With all the talk of Native Americans and stabbing redcoats and tossing tea into the ocean, it’s been easy to forget that Assassin’s Creed 3 will also feature a fair bit of Desmond. This latest trailer is here to remind you that he’s actually rather important to that whole ‘Assassin’s Creed plot’ thing.

JoinStar Trek’s Q, as he explains why Desmond will have to be the one to save us all from a terrifying date in the calendar.

Assassin’s Creed 3 is coming out at the end of this month for Xbox 360 and PS3. It’s mid-November for the PC version.
