An Assassin's Creed 3 Boston game-play trailer with commentary (done in a Boston accent) has been released.

The new mechanics are showed off and explained; adding to, and much improving the previous games combat, stealth and abilities.

What I think looks great is the improved stealth - using 'mobile hidespots', and stealth positioning (peeping around corners, etc). Combine this with the new tree climbing, rope darts and usable weapons - this game should feel like a big improvement from the previous.

Alexander Hutchinson the Creative Director of Assassin's Creed III gives us a first glimpse at some of the new city gameplay:
