God Bless America and Its Assassin’s Creed Game

?Oh hai first unconfirmed but very official looking promo art for Assassin’s Creed III.
Colonial America, eh? I can dig it. I admit, I wasn’t expecting this — I figured the next pre-Desmond would be kicking around 18th century London or something — but I like the surprise. Plus, having to face enemies with muskets should be a nice bump in difficulty after the I AM EZIO GOD OF ALL DEATH gameplay of the last couple of AC titles. And remember, as our American history books teach us — by which of course I mean Roland Emmerich’s The Patriot — all British people in the 1700s were pure evil, so it’ll be nice to shove an arm-blade or a hatchet into those fork-tongued bastards’ necks (Via Kotaku)
