Some new screenshots were leaked showing some gameplay mechanics for Assassin’s Creed III. The game seems to hint at ambushing, tree climbing and some form of hunting wildlife. Hit the jump to read up about it!
Via GameTrailers:
In them, we see the game’s protagonist stalking game, high up in a tree and ambushing what appears to be a Colonial Officer.
At first glace, my thought was that the officer pictured in our top image might be Benedict Arnold, the infamous traitor who, before accepting payment to join the British side, was a Colonial General of some repute.
Whether the man pictured is actually General Arnold remains to be seen. Much more certain: ACIII’s assassin won’t just be killing Red Coats.
Tree climbing would seem to be assuming much of the platforming load in ACIII, as 18th Century America wasn’t exactly brimming with old-world buildings to scale, such as those seen in the series’ previous entries. So we may have a lead on some of the game’s parkour-related tweaks.
As for the deer hunting, your guess is as good as mine. It’s possible the game’s hero needs to hunt to regain health. If so, the world would have to be pretty well-populated with game. Perhaps hunting works as a means to improve the hero’s skills? Maybe our Native American assassin does some crafting with the pelts / other bits of the animals. Buck horns as weapons? Skins as armor?
