagger-walk was believable, but when Desmond walks like that he just looks like a dick and when old man Ezio does it just seems odd. Not everyone needs to have the same walk/run, the hook was nice because it changed up the climbing animations a bit.
