In addition to the night and day cycle from previous games, there will be a full weather and season system implemented. Snow and rain are be a part of the game. One thing that Ubisoft said was that snow will play a big part in the way Connor moves around. If there is almost a foot of snow on the ground, then Connor's movement will be hindered. The ending of Assassin's Creed: Revelations found Desmond in the wilderness.
I kept that secret on lock down Lots of Hutchinson's changes revolve around the game's pacing - such as forcing the completion of modern day missions throughout the story so they don't stack up to the end, pushing the naval missions more, and laying out a path through the charming Homestead missions so people see more of the human side of Connor. Aside from the edits, Hutchinson reflected on how much in AC3 there was to be proud of - for example, the culturally appropriate casting of Connor and extensive use of Native American language, the fact the tomahawk weapon worked well, and the fact the game has the most assassination types of any in the series.

During one of these lectures, Desmond reveals that Lucy's death by his hand was no accident and that he chose to kill her after the Apple of Eden revealed she intended to take the Apple to Abstergo Industries.
When a third power cell is located in Cairo , Egypt , William offers to recover it while Desmond continues to search Connor's memories for the key to the Grand Temple's inner barrier. In response, Desmond infiltrates the laboratories, where he encounters Daniel again.
As Daniel corners Desmond, the Templar begins to suffer from the Bleeding Effect , as a result of being "raised" in an Animus and reliving the memories of his ancestors, Nikolai and Innokenti Orelov , for extended periods of time.
Daniel then flees from the room in a panic, with Desmond in pursuit. After a short chase, Desmond assassinates Daniel and confronts Vidic in his office, where he uses the Apple to kill the Templar and his guards. Desmond then rescues William and uses the Apple to lead them safely from the facility.
Once he returned to the Animus, Desmond observes as Connor pursues Lee once more. After eavesdropping on a ship's captain to ascertain Lee's location, Connor chases Lee through a vessel under construction that has been set ablaze. The two come to a stalemate after falling through a section of the ship, and Connor is impaled at the waist by a broken piece of wood.
Lee asks Connor why he continues to persist, even though the Templar Order follows a cycle of their power waxing and waning. Connor replies "Because no one else will," and shoots Lee in the chest, preventing the Templar from finishing him off. A badly wounded Lee then escapes across a nearby lake via a ferry, with an injured Connor in pursuit. Finally, Connor finds Lee in a pub, and the pair shares a last drink before Connor stabs Lee lethally in the chest.
Connor takes the medallion from Lee's body, and several months later, he returns to his tribe's village only to find they have moved elsewhere. He then locates the crystal sphere, presumably left behind for him to find. In the vision that it shows him, Juno reappears and instructs him to hide the medallion where no one else will find it. Connor does so, burying the medallion in the grave of Connor Davenport , Achilles' deceased son and his namesake. Now with the knowledge of the medallion's location, Desmond retrieves it and uses it to access the confines of the Temple.
Here, he and the others find Juno's apparition, who instructs Desmond to activate a pedestal which will save the world from the ongoing solar flares. However, Minerva 's apparition suddenly appears and reveals that by doing as Juno says, Desmond will die and free Juno from captivity, allowing her to begin her conquest of the world. She explains that Juno was sealed long ago during the war between the First Civilization and humanity when she plotted to use the machines designed to save the world against it.
Minerva, prodded by Juno, then shows Desmond that if the Sun were to unleash its power on the world, he and a small collective of humans would survive to repopulate the world. He would become a religious icon in this new world, but his words would be mistranslated and lead the world to continue a perpetual cycle of destruction. Believing the world would stand a better chance fighting against Juno, Desmond instructs the others to leave and prepare for the oncoming struggle.
Desmond then activates the pedestal, taking his life and saving the world. From there, Juno appears and tells Desmond that his part has ended and that her time has come. In an epilogue, Connor takes down the Templar portraits in the Davenport Manor's basement and burns them, signifying the end of his journey. In addition, his return to his village is detailed further, showing he spoke to a hunter there, who revealed that the land had been sold to settlers in order to settle the new United States government's war debts.
Connor also travels to the pier in New York, where he witnesses the last of the British Regulars leave America for good. However, he also sees evidence of the slave trade present in the newly formed nation, right next to the pier of citizens cheering at the departure of the British.
