Assassin’s Creed 3: The Tyranny of King Washington Trailer Showcases Eagle Powers

Another day, another Assassin’s Creed video. This one looks at another set of powers you’ll be wielding in the episodic DLC The Tyranny of King Washington – the one where George chooses the Dark Side – for Ubisoft Montreal’s Assassin’s Creed 3.

The Power of the Eagle allows you to leap or “fly” some distance ahead of your usual jump radius. It’s useful for getting to those hard to reach crevices or just when you want to cover ground faster (its use looks a lot like Dishonored’s Blink power).

There’s also the Eagle Strike, which allows you to rush over to enemies and perform an assassination or two in a heartbeat. It’s quite cool and we’re happy to see that each power in the upcoming DLC has both a general use and awesome attack function.

The first episode of the DLC, titled “The Infamy” is already available on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC with the other two episodes to follow shortly.

Assassin’s Creed 3: The Tyranny of King Washington “Wolf Powers” Trailer Barks at the Moon

Ubisoft Montreal has released a new trailer for the Assassin’s Creed 3 DLC “The Tyranny of King Washington” which shows of the so-called Wolf Powers that you can use in the game.

And quite frankly, we’re trying to figure out which part is more ridiculous.

Connor can use the powers of different animals this time around for certain advantages over his enemies – The Wolf allows him to be cloaked so he can sneak up on and kill enemies without being detected. It’s more ambush than stealth kill though. You can also summon a pack of invisible wolves to wreck damage with this power.

The weird thing is, stealth was never a major factor till now unless it was forced – in which case, you just had to be stealthy. But hey, if Solid Snake eventually needed it, then maybe so will you.

Assassin’s Creed 3: The Tyranny of King Washington’s first episode, “The Infamy” is already available for Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U.
