Assassin's Creed III is an upcoming game being developed by Ubisoft set for release on October 30–31, 2012. It will feature a new setting (Colonial United States of America), as well as a new protagonist: a half Native American, half British man named Connor (his Mohawk Indian Tribe name being Ratohnhaké:ton ) Kenway. The game will feature 30 years of Connor's life from 1753 to 1783 and feature the cities of Boston and New York, as well as a wilderness area known as the Frontier in which 1/3 of missions will take place. Ubisoft has stated that the game will be bigger than its previous installments; the Frontier alone will be 1.5 times bigger than Rome from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. As of 2012, Ubisoft had worked on the title for three years. It will also be 20% longer than Assassin's Creed II (A minimum playthrough time of 30 hours).

The game will feature some real historical figures (in much the same way Niccolo Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci appear in the Ezio games). George Washington and Benjamin Franklin will be featured in the new Assassin's Creed III. There will also be new weapons, such as the tomahawk/axe, dual pistols, rope dart, musket, and the bow and arrow. The classic Assassin's Blade is also able to pivot as a dagger, though this is switchable.

Assassin's Creed III will feature new weather simulations such as snow, fog, and rain. Depending on the seasons, weather will determine how the Templars and soldiers will move around with heavy Winter snows making it more difficult to move swiftly.
