Assassin's Creed III is a big project for Ubisoft, and the french publisher is definitely pulling out the big guns to promote the game. Today they released the first part of a four-episode documentary that goes behind the scenes of the new chapter of the Assassin's Creed saga.

The video focuses on a wide range of topics, from the engine to the historical research made on the American Revolution period, and of course it includes a large amount of in-game footage.

Personally, while I still doubt that Connor will ever match the charm of Ezio Auditore, I can't help being excited for the game, as the American Revolution has always been an historical period that piqued my interest, and it isn't covered very extensively in games. You can check out the documentary below.
