Have you been asking yourself how Assassin's Creed 3 can work while being set in the American Revolution? A game that's practically defined by the ability to climb large buildings throughout all of the cities with multiple paths of escape? Well these new screenshots should answer some of those questions, or at the very least give some insight.

So are we looking at a hybrid Robin Hood / Native American at one with nature? It would certainly seem so. This might turn out to be the most interesting game in the series thus far if for no other reason than being the first big departure for the series. In other news how does this stuff keep leaking online? Check out the screenshots after the break.
