According to Ubisoft's creative director Alex Hutchinson, Assassin's Creed III's combat system has quote-on-quote been "completely re-done".

In the fifth title of the Assassin's Creed franchise, the the game developing company Ubisoft have decided to start from scratch, something we haven't seen in early titles. This statement includes what they say as a"two-handed combat system", which allows you to equip/wield a weapon in each hand. We've seen examples of this such as the tomahawk and knife in the official Assassin's Creed III Reveal Trailer.

And there has also been a new confirmed weapon for the new title, which is the Chain Dart, which can be equipped and used to pierce through the necks of the desired person.

“The combat system in Assassin’s Creed III has been completely redone”, Explains Hutchinson to Playstation Magazine, “We burned it to the ground and we’re building it back up”.

He later then said, “At its base it’s a two-handed combat system, so all of the weapons are two-handed. Some of the cool new combinations include a tomahawk and knife. Connor also has a bow.

“At first our research said basically that bows had been replaced by guns, but what we found was that a lot of the different tribes were still using them to hunt from horseback because the guns were so inaccurate. We thought it was a cool weapon, and still historically accurate”.

Assassin’s Creed III is confirmed to release for Wii U later this year. It’s also confirmed to release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 30th in North America and October 31st across Europe.
