Assassin's Creed 3 coming October 30

by Andrew Yoon, Feb 15, 2012 10:00am PST

Ubisoft has made no secret that Assassin's Creed will be an annualized franchise. This year's iteration of the game is supposed to mark the end of Desmond's story, due to a 2012 apocalypse predicted within the franchise lore.

"In Assassin's Creed we set up a timeline with this whole end of the world plot of December 2012," Ubisoft's Alexandre Amacio explained. "That's fast approaching, and the story we have to tell, we obviously need to do it before we arrive at that point."

Fans have been looking for clues on where the next Assassin's Creed game may take place. Rumors suggest the American Revolution.

However, all will be revealed in the not-too-distant future. According to Kotaku, Ubisoft has announced an October 30th release date for this year's release. "Assassin's Creed 3 is the true next generation of both the Assassin's Creed brand and interactive entertainment/storytelling in general," Joystiq caught Yves Guillemot saying.

A first look at how Desmond's narrative will wrap up is likely to come in Assassin's Creed Revelations DLC, leaked this morning.

      I always thought the whole thing where Altair, Desmond, and Ezio looked exactly the same was fucking dumb.
      Perhaps this is preparation for a female protagonist in AC3
