A whole ton of gameplay, plot, character, and other details have been leaked from the next issue of Game Informer.

Game Informer Details - Giant Bomb

This was reposted from NeoGAF who supposedly got the information from the upcoming issue of Game Informer. It lists a ton of information on the new game, including details on who the new character is, the timeline, the places we will go, revamped combat, the size of the map, and more. Here are some highlights:

-New hero called Connor/Ratohnhake:ton (pronounced Ra-doon-ha-gay-doo). He has an English father and Native American mother.

-A new traversal approach that has players leaping and climbing trees and mountain cliffs.

-Uses a new version of the Anvil engine that can "depict thousands of troops engaged in bloody battle" along with highly detailed face close-ups. They later imply that if they used version numbers, they would be like going from Anvil 1.0 -> Anvil 2.0 or something of that nature.

-The main character has thousands of new and unique animations (no carry over from other titles) to support the new combat system.

-The game is set between the years 1753-1783 and is centered around the cities of Boston and New York.

-The map of the Frontier is 1.5 times bigger than the entire map of Brotherhood.

-The Frontier is not empty like in Assassin's Creed 1, but features a third of the game's missions and gameplay content.

-You can hunt animals for resources, and how you kill them effects your reward. A one hit kill on a bear gets you a much more valuable pelt than stabbing it eight times.

-The wilderness traversal plays a big part in the gameplay in the Frontier, allowing you to use trees, cliffs, ledges, and more to set up kills and combat.

-Connor does have a hidden blade.

-In the winter, soldiers will move slowly and stumble about in the snow, and lakes and rivers will freeze over allowing you to go new places. This gives Connor an extra advantage since he can still use the trees and wilderness pretty effectively during this time of year.

-Full synchronization returns, but with major tweaks. Missions have checkpoints, You also get significant rewards for doing these tasks instead of a 100%. "Imagine a leveling system in an RPG, except there's a finite amount of XP to find. The more in-sync you get, the more you fill your sync bar. Within each mission, each activity you complete has a value". You can replay everything to increase your score.

-Don't expect more tower defense.

-The tomahawk and knife are a "constant presence" in battle. They also let you do double counters and multiple takedowns, and you can chain kills.

-There's no more target locking, it just automatically detects your target. Counter/defense are the same button to prevent turtling.

-You can use human shields and other context sensitive moves.

Well, I guess I'm now just as excited for ACIII as I am for Borderlands 2.

This looks frickin awesome!

I especially like this one:

* There will be a level of “grey morality” in the game—the Colonists will not just be the “good guys”, and the British will not just be the “bad guys”.

I'm sure the British will still be portrayed more as the villains though.

Reminds me of that scene in The Patriot where Mel Gibson just goes ape shit crazy on those Red Coats with his tomahawk.

This game should, be the best one yet.

INTRO OF EPICOSITY!! That is just awesome, can't wait for it to come out now. Setting seems a lot nicer than I had actually expected, amazing graphics, and lots of buildings to jump roof-to-roof on. I'm definitely going to pre-order this

No hidden blade? Well thats pretty disappointing. Not too keen on this new Assassin's name either. The rest of the details sound pretty awesome though, can't wait