Ubisoft Annecy, who developed the multiplayer components for Brotherhood and Revelations , along with Ubisoft Bucharest, were tasked with bringing multiplayer back with this installment.
There is a new cooperative mode named Wolfpack , where 1 to 4 players are tasked with killing certain NPCs during a time limit, through a sequence of 25 stages. Another feature is the addition of Domination , a team mode, where players of the Animus games console need to capture areas of the virtual map they are designated, before protecting them from the opposite team. Unlike the previous multiplayer section featured in Brotherhood and Revelations , which was presented in-game as a training initiative for Abstergo recruits, the multiplayer of Assassin's Creed III is shown as a product of Abstergo Industries' entertainment branch , as a way of influencing the general public through a games console adapted with the Animus' technology.
The three additional characters, introduced via downloadable content , are as follows:. All of these maps have different variations, some featuring rain or snow, and others set during day, evening, or night. Following the official reveal, Ubisoft announced incentives for gamers who pre-ordered Assassin's Creed III from Amazon, GameStop, or BestBuy, in the form of a free steelbook casing that featured artwork by renowned comic book artist Alex Ross.
Assassin's Creed III also has four missions exclusive to the PS3 and PC platforms, which have been available for download since the game's launch date. Following this, the Xbox version of the game comes in a two-disc set.
The first disc contains the single-player portion of the gameplay, while the second disc is required for multiplayer. This article has yet to be sourced.
Clearly, the banner attraction is Connor and the lure of exploring vast swathes of colonial America. You won't see Desmond in any of the game's TV adverts, and the most I saw of him during an earlier press preview event was his face on the Animus loading screen. The game's marketing also portrays the game as a more US-friendly, British-killing bloodbath, despite the actual tale being far more measured. Patriot leader George Washington is vilified for being weak, and blamed for the slaughter of Connor's village.
It makes sense for the structure of the series' plot that whatever comes next - Assassin's Creed 4 or another Connor sequel - will break free from the intricacies of Desmond's storyline. Desmond's end is an acknowledgement of the fact he's become a hangover. Still, the writers do their best to justify his demise within the game's narrative. It has to be Desmond who activates Juno's First Civilisation machine due to his rare lineage, a perfect distilling of the First Civilisation bloodline inherited from his ancestors.
Genetically there's no one else in the world that's better matched. We're also told why Desmond was forced to make such a last-minute decision, one he couldn't refuse: Juno is shown to have been manipulating humans for hundreds if not thousands of years to reach this eventual outcome via the Pieces of Eden - fragments from her lost civilisation.
No one has found the Grand Temple before now allowing work to start on an alternative solution because it has been deliberately hidden. This is seen in the protection once given to the place by Connor's tribe, themselves holders of a Piece. Alternative solutions to the apocalypse once existed, Desmond is told. This rare slice of exposition about the First Civilisation also answers a number of questions.
They attempted to halt the solar flare cycle in their day by building towers to absorb its power, erecting an energy shield, using the enjoined minds of beings under the influence of Pieces of Eden, by predicting the future to communicate with later races about a solution, and by transforming themselves through bio-engineering and via transcendence - the ability to remove their consciousness from their bodies.
Transcendence is how Juno preserved herself in the Grand Temple walls, while her race's ability to divine the future explains how she and others are able to project interactive visions of themselves to appear. Juno is able to dissipate the flare using the radiation-absorbing towers - she mentions that work on these was restarted in secret for use at a later time.
Finally, you could imagine that the reason a human lineage has select First Civilisation abilities such as Eagle Vision is due to an extension of the bio-engineering plans. Despite all the house-clearing, there are a number of elements yet to be explained. Juno's successful escape sets up a powerful future antagonist, while the villainous organisation Abstergo is also still shown to be a threat.
A voice heard as players re-enter the Animus appears to be from a Templar technician hacking into an imprint of Desmond's memories, sequenced when the young assassin was held at the facility.
It's a narrative trick for allowing players to continue free-roaming after Desmond is dead, but the indication that the Templars can now access this information without a living subject draws into question whether the next Assassin's Creed game will even need a contemporary protagonist in the same way.
