Assassin's Creed III confirmed for October release


Back in November, a week before Assassin's Creed: Revelations was due in stores, we told you that developers Ubisoft had already planned another instalment. Now we have more details, and a release date, for the upcoming Assassin's Creed III.

The game will fall sooner than usual for the series, which has enjoyed a November release for the past few yearly instalments. The threequel, which is actually the fifth Assassin's Creed game, is set for release on 30th October 2012.

"We will push the title a lot, because it's a fantastic product that the team has been working on for three years," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. "What we have seen is just fabulous."

With the length of time the developers have invested in this instalment, which has been under production since Assassin's Creed II in 2009, here's hoping for a complete series revamp, unlike previous games Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (2010) and Assassin's Creed: Revelations (2011) - which simply added a handful of minor improvements.

Though the climax of Revelations suggests otherwise, it'd be nice to see a new assassin, perhaps in Victorian England (as we've suggested a few times in Creed articles - are you listening, Ubisoft?).
