In an inventor’s call earlier this morning, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot dropped word that Assassin’s Creed III will release on October 30. Talk about a fast turnaround time, considering the previous entry – Revelations – hit shelves in November. While details are almost non-existent, Ubi did confirm that the title will star a new protagonist.

Gullemot is touting the title as “the biggest launch in Ubisoft history.” Platform specifics weren’t mentioned, but this makes us wonder if a Wii U version is on the cards.

It’s not clear where the next Assassin’s Creed is headed in terms of setting, but a popular idea being thrown around is the American Revolution. We’ll likely find out for sure come E3 time.
