Assassin's Creed III Remastered Keyboard & Controller Controls
Assassin's Creed III Remastered is Ubisoft's 2019 remaster of the 2012 original, following Connor through the American Revolution on foot, in the frontier trees and at the helm of the Aquila. It keeps the original's one-button free-running and context-driven fights, and adds a separate set of naval controls for ship combat. The bindings come from Ubisoft's 2012 PC and controller guides, corrected where the Remastered PC version is known to have moved a key: Shift now sprints and the right mouse button aims.
