“Ubisoft has announced that ‘Assassin’s Creed Liberation’ HD, the striking chapter in the pre–American Revolution Assassin’s Creed saga, is now available for digital download on PlayStation 3, on Xbox 360 and on Windows PC.
Completely remastered in stunning high definition, with improved gameplay mechanics and missions, ‘Assassin’s CreedLiberation HD’ delivers an immersive ‘Assassin’s Creed’ storyline for only £15.99 /€19.99 . This is the definitive Liberation experience.”
Personally, I cannot wait for this, but my favourite part of all of this has to be Aveline, our first playable female Assassin!
Ubisoft have stated that ‘players must use their skill, instinct and weaponry – including a machete, poison-dart blowpipe, a whip and dueling pistols – to hunt down and eliminate their enemies on an unforgettable journey from the crowded streets of New Orleans, through voodoo-haunted swamps and ancient Mayan ruins.’ When asked about having a female protagonist, Momchil Valentinov Gindyanov, producer, replied:
‘From our very first discussions on the game we identified the possibility for a female assassin. New Orleans during the 18th Century was culturally a very diverse city and while it shared many of the aspects of other colonies that we view negatively today, it did also present unique opportunities, and several women with similar backgrounds to Aveline acquired considerable wealth, power and respect.
Using these women as role models, we found in Aveline a strong, empowered young woman who has the opportunity, confidence and will power to be ruthless in achieving her goals – perfect for an Assassin! With all this behind her, Aveline is the equal of any male assassin.’
I think this is going to be an essential purchase for anyone who’s a fan of the ‘Assassin’s Creed’ games, and I can guarantee you it’s on my wishlist right now! After watching the trailer (numerous times, may I add), I have to say that this truly looks like a stunning game in terms of HD graphics.. I appreciate that it’s being brought out on the PS3 and Xbox360 instead of the new generation consoles.
