Assassin’s Creed III packshots revealed, confirm American Revolution setting

Ubisoft has revealed the official cover arts for Assassin’s Creed II, and they look fantastic (given below). They show the main character of the game, leaked earlier today, stabbing a poor bastard, with a machete in one hand. More interestingly. they also pretty much confirm the previously rumoured American Revolution setting for the game. Just have a look at the flag in the background.

Also, it seems that the game will be released on all three platforms- Xbox 360, PS3 and PC- at the same time, since packshots for all three have been revealed.
