Some info on the game's central hub, Homestead:

Assassin’s Creed 3 will feature a central hub called the Homestead that protagonist Connor can upgrade and use to trade. Ubisoft has discussed the hub’s features in greater detail.

Speaking with OXM, Assassin’s Creed 3 producer Alex Hutchinson said of the Homestead, “My favorite thing about the Homestead is that in a city, you’re anonymous, you blend into the crowds.”

“But at home, everyone knows your name,” he continued, “They don’t know you’re an assassin, obviously, but they live their lives, going to the tavern – assuming you’ve attracted the Innkeeper. It becomes a beautiful video game train set. But we’re aware that we’re a trading game, and that’s close to German board games.”

Connor’s action can cause new people to take up residence in the Homestead, and he can also fulfill errands for them, unlocking new crafting recipes for his trouble.

In a bid to make the Homestead feel organic, Hutchinson’s team made the village’s residents go about their daily lives convincingly, “The guys were saying there are 35 people in your Homestead, and each one has around eight activities, with some of the most complex animation we've ever built – and no-one will see it!”

There’s one animation where the butcher takes apart a pig, and you can watch it for two minutes. There’s definitely some showing off going on,” he concluded.

This game just sounds better and better, and only a few weeks left to go!

**Morganator** · 10-01-2012

Dammit. If I wasn't so poor at the moment, I'd have had this game on pre-order already.

Wow that homestead thing sounds pretty cool.

I really like the part where they talk about the engine. Some impressive stuff.

Promotional art for the DLC, The Tyranny of King Washington:

Assassin’s Creed 3 will have a Season Pass, as previously reported, and Ubisoft has provided information on the matter along with the running theme of the games DLC – which tells an alternate history to the fledgling nation of America.

The Season Pass will grant purchasers access to five forthcoming DLC packs for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Downloadable content will feature “The Tyranny of King Washington”, an all-new single-player campaign available as a continual episodic story through three DLCs that will “let players experience an alternate history of the American Revolution.”

Here’s the synopsis:

“It’s 1783. As the revolution comes to a close, a new and most unexpected enemy emerges. Driven by the desire to secure the fate of the colonies, George Washington, the greatest hero of the revolution, succumbs to the temptation of infinite power. The new King is born and his reign leaves no one untouched. To return freedom to the land, our new hero Connor must dethrone a tyrant he once called friend.”

In addition to the new single player experience, the downloadable content will feature new maps and characters for multiplayer as well as other single-player missions.

“History is our playground, and Assassin’s Creed teams have always loved playing with historical facts and their consequences as a way to better understand a time period.” said Sebastien Puel, executive producer at Ubisoft.

“While Assassin’s Creed 3 concentrates on history as it happens, we wanted to take some liberties with this DLC and tell you how things ‘could have happened.’”

Assassin’s Creed 3 DLC is scheduled for release during a six month period after the game launch, and the Season Pass will run you 2400 Microsoft points and £23.99 XBL and PSN, respectively.

The Season Pass is now available for purchase on the PS Store and will be available from October 31 on Xbox 360 and from November 22 for PCs.

All Assassin’s Creed 3 DLCs will also be available for the Wii U.

I really want this game now...

**Two4DaMoney** · 10-03-2012

I can't wait to play this but I'll hold out a few more weeks. Catch it on sale for black friday. Plus I want that dlc.

**THUGGEDOUT** · 10-04-2012

This game just sounds better each time new info comes out on it...

**Kuro** · 10-04-2012

Killing George Washington? Wow..something.

**admartian** · 10-04-2012

George Washinton getting killed? Don't see many Yank players doing this. (cue: the US media going nuts over this come launch day: "Founding Father Killed in Videogame!").

**Blacksite** · 10-04-2012

Take a closer look at Connor in this new trailer:

It's pretty awesome.

**Blacksite** · 10-06-2012

A lot of new screenshots and concept art:

**DarkVincent07** · 10-09-2012

So the season pass is out... and its $49.95 AUD... which is pretty much $50 US. What the ACTUAL fuck do they plan on releasing? :/

I won't get it now (the season pass, still want the game just clarifying) and I definitely am turned off DLC

So far it's just three parts to the Kill George Washington story, multiplayer maps and characters...

**Ghost-Rhayne** · 10-09-2012

Man if the season pass is that much, it makes me wish I could wait for the inevitable goty edition. No way in hell is that happening lol.

**DarkVincent07** · 10-09-2012

Yeah I think I'll just get the game
And not bother with any DLC... It's no doubt useless to the main storyline

These season passes are getting ridiculous. People need to start speaking with their wallets. This game just became a rental. Then later down the road I'll buy the GOTY edition with all the DLC on it.
