{{tropelist}}

* [[An Axe to Grind]]:

** Connor wields a tomahawk with a head in the shape of the Assassin crest.

* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]: Not in the story campaign, but in the multiplayer, players can customize their characters and in capture the artifact mode, the teams have different colors and insignia to tell each other apart.

* [[Competitive Multiplayer]]: There's a multiplayer mode which has some good things, like [[Capture the Flag|Capture the Artifact]], hide and seek, and hunt mode.

* [[Doomed by Canon]]: Charles Lee died in "retirement" in Philadelphia in 1782.

* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Connor's village is destroyed during his early years, leading him to the Assassins in a search for justice.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: The combat system has been revamped to allow Connor to wield multiple weapons and fight with both of them. The promotional art depicts him holding his iconic tomahawk and a pistol.

* [[Elite Mooks]]: Highlanders make an appearance, wielding [[An Axe to Grind|large axes]] and able to counter Connor's guard breaks.

* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: It turns out poorly for the bears -- Connor can fight and kill them and other animals for their pelts. Don't feel bad for them, however; they can ''more'' than hold their own.

* [[Expy]]: Connor and Natty Bumpo from ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'' have a ''lot'' in common.

* [[Gray and Gray Morality]]: Templars and Assassins fight on both sides of the war, and the relative morality of the two factions comes into play to a much greater degree than in Ezio's story. Similarly, neither the Colonials nor the British are portrayed as wholly good or evil; in the official trailer, Connor observes that the Colonials may be in it for their own freedom, but not necessarily for his.

* [[Halfbreed]]: Connor's father was a British soldier and his mother was a member of the Mohawk tribe.

* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Up to 80% of the characters appearing in the game are based on real people.

* [[Le Parkour]]: As the setting lacks the tall urban environments of the previous games, this game adds "tree-running" to the Assassin skill set.

* [[New York State]]: Upstate New York (specifically, the Mohawk Valley) is a setting in the historical part of the game, and it's also where Desmond and company find themselves.

* [[Not in This For Your Revolution]]: Literally. Connor is [http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/assassins_creed_iii/news/assassins_creed_3_ubisoft_talks_about_creating_a_brand-new_experience.html more interested in Assassin/Templar issues] than the American Revolution. Considering his [[Backstory]], it's understandable. However, the fact that [[George Washington]] and [[Benjamin Franklin]] are allies makes him a little more sympathetic with the Colonies, as well as the events in the French and Indian War.

* [[One-Man Army]]: In keeping with the tradition of the series, Connor can take on entire regiments of troops by himself and come out victorious. The E3 trailer shows him doing this in a losing battle and rallying the Continental forces as a result.

* [[Plunder]]: Defeating the [[Mooks|British regulars]] gives the player things, like money and weapons, that can be used on the go.

* [[Seven Years' War]]: Serves as the prologue.

* [[Snow Means Death]]: The game takes place across all four seasons, with winter being the hardest to survive in for both Connor and the soldiers. The gameplay trailers make a point of showing Connor assassinating soldiers in the snow.

* [[The Stoic]]: Connor is explicitly described as a very stoic person.

* [[Trojan Prisoner]]: Connor can call on Assassins dressed as Redcoats to help him infiltrate British ports by taking him "prisoner".

* [[Walking Armory]]: Connor [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f245O_q94E carries] a Tomahawk, dual pistols, a bow, and a hidden blade. He can be armed with additional weaponry later, of course.

* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: The Frontier, a countryside area near Boston, is one and a half times bigger than Rome as seen in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood|Assassin's Creed Brotherhood]]''.
