There are some interesting new additions to scope out, including a potentially cool post-match executions.

It's been four years since we've gotten a new 'Far Cry' game. 'Crysis' has kept the folks at Crytek busy, but Ubisoft Montreal has picked up the reigns for 'Far Cry 3.'

The first in-game multiplayer footage has been revealed and there are a few cool things that you're not going to find in every game. For starters, clicking the left and right thumbsticks in gives a boost to the players around you which varies in effect.

Another cool feature is that after each round, the winning team will be put into a scene with the top player of the losing team and must decide to let them live or to kill them. New animations can be unlocked as you progress.

It's only going to increase, with Ubisoft gearing up its biggest marketing campaign yet.

There's no question that 'Assassin's Creed III' is going to be a big game. It's easily one of the most anticipated titles of 2012, but it's popularity is surprising even Ubisoft. Months before its October releases, 'Assassin's Creed III' has already exceeded the amount of preorders made for 'Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.'

Ubisoft says that by E3, 'Assassin's Creed III' will be the company's most preordered game ever, surpassing the numbers set by 'Assassin's Creed: Revelations,' which it already has a good start on.

And of course, that number is only going to get higher, as Ubisoft is boasting that the company's biggest marketing campaign yet will soon be underway.

The company has not yet said what, if anything, will be changing from the 360, PC and PS3 versions.

We haven't heard much about game development for the Wii U yet, but Ubisoft has confirmed that it's going to bring 'Assassin's Creed 3' to the system. What's particularly interesting is that they said 'Assassin's Creed 3' and not just 'Assassin's Creed,' which seems to say that they're bringing over the full game and not just a similar game set in the same environment.

It's going to be really interesting to see what happens with the Wii U version and what kinds of controls are used. Hopefully we'll see more soon.

A Bevy of 'Assassin's Creed III' Info Revealed in Game Informer Scans

Mon Mar 05, 2012 at 11:30 AM ET
Tags: Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed III, Ubisoft (all tags)

The game includes notable historical figures, a massive map and a new way of taversing it.

There are few games more hotly anticipated than 'Assassin's Creed III,' and the latest information reveal is likely just going to get people more excited. We already know that it's set during the mid to late 1700s, but the latest issue of Game Informer reveals so much more.

For starters, there will be a whole new way of traversing terrain. Much of the game will take place in the wilderness, so the usual method of scaling buildings won't work out. Instead, you'll be climbing trees and leaping off of cliffs to evade foes.

Combat is all about offense and momentum - no standing around waiting to reposte an attack. You'll be able to use the terrain to your advantage to set up attacks and, of course, you'll still have a hidden blade at your disposal.

'Assassin's Creed III' Art Reveals American Revolution Setting

Game Informer's latest cover may also give us a look at an assassin of native American descent.

There's no definite answer to what we're getting with'Assassin's Creed III,' but at least we have a setting. The game will be taking place in the latter half of the 18th century, during the American Revolution.

The new Game Informer cover not only gives us a look at the setting, but drops a few hints about our protagonist. He - and the pronoun "he" seems like a fair bet - is shown cropping on a rock holding both a pistol and a tomahawk, weapons that define two sides of a significant conflict.

If we want to get into over analysis territory, this could imply that our hero is half American and half native, with the weapons being representations of his desire to embrace both ancestries. Of course, they could also just be two cool things you'll get to use in the game.
