HOLY FUCK

Ubisoft has finally put a stop to the speculation that's been surrounding Assassin's Creed III's lead character and setting, by publishing the game's cover art on the official Assassin's Creed Facebook page.

It seems that everything we've seen so far was 100% bona-fide and genuine, as the packshot clearly shows a Native American assassin packing a pistol, a quiver of arrows and a bow, brandishing his assassin-crested tomahawk in the middle of a busy battle.

It's an immensely tantalising glimpse of what's to come in Assassin's Creed III, hinting at muddy battlefields filled with redcoat soldiers, bayonet rifles and all manner of chaos. Will we be waving goodbye to hidden blades and steathy executions? If the frenetic-looking cover shot is any indication, then the answer may well be yes. We await more details with bated breath... Roll on March 5th.

Assassin's Creed III will be striking on October 30th, 2012.
