presumably tree climbing will feature heavily, could be interesting. Only thing that's putting me off is that there will most likely be a heavy emphasis on killing Brits

EDIT Having said that:

Details revealed include:

The game is set during the American Revolution between 1753 and 1783

Assassin is born of white English father and Native American mother

The Assassin's name is Connor, or Ratohnhaké:ton in native Mohawk tongue

The story focuses on his belonging to neither culture

He takes no sides, and will go after both Americans and British

Both sides portrayed objectively, but Connor chooses to act against tyranny after a family murder

Will be involved in major events of the Revolution (Saratoga, Bunker Hill listed amongst many) but it is his story, not a copy of a story like the movie The Patriot

Key characters will come into play: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Lee and many more

Economy, money, property all overhauled but still under wraps
Den defense from Revelations will not return

Multiplayer will be included but no further information was provided

Aim is to create a next-gen game on current gen

Uses completely overhauled new version of the Anvil Engine

Game has been in production since Assassin's Creed II

Seasons occur, with every place having both a normal and winter version

Combat system completely overhauled, much more fluid

Big focus on offensive style combat due to addition of firearms. Removal of 'target lock' system to prevent 'turtling' tactic.

Climbing trees and traversing a wide area outside of Boston called 'The Frontier' will be a key aspect of the game.

The area of 'The Frontier' is 1.5 times the size of Rome in Brotherhood

'The Frontier' will not be an empty space like the wilderness of Assassin's Creed 1, but will include around a third of quests and gameplay.

Hunting mechanic exists, can skin animals and make money a la Red Dead Redemption

Flintlock weapons appear

Connor can dual wield a hatchet and a knife

Massive battles of 1000+ enemies now possible

Will contain settlements occupied by Americans, British, Mohawk

Big goal is to allow the player to traverse restricted areas without the entire game mechanic causing enemies to get angry

Not sure where that info is from or how accurate it is, I just got it off someone's post on another forum (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show...0#post36601600)
