Now that is out of the way, let's move on. While not much more is given out about the game there is a nice new announcement trailer showing how the new engine is looking. Just to place it out there in layperson terms this whole trailer was made using the game engine and not pre-rendered scenes. While it is not on par with some of the other huge block buster games out there, I do have to say that it is looking like leaps and bounds ahead of the past games.

A few other details that we have heard so far is that the main character's name is Ratohnhaké:ton or Connor for those who can't pronounce his Native American name. Obviously it does take place during the American Revolution but what is interesting is that there is no defined Templar/Assassin siding based on British or American conflicts. Read that as the British are not being set up as the ultimate bad guy here in the game. Lastly is that there looks to be a defined day/night and season dynamic to the game as well. From what has been shown is that we may need to rely on the dark of night to help with the assassinations and not just the tall buildings and crowded streets.

I'll shut up now so you can watch the announcement here. Enjoy as I did.
