How Assassin's Creed III Re-created the Revolutionary War

The Assassin's Creed franchise is known for some of the tightest melee combat in video games. It's also known for historical accuracy, and the third installment is no exception.

Assassin's Creed III unfolds between about 1753 and 1783, during several pivotal moments leading up to and including the Revolutionary War. You'll experience the chaos of the Boston Tea Party and become cannon fodder during the Battle of Bunker Hill.

The game, which comes out this October, is not just using the American Revolution as a set piece for blood and gore. Ubisoft's goal was to put you on the battlefield and re-create the war with more historical accuracy than you might expect. How will the developers accomplish this?
