Abstract

Many video games now take historical themes as the background of the story, indirectly we also learn history while playing video games. One of the video games with a historical theme is Assassin's Creed III. Assassin's Creed III, developed by Ubisoft Montreal and released in 2012, is set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, spanning from 1775 to 1784. Many missions in Assassin's Creed III take inspiration from several famous events during the American Revolution.
The researcher employed qualitative-descriptive research methods to analyze and describe the research objectives. This research use postcolonial theory by Edward Said and semiotic theory by Roland Barthes. The purpose of this research is to analyze the American resistance toward colonizer and oppression from colonial that depicted in the Assassin’s Creed III video game.
In conclusion, Despite its portrayal of genuine historical events, the game takes liberties with its narrative to fit its fictional framework, albeit still featuring many authentic figures from the American Revolution. Consequently, while not entirely accurate, Assassin's Creed III provides a valuable overview of this pivotal moment in history, offering players a glimpse into the complexities of the American Revolution.
