Which Assassin's Creed game features the American Revolution as its main historical setting?

Assassin's Creed III features the American Revolution as its main historical setting.

Released in 2012, the game follows Ratonhnhaké:ton, a Mohawk Assassin commonly known by the name Connor. His story unfolds in the American colonies during the eighteenth century and includes Boston, New York, and a rural frontier region.

The narrative intersects with major events and figures from the Revolutionary period, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Charles Lee. Connor's personal history connects the Mohawk community, colonial society, and the wider Assassin-Templar conflict.

The title can be confused with Assassin's Creed Liberation, which shares a broad eighteenth-century North American context but focuses on Aveline in Louisiana. Assassin's Creed III is also the first numbered game to feature naval missions, a feature later expanded substantially in Black Flag.
