Our take on Assassin’s Creed® Liberation HD
Rather than keeping assassination in one urban setting, the game shifts between New Orleans streets, swamps, and Mayan ruins. Aveline’s use of disguises is not stated here, but the listed weapons, traps, tree movement, and underwater searching broaden the usual stealth-action structure.
What is Assassin’s Creed® Liberation HD?
Set in 1765, Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD follows Aveline, an Assassin of mixed French and African heritage, through New Orleans, Louisiana’s swamps, and Mayan ruins.
Combat and stealth use weapons such as a machete, poison-dart blowpipe, whip, and duelling pistols. Aveline can lure enemies into traps, eliminate targets from above, navigate trees, and dive for lost treasures while facing hostile animals and other dangers. The game includes missions tied to the New Orleans revolution and Aveline’s pursuit of freedom. This HD edition adds higher-definition environments and characters, HDR rendering, revised cinematics, remastered music, new sound effects, updated missions, additional story missions, and changes to world design that provide further mission options.
