Our take on Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry
The premise gives prominent weight to Adewale’s backstory and fight for freedom, while the playable offering is a short single-player campaign of over 3 hours. That compact scope is central to the purchase decision but receives less emphasis than the broader character setup.
What is Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry?
Play as Adewale, a former slave who became a pirate and later trained as an Assassin.
After being shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue without weapons or a crew, he must obtain a ship, recruit people to join him, free enslaved people, and seek revenge. The game presents a single-player story with over 3 hours of new gameplay. Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry can be played without owning Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag.
