From what I was told Assassin's Creed 3 is a DirectX10 only game.  There is no DirectX9 compatibility.
Since Wine is far from d3dx10 compatible, it probably won't play at all.

Thanks for confirming, because I wanted to try it as well.

On the other hand, you can play I, II, Brotherhood and Revelations in PlayOnLinux.  They all run just fine

Possibly, but that is speculation. ;)
 
Computer specs? Drivers? Linux version? Full debug logs? Did you check http://appdb.winehq.org?
 
In this case, no; it does not work through Wine, unfortunately. Likely for the reasons that Booman said, possibly others (vcrun, .NET, who knows? lol.). In the future, WineHQ is the first place to check to see if anything will work through Wine. I wish this worked through Wine. I own it for Steam. haha. 
Please:
Post debug logs & full computer specs in first post
