Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD, the up-scaled version of last year’s PS Vita offering has been blessed by Ubisoft with its release date details by means of a press release. It will be out for PC on January 15, 2014, but its launch for the Xbox 360 is still being referred to as ‘early 2014.’ As had been revealed earlier, this game will be doled out for the PS3 via the PS Store on January 14 in North America and on January 15 in Europe.
The digital-only offering will be made available at a price of 19.99 USD (approx. Rs 1,230) or 15.99 GBP (approx. Rs 1,590). A discount offer has been revealed for Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD as well. Under it, those who will buy a Season Pass for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will have a 25 percent amount deduced from the game’s actual price.
Assassin’s Creed: Liberation was launched by Ubisoft late last year, as a PS Vita exclusive complete with support for the console’s touch controls and dual analog sticks. Set between the period of 1765 and 1777, it has its story focus on Aveline de Grandpré, the first female protagonist for the series. It takes place around the end of the French and Indian War in 18th century New Orleans.
Apart from updated graphics suitable for bigger screens, Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD will also be seen tagging along new missions and a host of other enhancements. This year’s big title AC IV: Black Flag is only a few days away from its launch, and it’d be interesting to see if it’ll carry forward the series success run.
