After
two slightly underwhelming installments, many fans argued that the Assassin’s
Creed series was in dire need of
a revolution. Thankfully Ubisoft seemed to agree, as evidenced in Assassin’s
Creed III. We speculated
on the setting of ACIII, and
once it was revealed to be the American Revolution, we expressed
our hopes and fears
over this
decision. But despite all of that, we still didn’t get a chance to see
the game in action until the final day of GDC, when Ubisoft gathered a
small group of journalists together to unveil ACIII, highlight its
lengthy development, and prove why it’s shaping up to be the most
groundbreaking entry in the series.
