Assassin’s Creed III reveal due on Monday

It’s fast becoming the worst kept secret in gaming, but Ubisoft will soon officially lift the lid on Assassin’s Creed III.

In case you didn’t already know, the game will be set during the American Revolution. The setting was first revealed by rumours, then this morning’s leaked promotional image and now the official packshot (see below).

But that’s all your getting for now. Ubisoft has teased that the full reveal won’t be until next week.

"We confirm that Ubisoft will announce all the details of Assassin’s Creed III on Monday, March 5th at 5pm," a Ubisoft statement said.

Quite what’s left to reveal, we’re not sure. Presumably the new Assassin’s name, story details and a more concrete release date – the current release window is October.

The packshots reveal the game will be released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. While Ubisoft has previously said an Assassin’s Creed game will be coming to Wii U, there is no mention of such a version here. This could of course be down to the fact that no packshot design has been confirmed for Nintendo’s new console.
