Assassin's Creed III

THE BUZZ: Ubisoft has announced its official line-up for PAX East, which includes the first public showing of Assassin’s Creed III.

The publisher will also be bringing Far Cry 3, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and a number iOS titles.

An exclusive look at the first footage of Assassin’s Creed III in action will be shown in a fully enclosed theater at the Ubisoft booth during the event, and session attendees will also receive a special Assassin’s Creed III item.

On Friday tattoo artist Suze, will be offering fans a chance to get inked with Far Cry 3 inspired tribal tattoos, and on Saturday and Sunday mohawk stations will be available at the booth should you wish to get something a little less permanent.

At the booth fans will get a chance to play Far Cry 3, Mad Riders, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, I Am Alive and Ghost Recon Online.

EGM’s TAKE: The first showing of Assassin’s Creed! Excited? We certainly are. Ubisoft has a fantastic line-up this year and is probably set to enjoy its most successful fiscal to date, spearheaded by Assassin’s Creed III. Far Cry 3 is shaping up to be another fantastic entry in the series, fixing a lot of the issues players had in the second game and offering more freedom, with a sense of purpose as opposed to just running around all over the place getting lost. Finally Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is set to jump into the giant hole left in the FPS landscape this time of the year, and with its co-op play and futuristic gadgets it should do well.
