Assassin's Creed III

Set in Colonial America during the American Revolution, the game follows two main characters: Haytham Kenway, a Templar who travels to America after killing an Assassin, and Connor, his son who grows up as an Assassin. The player experiences the story of both characters, from Haytham's arrival in Boston to Connor's childhood with the Mohawk tribe.

Next to the main storyline, there are various optional missions and tasks that can be found by exploring the environment. The fighting system uses melee and ranged weapons, and counterattacks have been introduced. The game also features a free running movement system, new hunting and trapping mechanics, and building and managing a settlement called Davenport Homestead.

There is also a three-tier notoriety system, where becoming incognito involves running away and hiding, but also tearing down wanted posters and bribing town criers. The player can also engage in hunting and trapping animals to sell their skin, and participate in naval campaigns on the Eastern seaboard with Connor as the captain of a ship.

Additional challenges are unlocked by joining clubs such as hunting, brawling, and thieving, and completing quests like liberating districts from Templar influence. The game also features multiplayer modes, including cooperative Wolfpack mode and Domination team mode.

In the Wii U version, the gamepad is used to display the in-game map and players can also use it to equip different weapons quickly.
