Freedom Cry, a popular DLC pack for last year’s Assassin’s Creed IV , will no longer require the original game (as it’s soon to get its own release).
Ubisoft made the announcement today that it will be “…available as a stand-alone game exclusively for download on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment systems on February 19 th and PC on February 25 th . Originally released as an add-on adventure for Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag , Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry will not require the purchase of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag .” Said Ubisoft.
Assassin’s Creed IV was a huge success, and topped many lists from 2013 as one of the best games of the year. Freedom Cry tells the backstory of slave Adewale and how he 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.”
The stand-alone title will retail for a modest $14.99
