Having been in development for the last 2-3 years and promising big changes to the formula, we’re expecting a lot from Assassin’s Creed 3. Maybe to the point of being unreasonable. But that’s just how it is, given the track record of this fantastic series.

So given below are nine things we thing Assassin’s Creed 3 simply must implement in order to meet those lofty expectations, that not just us, but everybody probably has.

Enjoy the article, and give us your feedback in the comments section below!

Connor should be a badass

From what we’ve seen so far, Connor is a pretty interesting character. He’s supposed to be quiet, stoic, and like every other assassin, really agile and skilful. Born in a backdrop of death and violence, he’s the perfect fit for the role of an assassin, and going back from the charm and open-mouthedness of Ezio to the stoicism and mysterious aura of Altair is sure going to be awesome.

More focus on Desmond

Desmond has been a pretty awesome character ever since his introduction in the first game, and so it is that we find the lack of his screentime so baffling and confusing. I mean, the story’s basically focussed on him and his exploits, and yet, he rarely gets to be in the spotlight. We want Assassin’s Creed 3 to have a larger focus on Desmond, maybe even more than Connor. His story has been developing nicely over the past four games, and seeing it culminating into the ending is going to be very exciting.

Answer all the burning questions

Assassin’s Creed is, perhaps, the video game equivalent of Lost in terms of the questions it raises and how it rarely answers them. Okay, maybe not that much, but since Assassin’s Creed 1, Ubisoft has raised a crapload of questions and answered very few of them. I mean, what the hell was Revelation’s ending about anyway? Sure, it was exciting and thrilling, but we have no idea what the hell it actually means. There’s a lot of unanswered questions left in the Assassin’s Creed universe, and we just hope Ubisoft can answer them all properly (without any rush) in one single game.

Desmond’s role has been growing gameplay-wise and story-wise with each successive instalment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Except for Revelations, of course. But with the story coming to an end and this being the last time Desmond makes an appearance, he’s going to have more screen time than he’s ever had in the past, Ubisoft says.

“All I can say about Desmond’s story is you’re going to experience more Desmond than you’ve ever had before,” Ubisoft’s lead writer Matt Turner told CVG. “It’s a big part of our story and I don’t really want to give too many details away because I want people to experience what that is. But rest assured, you’re going to see a lot of Desmond. More so than in any past game.”

Assassin’s Creed 3 releases later this year for the Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U. Stay tuned for continued coverage.

Ubisoft has announced that the third entry in their super-successful Assassin’s Creed franchise is set to become the most pre-ordered game in the firm’s history.

After just three weeks of being officially revealed, Assassin’s Creed 3 has already crossed the life-to-date pre-order sales of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood in the US. It has been pre-ordered more than Assassin’s Creed Revelations was in the same period of time. In fact, no Ubisoft game has been pre-ordered as much in three weeks as AC3.

Assassin’s Creed 3 is set to cross the total pre-order sales of the most pre-ordered Ubisoft game, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, by E3 this June.

Assassin’s Creed III releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on October 30. It has also been confirmed for the Wii U, but a release date is as of yet unspecified.

Stay tuned for more info.
