Assassins Creed 3 breadth will cover an expanse never seen before in any other Assassins Creed installment and, in such respects, will be the pioneer in the franchise as Assassins Creed 3 will be using two discs on Xbox 360 consoles around the world.

Alex Hutchinson confirmed on the 2nd of October that the massively popular Assassins Creed series will be releasing its first ever Dual Disc setup. When Assassins Creed 3 arrives on the 30th of October, “You [will] be surprised what blows the disc. Sound blows the disc, but also videos. What was scary for us was we blew the disc with no... There’s only like two videos in the game, the rest is in-game cut-scenes. We were like 'we're still blowing the disc? That's terrifying.' It's by far the biggest game I've worked on."

Details on how the game content will be divided are unclear, but constantly changing between the two discs won’t be an issue (many can attest to the nuisances brought forth by Mass Effect 3's disc swapping) assures Ubisoft Jonathan Cooper.

Jonathan Cooper complimented Hutchinson’s speech and set wary dual-disc critics at ease by saying: "Don't worry, there's not going to be like, disc-swapping if you get to the end of chapter 3 and having to swap over - that's not going to happen. We've separated it.”

Cooper was asked about the idea of a one time disc swap part way through, and replied: "No, it's not even that. We won't talk about how it's done... but don't worry about it, you won't be jumping back and forth."

Fortunately, due to the technological specs of the Playstation 3, PS3 users will be relieved to find out that there will only be a single disc for their copy of Assassins Creed 3.

Only time will tell how the discs will be split. What are your thoughts of the Dual Disc split?
