Introducing Assassin’s Creed® III Liberation, the stunning new chapter in the Assassin’s Creed saga, designed exclusively for PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system.

The year is 1765. As the events leading up to the American Revolution heat up in the north, Spanish forces plan to take control of Louisiana in the south – but they have yet to reckon with Aveline, a deadly Assassin who will use every weapon and ability in her arsenal to win freedom for her land and her people. Whether silently eliminating her enemies with slow-motion chain kills or luring them into deadly traps, Aveline strikes mortal fear into the hearts of those who stand in her way.

As an Assassin, Aveline soon finds herself on an unforgettable journey that will take her from the crowded streets of New Orleans to voodoo-haunted swamps and ancient Mayan ruins. She will play a pivotal role in the turbulent birth of a new nation as she fights for freedom, not only for herself, but for her fellow citizens.

Key Features

A CUNNING NEW ASSASSIN As Aveline, an Assassin of mixed French and African heritage, you must use your skill, instinct and weaponry – including a machete, poison-dart blowpipe, and duelling pistols – to hunt down and eliminate your enemies.
EXPERIENCE A LIFELIKE WORLD Feast your eyes on a richly detailed world, thanks to an all-new game engine featuring groundbreaking physics, animation and a new combat system. Outmaneuver your enemies in the Louisiana bayou with an innovative Tree Navigation system, then eliminate them from above with deadly precision. Dive deep underwater as you search for lost Mayan treasures, but stay alert; the hostile wilderness and humid swamps are full of menacing animals.
DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR PS Vita Take full advantage of PlayStation®Vita system touch pads, motion sensor and built-in camera to execute slow-motion chain kills, pickpocket unsuspecting victims and pursue your enemies in a canoe. This is an immersive experience designed purely for PlayStation®Vita system.

 

[DiscoJer]

Hmmm, I wonder if this will be the only way to get a white Vita?

 

[MThanded]

Black main character and a white vita.

 

[darkside31337]

Hmmm, I wonder if this will be the only way to get a white Vita?

I'd wager yes.

Sony really dropped the ball by not having the PS3 in the AC3 bundle be white too. Missed out on easy marketing.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Black main character and a white vita.

OMG RACISM

 

[Emitan]

I'll be buying this bundle. Sadly.

 

[darkwing]

I'd wager yes.

how about a white PS3/Vita AC bundle

 

[Dark Octave]

Black main character and a white vita.

lol Gotta give it to them. No game company in Japan would EVER do this.

Still, side story AC. Baby steps I guess.

 

[ultron87]

I'm probably going to get that bundle assuming that this game continues to be great looking. I was going to get a Vita eventually and the white one is sexy.

[Dark Schala]

I wish we saw more in-depth stuff for this game. I was really looking forward to it because of its protagonist.

Edit: Thanks, chubigans~

 

[Totobeni]

mighty lord Nirolak-sama sensei called that bundle days ago

I imagine their goal is to have the game sold in a lot of Vita holiday bundles.

 

[Leona Lewis]

No 3G bundle option. Maybe they're saving that for COD:BLOPS: D.

Or maybe wisely letting it disappear.

 

[Phoenixazure]

Those screens. I hope it has a solid framerate...

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Those screenshots are super impressive! Wow!

 

[rataven]

I was hoping for a bundle like this. Bought!

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Those pics look amazing! :O

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Those screens are total typical Ubisoft bullshots right? Because that looks way better than the trailer i saw.

 

[Father_Brain]

In a very bleak climate for Vita, everything about this sounds and looks quite promising. And a black female protagonist? That ain't exactly cliche.

Ubisoft Sofia, though... it's hard not to be skeptical. AFAIK, the only original title they've developed to date is Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, and while that was pretty well-received, they apparently didn't handle the actual game design themselves, only being involved on the technical end of things.

 

[iceatcs]

Those screens are total typical Ubisoft bullshots right? Because that looks way better than the trailer i saw.

Of course it's bullshots like near 99% game media. You have to be that low IQ think it is in-game picture quality shot.

