In what year was Assassin's Creed III released?

Assassin's Creed III was released in 2012. Ubisoft launched the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October 2012, followed by a Microsoft Windows release in November and a Wii U release in the same period.

The game is set mainly during the American Revolution and follows Ratonhnhaké:ton, known by the name Connor, as he becomes involved in the conflict between the Assassins and Templars. Its historical storyline includes figures such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.

Assassin's Creed III was the fifth major mainline entry, following Assassin's Creed Revelations. It also introduced a new engine, expanded wilderness environments, naval missions, and the modern-day character Desmond Miles' concluding storyline. The year is sometimes confused with the release dates of the broader Assassin's Creed III: Liberation spin-off or later remastered editions.
