Assassin’s Creed III might be the fifth main entry in the franchise with several more entries worth of supplementary material, however Ubisoft U.K. media director Rob Cooper thinks that the new setting and hero make it a perfect point to join the series. He also thinks that the game will be able to stand toe-to-toe with the heavy hitters in the final part of the year, including Resident Evil 6, Halo 4 and the next Call of Duty.
“This is a great time for gamers to join the adventure. There’s a huge will from Ubisoft to bring more gamers into this universe,” said Cooper. “Assassin’s Creed III is the biggest and most ambitious launch in Ubisoft’s history so we absolutely believe this game will continue to grow the franchise.”
“This is a huge investment for us and we’re extremely confident that together, all these factors will put us in pole position to compete against the other titles this Christmas,” he concluded.
