Ubisoft's Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation for the PlayStation Vita has been confirmed.
The game was previously outed by an online retailer, and Game Informer has solidified the listing by having a preview on the unannounced title in their latest magazine issue. It's apparently due for an October 30th 2012 launch, which is when its console counterpart Assassin's Creed 3 releases in North America. Other details stemming from a NeoGAF member are as follows:
- Location is New Orleans
- Female assassin named Aveline of mixed heritage
- Looks like same time period as AC3
- Ubisoft Sofia is developing
- Takes place between 1765-1780 in the period between the end of the French and Indian war
- "True AC gameplay”
- Will not connect to Desmond
- Will have “multiplayer specifically tailored to the Vita experience”
- “The game has been released as a propaganda tool by Abstergo, who want players to experience a gray area of the Assassin/Templar conflict as an assassin rather than a Templar”
- Aveline’s mentor is an escaped slave named Agate, leader of the assassins in New Orleans
- Wildlife like alligators “wait on the banks of the swamp or hide beneath murky waters”
- To take players “across the Gulf into Mexico”
