Assassin’s Creed IV “Freedom Cry” DLC Release Date Announced

Ubisoft has finally announced the release date for the single-player DLC “Freedom Cry” for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. It will release on December 17th for Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC and December 18th for PS3 and PS4. Those who have purchased the Season Pass for the game will receive the DLC as part of the package.

The DLC will see players take on the role of Adewale, Edward Kenway’s first mate, as he embarks on his own adventure as an assassin. Composed of nine missions, the story takes place 15 years after the events of the main game and will see you starting off in Saint-Domingue. Though it hasn’t been revealed how, Adewale will eventually be rescuing slaves – which make sense considering he started life as one.

Meanwhile, those interested in multiplayer can pick up the Blackbeard’s Wrath DLC, now available for all platforms which adds three new characters, including Blackbeard himself, to the online experience.
