Assassin's Creed III's Connor (aka Ratohnhaké:ton) may wear the Order's robe and perch on rooftops, but that doesn't mean he's a clone of his Animus ancestors. In fact, as these newly leaked screenshots from Ubisoft's sequel suggest, Ezio and Altair could learn a lot about rocking the Tomahawk and pistol from their 18th century descendant. See for yourself in the gallery above.

The new images were spotted on NeoGAF and look to be a mix of CGI stills and touched-up screenshots. Regardless, if the final build is anything like the images depicted – and Ubisoft is being truthful when it says this game has been in development for nearly three years (read: Assassin's Creed III coming October 30) – fans are in for a treat.

This week, Ubisoft revealed Assassin's Creed III's multiplayer was assigned to Ubisoft Annecy, the same studio responsible for crafting the frag modes in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and contributing to the multiplayer in Assassin's Creed: Revelations. If these single player campaign images are any indication, we can expect equally pretty things from Connor's online adventures.
