About

Ignite the revolution on the go as the master assassin born of the beauty and the brutality of 18th century America.

Assassin’s Creed III is on Nintendo Switch for the first time and, based on players’ feedback, gameplay mechanics have been improved, with several features being revamped.

The year is 1775. The American colonies are about to revolt. You are Connor, an assassin who has sworn to secure liberty for his people and his nation. To do so, you will hunt your enemies across a staggeringly large, open, and realistic world. You will unleash your lethal skills in a violent quest that will take you from chaotic city streets to blood-soaked battlefields in the hostile American wilderness and beyond. You will meet legendary heroes of American history, and together you will conspire to annihilate those who threaten Liberty itself.

In Assassin’s Creed III Remastered you are the warrior son of a Native American mother and British father. As a bloody revolution draws ever nearer, your clan is threatened by a powerful group seeking to crush the American Revolution and control the thirteen colonies. Shocked into action by the devastation of your village, you pledge your life to the cause of freedom, and embark on a decades-long quest to achieve it.

Assassin’s Creed III Remastered also includes Assassin’s Creed Liberation Remastered, which tells of the unforgettable journey that will take Aveline from the crowded streets of New Orleans to voodoo-haunted swamps and ancient Mayen ruins.

In addition, all solo DLCs from the original game are included: “Benedict Arnold Missions,” “Hidden Secrets,” and “Tyranny of King Washington.”
