The First Gameplay Footage from Assassin's Creed 3

This article is more than 10 years old.

Ubisoft must have gotten enough to people to hype its game through Facebook, because it has now released the first gameplay trailer for Assassin's Creed 3.

The video is set up around the main character talking about the conflict he feels as a half-Colonist, half-Native American, and it has all the glitz and glory that we can expect from a AAA trailer like this one. We can see some of the huge battles promised, as well as the general tomahawking and jumping around that we've come to expect from Assassin's Creed 3. I'm really liking the look of some of the city shots in the trailer, but we're also definitely seeing a wilderness focus appropriate to the Revolutionary War. A sequence featuring Conor climbing up the side of a mountain seems to attempt an answer to fan concerns that there wouldn't be any giant cool buildings to scale.

I find one thing interesting -- we've been told before that the Colonists wouldn't be strictly good guys, and the Readcoats wouldn't be strictly bad guys, but... Conor sure kills a lot of Redcoats in this video.
