Now this is what we’re talking about.

Arguably the first major announcement for the PS Vita since after its launch, Game Informer today shed more light on the upcoming enigmatic Assassin’s Creed game for Sony’s beleaguered handheld: titled Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation, the game stars a female assassin, and the game being set in the period of the French and Indian war. Developed by Ubisoft Sofia, the game allegedly hits the PS Vita the same day as the final chapter in the main AC story arc concludes.

We don’t have official confirmation yet, but it’s only a matter of time. Get ready, folks! The PS Vita’s upswing begins here.
