Assassin's Creed III will be set before, during and after the American Revolution from 1753 to 1783.
You will play as a new protagonist a half-English, half-Native American called Connor Kenway. In addition to the historical period, the game will also feature the "present day" setting, where series' protagonist Desmond Miles must endeavour to prevent the 2012 apocalypse, as his story will develop and then reach a conclusion.
