With just over a month until the release of Assassin’s Creed 3 and AC3 Liberation it’s obvious that Ubisoft will now start to shift the marketing of both titles up a gear, which is why they have just released a bunch of new screenshots. However, the most interesting part is how these new screens seem to hint at the possibility of cross play.

If this is the case then the two titles will be integrated much closer than we had first assumed, which can only help the PS Vita, which as we know has not been doing as well as Sony had hoped. In one of the new images that you can see above you can clearly see Connor and Aveline fighting the enemy back-to-back, surely this means that both protagonists will be fighting side-by-side?

September's issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine takes a deep look into the latest installment of Ubisoft's blockbuster franchise, Assassin's Creed 3. As detailed on the PlayStation Blog, the September issue, available today, takes a "deep look into the gameplay of both the home console and portable games with exclusive insight from the developers".

While Assassin's Creed 3 is going to be available on multiple platforms, the PS3 one of them, Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation is strictly a PlayStation Vita exclusive. Earlier this month, a trailer was released giving fans their first look at how the Assassin's Creed franchise, normally on consoles, translates to Sony's new Vita mobile device. The trailer was so impressive that it helped earn Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation a spot on our list of upcoming Vita games to get excited for.
