Assassin's Creed 3 brings the centuries of dispute between the Assassins and Templars to American shores. Players take on the role of Connor, a Mohawk Indian Assassin during the American Revolution. Players will encounter many historical figures including Paul Revere, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and more. Combat and movement have been completely re-worked from the ground up, so Connor can take on the Templars in colonial New York, Boston, and the American frontier.
If your gear isn't up to date, you still have time. Assassin's Creed 3 arrives on PC on November 20, in the US, and November 23 in the UK.
