Assassin's Creed III has been announced by Ubisoft.

The announcement came during a conference call with investors today, during which the game's release date was also revealed for October 30, 2012.

"We will push the title a lot because it's a fantastic product that the team has been working on for three years," Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot told investors. "What we have seen is just fabulous."

The game was announced as Assassin's Creed III, suggesting a new setting and characters, though no details have been revealed at this point. Rumours have suggested the next game in the series could take place in America during The American Revolutionary War.

Guillemot has previously hinted that the next Assassin's Creed title will be the "biggest to date".

Assassin's Creed: Revelations was released last November, building on the story and characters from Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

Assassin's Creed III will arrive on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 30.
