Assassins Creed IV: Freedom Cry Wil Release As Stand-Alone1

The well received DLC to Assassins Creed IV, Freedom Cry will be getting a stand-alone release on the PC, PS4 and PS3 this month, on Feb 18th. The game follows the story of Edward’s second in command on the Jackdaw, Adewale as he goes on a personal mission to find solace from his dark past.  The game’s amazing soundtrack was composed by Olivier Deriviere, who had recently talked to us about his experience working on this project in 0ur interview.

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.
