Ubisoft formally introduces us to the game, making sure we know it’s not a spin off, but a title built from the ground up for Sony’s portable console. All the details, including, setting, time period and key features are below. New screens too.
Via Press Release
“Introducing Assassin’s Creed III Liberation, the stunning new chapter in the Assassin’s Creed saga, designed exclusively for PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system.
The year is 1765. As the events leading up to the American Revolution heat up in the north, Spanish forces plan to take control of Louisiana in the south – but they have yet to reckon with Aveline, a deadly Assassin who will use every weapon and ability in her arsenal to win freedom for her land and her people. Whether silently eliminating her enemies with slow-motion chain kills or luring them into deadly traps, Aveline strikes mortal fear into the hearts of those who stand in her way.
As an Assassin, Aveline soon finds herself on an unforgettable journey that will take her from the crowded streets of New Orleans to voodoo-haunted swamps and ancient Mayan ruins. She will play a pivotal role in the turbulent birth of a new nation as she fights for freedom, not only for herself, but for her fellow citizens.”

still waiting to see the series trademarks ubisoft!
this is EXACTLY why i was so worried when they announced it would be set in the american revolution!
a game that is famous for its sword play, stealth, historical monuments, beautiful architecture, and massive historical buildings the player can traverse!
ALL the things the american revolution IS NOT!
in fact they could not have gone any further the other way!
this looks allot more a new IP than it does a AC game!
