Not a lot of details released so far, but it apparently takes place during the American Revolution. Initially, I was kind of bummed to hear that this was going to be the backdrop. Assassin's Creed is all about scaling badass architecture, and the buildings in 18th century America were kind of slim on verticality. After seeing these screens, though, I'm starting to warm up to the new setting: Discuss.
Anyone else getting a little Red Dead Redemption vibe from some of those screens? I'm pretty sure it has to do with the setting (even though ACIII takes place over a century earlier than RDR), but I'm loving it.
