Enhanced Eagle Vision, faster free-running, and the return of Ezio Auditore da Firenze are but a number possibilities for Assassin’s Creed III, according to a legitimate Ubisoft survey that hit the web this week.
The survey asks participants to rate a range of possible features for the next installment of Assassin’s Creed, and highlights a number of interesting gameplay changes, including Facebook integration, brand new multiplayer modes, and even online cooperative play.
Here, to coin an age-old phrase, is what the survey said:
Would you like to see ____ in the sequel to the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood?
1) An upgrade to the assassin’s blade that increases the fluidity and speed of free-running
2) An enhanced Eagle Vision: see the patrol paths of guards, spot clues to complex navigation puzzles, detect when characters are lying during interrogations, etc.
3) An intuitive crafting tool that lets you create custom bombs from dozens of ingredients found throughout the game world
4) Tactical use of a variety of bombs suited to unique contexts and situations (smoke, poison, flash, explosive, etc.)
5) An additional objective where you and your Assassins guild fight against the Templars to gain control of a city, district by district
6) Playing as a new Assassin, in a different historical time period
7) A continuation of Ezio’s story as the leader of the Assassins, set outside of Italy
8) Deeper connectivity between all the Assassin’s Creed projects (eg. an action you make on the Facebook game will impact your game experience on the console; events that you read about in the comics will be related to the storyline of the videogames, etc.)
9) Online Cooperative Mode
10) Offline Cooperative Mode
11) The availability of new maps for the Multiplayer
12) A choice of additional Multiplayer characters with new skill-sets
