When was the last time you heard of an American with the name Benedict? Almost never happens, right? That's because that word is associated with a man who betrayed colonial forces in the Revolutionary War, earning Benedict Arnold a level of scorn and infamy that's practically eternal. Well, in the PS3 exclusive missions for Assassin's Creed III, it sure looks like you might get to kill him.
The video above shows off highlights of the Benedict Arnold missions—which will be available with George Washington asking Connor to root out Arnold's turncoat activities as he prepares to surrender the fort at West Point to the British. Now, in real life, Arnold became a British soldier and died in London. Assassin's Creed games have a way of letting you kill historical figures. It'll be interesting to see Arnold meets his end in ACIII at players' hands or in a fashion that hews closer to how he actually died.
