Sony PlayStation has announced the release of "Assassin's Creed Liberation HD" for the PS3 via the PlayStation store.
Beginning on Jan. 14, 2014, players will take on the role of Aveline, a female Assassin recruited by an escaped slave. "Liberation" was originally available on PlayStation Vita. Ubisoft and PlayStation worked to improve the Vita version to make the gameplay and missions to giving players new challenges to face.
Coinciding with the HD upgrade is the addition of new "specific" missions for Aveline's many personas.
"Aveline is the first Assassin with such clearly different character types - Assassin, Lady, and Servant," PlayStation wrote in their blog. "Each persona has its own advantages and disadvantages when playing missions, and each generates a different reaction from the city life around Aveline. That's a total of 15 missions delving deeper into Aveline's story."
Check out the official description of the gameplay below:
"Liberation is set in New Orleans between 1765 and 1780, in the period between the end of the French and Indian War, up to the middle of the American Revolution. Liberation tells the story of Aveline; a female Assassin of mixed French and African heritage. Brought up in a world of privilege and contrasts, Aveline becomes a strong-willed woman and an avid opponent of slavery.
"Recruited to the Assassins by an escaped slave, Aveline joins the struggle against the Templars as they try to take control of New Orleans following France's handover of the city to Spain. Striking hard and fast, she is instrumental in the Louisiana Rebellion that forces the Spanish and Templars out of the city for nearly two years before they return in force."
"Assassin's Creed Liberation" is available now for PlayStation Vita. "Assassin's Creed Liberation HD" will be released for the PS3 via the PlayStation Store on Jan. 14, 2014 for $19.99.
