Assassin's Creed 3 features hinted atAn Ubisoft survey suggests that the publisher is looking into a number of fresh innovations for the next game in the Assassin's Creed franchise, including new customisation options, crafting features and a different lead character.
The
survey, conducted by Global Market Insite, asks participants to what degree they would welcome the following features in a follow-up to the excellent Assassin's Creed Brotherhood:
* An upgrade to the assassin's blade that increases the fluidity and speed of free-running
* An enhanced Eagle Vision: see the patrol paths of guards, spot clues to complex navigation puzzles, detect when characters are lying during interrogations, etc.
* An intuitive crafting tool that lets you create custom bombs from dozens of ingredients found throughout the game world
* Tactical use of a variety of bombs suited to unique contexts and situations (smoke, poison, flash, explosive, etc.)
* An additional objective where you and your Assassins guild fight against the Templars to gain control of a city, district by district
* Playing as a new Assassin, in a different historical time period
* A continuation of Ezio's story as the leader of the Assassins, set outside of Italy
* Deeper connectivity between all the Assassin's Creed projects (eg. an action you make on the Facebook game will impact your game experience on the console; events that you read about in the comics will be related to the storyline of the videogames, etc.)
* Online Cooperative Mode
* Offline Cooperative Mode
* The availability of new maps for the Multiplayer
* A choice of additional Multiplayer characters with new skill-sets
* Playing new Multiplayer modes
* A deeper team-based Multiplayer experience (guilds / squads that have common objectives, new tools for clan management, etc.)
* A customization of the Multiplayer experience (logos, avatars, objects, team names, etc.)
Ubisoft recently revealed that there will be a new Assassin's Creed game in 2011, so you won't have to wait too long to find out which, if any, of these features make the cut.
