The freedom afforded to Ubisoft by shaking off the shackles of historical accuracy has enabled the development team to focus less on ticking the boxes when it comes to featuring each and every one of the major players in the American Revolutionary War, and more on quickly creating a truly evil villain and setting up a dilemma that the player must overcome. This whole setup leads to a much more action-driven storyline, where danger lurks around every corner and the threat of Washington and his army is a very tangible one that is on your doorstep – rather than the secret plots and clandestine affairs found in the Ezio Assassin’s Creed titles. He seems to remember some of what he went through in the main Assassin’s Creed game, and is obviously shocked when he learns of the events that have transpired – especially the fact that his Mother is alive and well and has put their whole tribe in danger through a failed attempt to steal the Apple of Eden from Washington. No longer does he blend in as a cultured Native American who walks among the European settlers, but rather he awakes in The Infamy as a more “traditional” North American Indian, with his native name: Ratonhnhaké:ton. In this reality, George Washington has acquired the Apple of Eden and has been corrupted by its power, declaring himself King of America and taking it upon himself to oppress the Native population and destroy all those in his way.Ĭonnor, too, is different.

The Tyranny of King Washington is set in an alternative “what if” storyline, where two paths have diverged.

Well, Ubisoft have had a revelation, and are looking to change how they do Assassin’s Creed add-ons with their first story-based DLC for the title. That may be partially due to the fact that by adding on individual missions – which most gamers will only play after having completed everything else on offer in the game, and which won’t have any major effect on the story in any way – the DLC up to now has all seemed a bit light and insignificant.
