What’s better than one assassin? That’s easy – four<\/em> assassins. This is basic maths, and it’s now also a feature of Assassin’s Creed III.<\/p>\n

According to the game’s Xbox LIVE product listing, it’s going to support up to four players in online co-op, although it’s not clear for the moment how this is actually going to be incorporated. It could be campaign co-op, or it could be… a horde mode? Probably a horde mode.<\/p>\n

That’s not all that’s new this time around, though. If you’ve seen the reveal trailer, you’ll have also seen that everything’s<\/em> different.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to offer something that\u2019s really fresh. We wanted to get outside the cities,\u201d creative director Alex Hutchinson told GameInformer .<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly on we thought okay, if we\u2019re gonna provide not just a new context and a new hero, but a whole new playground, a whole new area to explore, then what better than the American north east?”<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the period in which our game is set, the American Revolution, it\u2019s like this half untouched wilderness where weather and winter is terrifying, where tress and forests are still ancient. There are populations who live out in the woods that haven\u2019t seen western civilisation necessarily. We have all these great features to play with and I think that big chunk on its own is going to feel really fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, for the very first time, you’ll be able to climb trees. Which kind of makes sense, considering you can climb, like, 80-ft minarets in previous games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always thought it was funny that the one thing you couldn\u2019t climb in AC was the one thing I have climbed in real life, which is a tree,\u201d said Hutchinson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019re plenty of games with forests but the forests are just collections of assets, they\u2019re just trees and you walk around them. The fact that it\u2019s a tree doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be a lampost, it could be a box, it could be anything. Whereas if we can make trees and the wilderness as much a playground as Alta\u00efr and Ezio made cities, then I think it\u2019s huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

The game is due out in October 2012.<\/p>\n
