ASSASSINS CREED FREEDOM CRY ANNOUNCED AS A STAND-ALONE TITLE

SAN FRANCISCO February 5, 2014 Today, Ubisoft announced that single-player adventure, Assassins Creed Freedom Cry, will be available as a stand-alone game exclusively for download on PlayStation4 and PlayStation3 computer entertainment systems for $14.99 on February 18. The game will also be available for PC on February 25 for $14.99. Originally released as an add-on adventure for Assassins Creed IV Black Flag, Assassins Creed Freedom Cry will not require the purchase of Assassins Creed IV Black Flag.

We decided to release Assassins Creed Freedom Cry as a stand-alone game for both fans and newcomers to the Assassins Creed universe, said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Ubisoft. Assassins Creed Freedom Cry delivers key elements of an Assassins Creed game, including a new hero, new environments and new weapons.

Assassins Creed Freedom Cry tells the story of Adewale, a man born into slavery. Once a pirate and now a trained Assassin, Adewale is shipwrecked in 18th-century Haiti, home to the most brutal slavery in the West Indies. In an effort to get back to the sea, Adewale assists the locals in exchange for a crew and a ship. The more he fights for freedom from slavery, however, the more he is drawn into the Maroon slave community, forcing him to face his vicious past. In the game, Adewale will take his new crew and set of weapons, including a machete and a blunderbuss, to assassinate enemies and free slaves, delivering merciless justice in plantations and cities alike. No stranger to the sea, Adewale will command a fearsome brig to take down slave owners in the Caribbean.
