Assassin’s Creed III shots leak ahead of embargo

By Brenna Hillier

Someone’s going to get a smack – a pile of gorgeous new Assassin’s Creed III screens have hit the web ahead of schedule.

All Games Beta posted the shots, which have now been picked up by several sites and show off the game’s wilderness environments – a first for the series.

We’ve copied the screens you below. With any luck we’ll have some clean, high resolution versions for you after the official release.

Assassin’s Creed III is due for release in October on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It had its first major media blitz earlier this month and is expected to be further detailed next week.
