The next PC game to be given away free by Ubisoft as part of its 30thanniversary celebration is the 2012's 'Assassin's Creed III'. The game will be free through Ubisoft's Uplay service starting on December 7. Unisoft announced the very good news on Twitter.

As the company began in June, it is the last game to be given away for free as part of its promotion. The previous freebies were "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" (June), "Splinter Cell" (July), "Rayman Origins" (August), "The Crew" (September), "Beyond Good & Evil" (October), and "Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon" (November).

On the 2012 release, former Eurogamer editor Tom Bramwell became a big fan of Assassin's Creed 3. Bramwell described it as "the biggest and richest Assassin's Creed game to date" in his Assassin's Creed 3 review.

"Revealed at E3 2006, Assassin's Creed puts the audience in the middle of an ancient war between two age-old factions: the Assassins, who fight to protect freedom and the Templars, who aspire to impose a New World Order," Ubisoft said as reported by PCGamer. "From Italian Renaissance to the Russian Revolution, the player meets real historical heroes, takes part in events and shapes its own destiny. From one episode to the other, the creative teams have constantly added new layers of interaction and new gameplay making each world deeper and more fascinating."

Reviewer Kevin VanOrd said that "Assassin's Creed III" is a big game that gives you a lot to do that some of which is fleshed out relatively well, and some of which is not. "It is not, however, content to rest on the series' laurels. It takes chances with its opening, with its story, and with its characters. It expands the series' gameplay in enjoyable and sensible ways," Vanord further said.

Ubisoft was founded in 1986. The company is currently fighting to preserve its independence, as media conglomerate Vivendi--which formerly owned Activision Blizzard--buys more and more shares, as reported by Game Spot.
