Ubisoft is releasing Assassin’s Creed III at the right time since fans were getting fed up and antsy with the same gameplay from the previous two installments and yes this latest title brings a lot of new content to the table.

Ubisoft presented almost a media blowout on Monday during their press conference: An official E3 trailer followed by a live demo of the game and ending with another gameplay trailer. While during Sony’s conference another demo was shown as, Assassin’s Creed took it the seas, with a naval battle and the PS Vita title Assassin’s Creed: Liberation was announced. So let’s get started with this c’mon!

Expect to see more historical faces e.g. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Based off of a new and updated game engine Assassin’s Creed III looks promising than ever.

The gameplay will take place in the countryside of the Northeast of the country, as the story progresses other locations will have show different weather such as summer in Boston. The economy in the game will be based off of traded animals that are hunted and purchased property will be up. Connor has a ton of combos and chains kills and can use enemies as human shields.

How about the naval battles that was mentioned earlier.

Lastly, there is some of the info on Assassin’s Creed III Multiplayer and new game mode called Dominion.

Dominion is a four vs four game similar to king of the hill. The two teams take turns hunting each other however the hunted team has to capture “holding zones” and survive.

Another new aspect is the ability to use the environment for kills and the weather system from the single player will be added to the maps. There will be a third slot for abilities, new weapons like the poison dart and the kill and stun button will be the same button (save the confusion during a panic).

Fighting in the bayou will bring out wildlife in the gameplay but straying from the forest of north the bayou will have encounter several threats including alligators. Aveline will across cross the gulf of Mexico but there are no details on that.

Mulitplayer mode will be on the Vita but it will unique to the Vita making it different from the previous installments.
