Looks like internet-based speculation might’ve been onto something this time – following last week’s rumours that Assassin’s Creed III would be set in the American Revolution, leaked artwork from two different sources now looks to confirm all of that.<\/p>\n

The first is a promo image obtained by Kotaku from a Best Buy employee, showing what looks like a Native American kitted out in a pimpin’ white version of 18th century military gear, and brandishing a tomahawk and a flintlock pistol with the original American Revolution’s “Betsy Ross” flag in the background. It really couldn’t be much more specific.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other image, mistakenly published on Game Informer’s website and later yanked, is an, uh, “enhanced” version of Emanual Leutze’s 1851 painting “Washington Crosses the Delaware” (depicting an event from – yes, you guessed it! – the American Revolutionary war), now also featuring the same Native American standing behind Washington and pointing ahead to whatever is on the other side of the river.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All we’re waiting on now is Ubisoft’s official “Oh, you<\/em> guys” announcement.<\/p>\n
