It wasn’t long when Ubisoft demonstrated the power of their new ‘AnvilNext’ engine by showcasing Assassin’s Creed 3 which contained a glimpse of ‘watery’ sequences, which in turn led us to think about whether we will be able to control the ships on the high seas or whether it will just be another scripted sequence.
This doubt of ours turned into reality when Ubisoft showcased their latest trailer confirming the details that we will, in fact, play a fair share of our part in naval warfare.
Check out the announcement trailer below
So this gives us a chance to become swashbuckling pirates on the high seas with our main character Connor Kenway at the helm of the ship. Sounds great so far. Ubisoft confirmed that the players will be able to own ships and navigate the waters complete with cannons and other naval weaponry. Players can enter these battles however they please. The whole theme of Assassin’s Creed 3 revolves around the concept of freedom and by introducing Naval Warfare, Ubisoft is staying true to the word.
The trailer showcases the impact of the surrounding environment that will play a role in these battles, as Connor is seen fighting in the midst of a storm at sea.
Assassin’s Creed 3 is slated for an October 30th 2012 release in North America for the XBOX 360 and PS3 platforms and later on November 23rd 2012 for PC.
