Ubisofts Assassins Creed 3 will see release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC later this year; however another installment of Assassins Creed will be joining it. Today it was revealed that Sonys PlayStation Vita will be getting its own entry to the Assassins Creed series with a spinoff title known as Assassins Creed 3: Liberation which is set to release along Assassins Creed 3 on October 30th.
First details on Assassins Creed 3: Liberation have been shared today from the latest issue of Game Informer. Developed by Ubisoft Sofia, Liberations storyline wont connect to Desmond; instead it will offer a different look at the Assassin/Templar conflict. The events of Liberation are described as a propaganda tool used by Abstergo which will have players experience a grey area of the conflict from the view of an assassin rather than a Templar.
Despite this change, the magazine clearly states Liberation has true Assassins Creed gameplay as the game takes place in open areas where you can run, climb, fight and explore the entire city of New Orleans without loading a new area.
Set in New Orleans, Louisiana towards the conclusion of the French and Indian War between the years 1765-1780, Assassins Creed 3: Liberation follows a female assassin named Aveline, whom has a mixed heritage of French and Black. Avelines mentor is named Agate, the leader of the assassins within New Orleans, but is also an escaped slave. It is also said that Assassin's Creed 3's main character, Conner, will meet with Aveline during the game.
Wildlife like alligators will act as an environmental threat as they wait on the banks of the swamps and hide beneath the gloomy waters. Liberation will take players across the Gulf and into Mexico. New weapons will include a sugarcane machete, pistols, muskets, and grenades.
The magazine also shares that Assassins Creed 3: Liberation will have a multiplayer mode created especially for Vita. A Vita exclusive feature will allow you to pick pocket using Vita's touch mechanics. No additional details have been revealed at this time but expect to hear more at E3 2012 next week.
