Last night, I finally got round to finishing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. As Ezio’s story closed, I opened up Twitter to let the world know that I had no idea what the fuck had just occurred. Much to my delight, Assassin’s Creed III’s announcement had just been leaked. We’re going to America, baby.

Kotaku got wind of the story from a Best Buy employee who sent promotional images of the next game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The Betsy Ross flag places the game during the American Revolution, and the tomahawk might indicate that future-assassin Desmond is adding Native American to his genealogy. It’ll also be interesting to see how the verticality of the last few games is translated to the new game; what tall buildings were around in early America?

There’s not much more to say than that at the moment. A proper game announcement should be coming soon, and hopefully that’ll reveal a few more details regarding the new game. For now though, just take a moment to appreciate how badass an 18th century assassin looks.