There won't be 32xAA 48xAF and high resolution shadow mapping.

 

[bengraven]

I wonder how long until Vita exclusives start appearing on other systems, like PS3 for example.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

That looks awesome.

 

[Luigiv]

Those screenshots are super impressive! Wow!

They do look good but then again they're from Ubisoft, king of the bullshot, so I'd take them with a pinch of salt.

 

[Jigsaw]

looks amazing,i hope this sells well and stays exclusive,if ubi pulls a liberty city stories this won't bode well for future games,as all people will simply wait for the ps3 version

 

[Kimaka]

A black woman as a main character. This is the first time I've seen this.

I wish they showed more of the game. Will be keeping my eye on this.

 

[chickdigger802]

Oh a bundle? Let's hope this game ain't terrible. Seems like a C- team developing.

 

[Alex Connolly]

The environments look closer to reality, given aliasing here and there...

...but that rooftop chase pic? Nice little bit of compositing going there.

 

[GorillaJu]

protagonist is a black female...

I'll be buying based on that daring move alone. props to ubi

the bullshots are probably excused by Ubi to the tune of they're approximations of what you see on the screen. handheld screenshots inevitably look rather poor on computer monitors.

 

[Lonely1]

Yeah, Bullshots. The trailer didn't look nearly as impressive.

 

[Shapingo]

lol Gotta give it to them. No game company in Japan would EVER do this.

Still, side story AC. Baby steps I guess.

Bo Bobo (ps2) The one and only time.

 

[Ran rp]

 

[shink]

This looks pretty good. Might even buy the bundle but only hesitating because they might release the Orange Vita down the track.

 

[Quick]

Beat me the fuck to it. :lol

 

[FoeHammer]

Win.

 

[Derrick01]

It looks so great for an early Vita game, but hopefully there's no tearing and the framerate is acceptable at least.

If I have the money I will definitely go for that Vita bundle.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I had the same thought! Hahahahahahahaha

Looks really good though

 

[TripOpt55]

Looks really good. White Vita looks nice too. Will this be playable at E3 by chance. Would love to hear some impressions.

 

[Ran rp]

Yeah i just got the latest gameinformer and it has a preview of Assassins Creed 3:Liberation

•will have "multiplayer specifically tailored to the vita experience"

What happened to the multiplayer mode?

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I'm not gonna lie, a creole female assassin in New Orleans is right up my alley.

This may actually be the bundle I finally buy, and I usually don't pay much attention to this series.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I hope she is unlockable on the PS3 version at the very least.

 

[Satch]

I love her look. Kinda wish Connor's outfit was more like it :lol

 

[MeBecomingI]

Really interested in seeing more of this. I need more Vita games and stuff like this is good. Releasing it day and date with Assassin's Creed 3 for the consoles is terribly stupid, but it looks amazing.

This needs to be a game that shows off everything about the Vita... Sony can't squander this opportunity.

Now, give me a good long gameplay video.

 

[Shadow780]

The most exciting thing about this is the white Vita.

white sparkly > everything.

 

[KillGore]

What happened to the multiplayer mode?

They didn't show it but they did mention that if you buy AC3, you'll get exclusive content for the online on the vita version, so online version does exist.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

So let me get this straight.

Two ACs on the same day.
One of them is Revolutionary War.
One is Pirate.

I think I had an orgasm.

 

[Dark Schala]

I love her look. Kinda wish Connor's outfit was more like it :lol

More importantly, she looks equipped for the job/looks like she can dish out a lot of damage, and her outfit is quite modest. It's partially because of that that I'm really looking forward to this.

 

[chickdigger802]

So let me get this straight.

Two ACs on the same day.
One of them is Revolutionary War.
One is Pirate.

I think I had an orgasm.

And one will be good. Other mediocre ;P

 

[Ahasverus]

Looks almost as good as AC1. The Vita is a powerful machine.

 

[CrazyDude]

I love her look. Kinda wish Connor's outfit was more like it :lol

Did you the ship video?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Bustling city looks promising atleast.

Really hope this is good.
