Assassin's Creed III: Liberation Trailer Frees Up Awards

While I'm plenty interested in ACIII proper, the Vita has a lot to prove and providing an open-world experience like those found in the Assassin's Creed series is a tall order. Even if the gameplay ends up truncated and diminuitive compared to the console games, there's something in the story for fans.
Aveline is certainly a strong step away from the stoic males we've played as in the series so far. At E3 we discovered that ACIII's Connor would appear in the campaign and that players would also visit Mexico in the game. I'm still scratching my head as to who descended from Aveline and who's in the Animus during Liberation?
I'm pretty excited for this. I've enjoyed the AC series and my Vita so far (two great tastes that will probably taste great together!) and any game where the protagonist isn't white and/or male automatically piques my interest.
My thoughts exactly. Ubisoft is the only developer who would take a risk like that, especially in a franchise they've built to be very masculine-centric.
