What was once a DLC add-on for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, the Freedom Cry expansion will also be released as a stand-alone package that does not require the base game.<\/p>\n

Strangely, Xbox is getting no love, and Freedom Cry will only be available on PC (25 February), PS3, and PS4 (19 February).<\/p>\n

Freedom Cry is a nine mission self-contained story featuring Edward Kenway\u2019s first mate Adewale. Born a slave, Adewale found freedom as a pirate aboard the Jackdaw as Captain Edward Kenway\u2019s second-in-command. Fifteen years later, Adewale has become a trained assassin and finds himself shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue with no weapon nor crew, starting a new adventure of his own.<\/p>\n

18th-century Haiti is 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
