Assassin's Creed III

A Adventure game by Ubisoft Montreal, released in 2012

81/100🔴Niche / Inactive🥇Proton GoldPlayStation 3PC (Microsoft Windows)Wii U

Assassin's Creed III is an open-world action-adventure game set primarily in 18th-century Colonial America during the American Revolution. Players control two characters across the story: Haytham Kenway, a British Templar operating during the French and Indian War, and his half-Mohawk son Ratonhnhaké:ton (also known as Connor), who becomes an Assassin. Gameplay takes place across Boston, New York City, and a large wilderness frontier, with free-running, stealth, and combat using weapons including tomahawks, muskets, bows, and the series' signature Hidden Blades. The game introduces naval combat through Connor's captaining of a warship, as well as hunting, a homestead economy system, and seasonal weather that affects gameplay. A modern-day framing narrative follows Desmond Miles using the Animus to relive his ancestors' memories.
