Assassin's Creed III: Liberation Coming To You Courtesy… Abstergo?!


In the real world, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation is being developed by Ubisoft's arm in Sofia, Bulgaria. But in-game the PS Vita entry into the franchise has a different developer entirely. And it's about the last company you'd expect.

The central conceit of the game's story is that you, the player, are entering the commercially released version of the Animus courtesy of Abstergo. You'll be able to experience the life of Assassin Aveline as she travels around 1700s New Orleans stabbing people.

The idea is that instead of telling yet another story about Desmond Miles, we get to see what the Templars think of this seemingly endless conflict between the two secret conspiracies. It will also explore a grey area in the game's plot although details on what that would be are scarce right now.

It's a very interesting twist in a series that already has stepped away from tradition by not centering around Ezio or Altair. It raises a few questions about the game's plot… and what, precisely Abstergo is up to by releasing the Animus to everyone.

Positive impressions from IGN
First and foremost, Aveline is an assassin. She has the same swiftness of foot and acrobatic grace that you would expect from Altair or Ezio; she also shares their capacity for focussed violence. But she’s also a master of disguise.

In a demo at Gamescom today, we learned about Aveline’s ability to change her appearance by entering clothes shops located around the city of New Orleans. Unlike GTA’s many clothing stores, it isn’t a superficial change, nor is it simply a way of throwing alerted enemies off your scent; it has a bigger effect on gameplay than that.

Clothes say a lot about a person. They reveal one’s standing in society, and have a subtle yet powerful effect on the way people perceive and treat others. Aveline’s default costume is, of course, her assassin's getup, which is heavily stylised and has visible weaponry, including her dual firearms. It's conspicuous, and understandably makes guards uneasy. This outfit encourages you to play the game like any other in the franchise, sprinting across roof tiles and taking out guards, before quietly stalking your prey.

Clothes say a lot about a person. They reveal one’s standing in society, and have a subtle yet powerful effect on the way people perceive and treat others.

But Aveline is not just an assassin. She is also the daughter of a wealthy French merchant. And her real identity can function as a powerful disguise. Confined in a garment more befitting a lady of leisure than a trained killed – tight bodice, hat, bustle – she is able to use her elevated social standing as a powerful weapon. In the level I saw – titled Rotten Barracks – the aristocratic Aveline was able to stroll freely around the town and into a heavily-protected fort without any worries. Guards were automatically deferential to this well-known, respected citizen. The outfit ditches much of Aveline's weaponry, increasing the player's vulnerability. She does, however, have a spring-loaded poison dart gun disguised as a dainty parasol. It's a powerful tool but takes an eternity to reload. It's a necessary trade-off; otherwise, the outfit would be just too powerful. Similarly, Aveline's movement is severely restricted. As you can imagine, a corset isn't ideal for scaling walls and hurdling obstacles. She must use her wits to escape if detected.


At the opposite end of the class spectrum is the pauper, Aveline's other disguise. Dressed in a ragged skirt, with her hair scruffily tied up in a headscarf, Aveline is practically invisible. People choose to ignore the poor and the downtrodden, which conveniently lets Aveline wander into protected areas. If she's carrying a box, for instance, she's likely to be confused for a manual labourer. Nobody asks any questions of the poor girl. She is able to call on help from her fellow paupers, playing on their sense of solidarity. This outfit is a lot less restrictive than that of the aristocrat, allowing Aveline to free-run, but it still doesn't allow as much equipment as her standard Assassin's uniform.
Costume changes sound gimmicky, at first; in Liberation, It’s all done in the interest of player choice. The demo was repeated three times, with Aveline sporting a different outfit each playthrough; it effectively highlighted the impact each garment has on the way in which you interact with the world and how other characters to react to you. It could potentially make Liberation an expectedly varied Assassin's Creed experience.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
