Ubisoft To Release Assassin’s Creed III On October 30
Ubisoft will release Assassin’s Creed III on October 30, it said during a call with investors on Wednesday.
Arriving less than one year after the release of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Assassin’s Creed III is expected to star an all-new protagonist in an experience Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said will be “the biggest launch in Ubisoft history.”
Guillemot explained that the developer has been working diligently on the new game for three years, describing what the team has achieved in that time as “fabulous.”
While Ubisoft has yet to reveal where exactly Assassin’s Creed III will take place, the game’s setting has been speculated to be anywhere from Ancient Egypt to the American Revolution. Imagine performing Assassin’s Creed‘s trademark Leap of Faith off the Great Pyramid of Giza. Of course, Assassin’s Creed III‘s storyline will also finally be bringing the story arc of the main Assassin’s Creed trilogy to its long-awaited conclusion.
Ubisoft has not said what platforms for which it will release Assassin’s Creed III, but it will most likely be coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC (and maybe Wii U).
EA to Release Medal of Honor Warfighter in October
Electronic Arts studio Danger Close is currently developing Medal of Honor Warfighter, the sequel to 2010′s military-themed first-person shooter, the company said on Thursday.
Along with the announcement, EA shared an image from the game of a rather angry-looking soldier gripping a rifle, which the company describes as “a visual inspiration and representation of this title.”
EA says it will release Warfighter this October. It is using the Frostbite 2.0 graphics engine to power its visuals, which was also used in Battlefield 3.
Aside from confirming the existence of Warfighter, EA promises to reveal more concrete details about the new game in “the next few weeks.” But if you can’t wait until then, the game is also featured on the front cover of the April 2012 issue of Official Xbox Magazine US, which hits newsstands on March 6.
2010′s Medal of Honor received mixed reviews. Let’s hope that EA addresses some of the previous game’s more glaring issues when it releases Warfighter later this year.
