Durand says he even researched and put to use some of the curse words popular at that time.Īll in all, Durand says 10 to 15 times more research went into this game's history than went into any other Assassin's Creed game. The result: "If you just stand and look around the city of Boston for example, it will feel like you’re actually there in that time period," he said. He says he did so much research that, during that time, he compiled 160 gigabytes of historical documents, images and data as reference.Īnd it wasn't just the look of the cities and landscapes of time period that he and the team at Ubisoft tried to build into "Assassin's Creed 3." They tried to make the people that players encounter in the game - both the famous and the everyday kind - as realistic as possible, down to the vocabulary they used, the clothes they wore and the jobs they performed during that era. With that in mind, he spent two and a half years extensively researching the period. "The goal was to make the game as historically accurate as possible," Maxime Durand, a historian hired to work on the game, told me in a recent interview. And while gamers will play the entirely fictional Connor Kenway - the son of a Native American mother and British father bent on revenge and freedom - they will also meet very real figures from history such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Paul Revere. Not only did they build digital versions of locales from Boston to New York, they take us to the wild American frontier and various colonial settlements.
For "Assassins' Creed 3," which launches today, the developers at Ubisoft are taking players to the colonial America of the mid-to-late 1700s where they have gone to great lengths to recreate real-world locations from the Revolutionary War in highly accurate period detail.
