According to the developer, the three-week period since Assasssin’s Creed III’s official reveal has seen a surge in pre-orders, eclipsing Assassin’s Creed Revelations by a tenfold margin in the same time frame. Ezio Auditore’s final chapter is still the overall record holder for the series’ pre-orders, but Ubisoft anticipates that AC III will surpass that figure in June.
Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft, is justifiably enthused by the news:
Our Assassin’s Creed: Revelations review awarded the game with 4-out-of-5 stars, but it was quite apparent that Ubisoft – and fans – were clamoring for something new. After the copious outpouring of Assassin’s Creed III trailers, story and gameplay details, and screenshots released in March, we’d say that that goal has definitely been fulfilled – and that Ubisoft has earned the fruits of their three-year labor.
But just what can fans expect in return for ordering the game in advance? While the now-customary pre-order perks for Assassin’s Creed III have yet to be revealed in most countries, it appears as though Germany (and thus, the rest of us with Google Translate) is getting their first look at what are some slick new offerings.

Ranters, does the Ubisoft barometer of Assassin’s Creed III anticipation match yours after a month of constant news on the game (did we mention the 4-player co-op?) What pre-order incentives will you be looking for as you begin organizing purchase plans?
Assassin’s Creed III will release on October 30, 2012, for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
