  • Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD Out Now On PC, PS3 And Xbox 360

    So, you’ve already played through the excellent Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and are eagerly awaiting whatever Ubisoft has in store for the franchise next. You could wait until next November for whatever Assassin’s Creed V turns out to be, or you could play the one game in the franchise that went unnoticed thanks to the platform it was on.

    Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD, a remastered port of the previously PlayStation Vita exclusive title, is now available on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. The game takes place during the events of Assassin’s Creed III, but follows the exploits of Aveline – an African-French assassin living in 18th century New Orleans at the end of the French and Indian War.

    Unlike Assassin’s Creed III, Liberation is not all about free running and sword fighting. The game mixes up the gameplay with three distinct gameplay varieties that take advantage of Aveline’s gender and race as she can either seduce guards as a noble woman or blend in with her surroundings as a slave. When neither option is viable, she can also don the traditional assassin’s armor and take out her enemies with a variety of weapons.

  • Assassin’s Creed Liberation Coming to PS3 on January 14

    Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation was is of the most ambitious titles yet released for the PlayStation Vita. The game was released alongside Assassin’s Creed III last year and features a wholly new Assassin’s Creed story – complete with a female protagonist. Like Resident Evil: Revelations, however, some franchises are just too big for publishers to keep games confined to handheld systems.

    It was announced back in September that Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation would be coming to PC and consoles, and now the title has a release date for the PlayStation 3 – January 14, 2014. The HD version of the title will be offered as a digital download through the PlayStation Store for $20.

    Liberation is set during the same time period as Assassin’s Creed III, but in New Orleans. The story follows Aveline, a female assassin who battles the Templars for control of the city. In addition to all of the content seen in the Vita version of the game, the HD console version has had missions tweaked for pacing and challenge. A total of 15 new missions have also been added to the title.

    In addition to the PS3 announcement, the release date for the PC version of LIberation has been set at January 15 on Steam. The release date for the Xbox 360 version of the game has not yet been announced, but can be assumed to be in the same time frame, if not on the same day, as the PlayStation 3 launch.

  • ‘Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD’ Coming to Consoles, PC

    Last year, while home console users were sinking their teeth into Assassin’s Creed III, Sony handheld gamers were also treated to some Assassin’s Creed action. Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, a separate, fully realized Assassin’s Creed game for the PlayStation Vita. The game put players into the shoes of Aveline, a female assassin in 18th century New Orleans, and received decent reviews. However, the Vita platform’s small owner base were the only ones who could experience Assassin’s Creed’s first female protagonist. Until now.

    Today, at Ubisoft’s Digital Days event, the publisher announced that it will be bringing Liberation to consoles and PC in the form of Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD. The timing of the announcement is hard to miss, with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag‘s release date less than two months away. Also, Ubisoft recently revealed that PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 owners will be getting an hour of exclusive content featuring Aveline, the heroine of Liberation.

    Liberation HD will, according to Ubisoft, be coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC as a digital download. No firm release date, or even release window, has been set, implying that Liberation HD will probably be coming sometime in 2014. The game will feature upgraded visuals, new missions, and what Ubisoft is calling “gameplay refinements.” The announcement trailer for Liberation HD shows the upgraded visuals and teases the story that so many Vita-less Assassin’s Creed fans missed last year:
