'''''Assassin's Creed III: Liberation''''' is a game for the {{Wiki|PlayStation Vita}}, which was developed by [[Ubisoft]] Sofia. It was released alongside ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' on 30 October 2012.


''Assassin's Creed III: Liberation'' did not feature [[Desmond Miles]], but rather an unknown individual, due to the game being a product released by [[Abstergo Industries]] to the public. ''Liberation'' was created and used by Abstergo as a propaganda tool to depict a grey area side of the conflict between the [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]], through censoring out negative acts by the Templars and depicting only the positive points of their influence, along with the misguided and disorganized Assassin Order.
However, ''Liberation'' was breached early on by [[Erudito]], a hacking collective and opposition to Abstergo. Erudito gave players the opportunity to view uncensored memories that Abstergo had originally covered up, revealing to them the truth about the Assassins and Templars.
== Setting ==
The game was set between 1765 and 1780, taking place around the end of the [[French and Indian War]]. It primarily featured [[Aveline de Grandpré]], a female [[France|French]]-{{Wiki|Africa|African}} Assassin.<ref name="IGN">[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/06/02/e3-2012-assassins-creed-vita-revealed IGN: ''E3 2012: Assassin's Creed Vita Revealed?'']</ref>
''Liberation'' was set in and around the city of [[New Orleans]] and the [[Bayou|Louisiana Bayou]], with the swamp itself having hosted many wild animals and dangerous threats, such as alligators and smugglers. This made navigating through trees a safer alternative for traveling through the area.<ref>[http://poptimal.com/2012/06/assassins-creed-iii-liberation-avelines-origins-story-details-abstergo-and-more ''Assassin's Creed III Liberation: Aveline's Origins, Story Details, Abstergo and More'']</ref>
== Gameplay ==
Both ''Liberation'' and ''Assassin's Creed III'' operated on the same game engine, meaning gameplay in ''Liberation'' is very similar to ''Assassin's Creed III'' in terms of climbing and combat. Many of the new features that were present in ''Assassin's Creed III'' were available to Aveline, such as double-counters and chain kills, as well as the ability to freerun through trees.
''Liberation'' included a variety of weapons from previous installments, as well as a sugar-cane [[machete]], [[Firearms|pistols]], a [[blowpipe]], cleavers and [[grenades]].
[[File:Liberationtouchtokill.jpg|thumb|250px|Chain kills were implemented using the touchscreen, allowing Aveline to take down multiple opponents]]
''Liberation'' also included multiplayer "specifically tailored to the Vita experience,"<ref name="IGN"/> and utilised cross-goods between itself and ''Assassin's Creed III'' on the PlayStation 3, with linking the two titles unlocked [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]'s [[tomahawk]]. Accompanying this, pre-order content featured a "Mysteries of the Bayou" pack, including an exclusive character skin, an [[Mackandal Bodyguard|Animi Avatar]], a [[Ceremonial Dagger|dagger]] and an upgrade in ammunition. In an exclusive edition (excluding pre-order content), the game was also bundled with a special "Crystal White PS Vita Wi-Fi."<ref name="E3">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_gtlyzeZOo&feature=related Assassins Creed III: Liberation E3 2012: Debut]</ref>
''Liberation'' also included a new "touch to kill" option, allowing Aveline to carry out chain kills together once a certain number of attacks have already been executed, amongst other features such as using the touch-screen to row while in canoes. Accompanying this, Aveline was able enter an outfit shop to dress in disguises, which provide advantages and disadvantages for each of the costumes available.<ref>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-16-assassins-creed-3-vita-heroine-has-a-poison-dart-firing-umbrella</ref><ref name="Gematsu">[http://gematsu.com/2012/08/assassins-creed-iii-liberation-producer-qa Gematsu - ''Assassin's Creed III: Liberation'' Q&A]</ref>
==Plot==
''Assassin's Creed III: Liberation'' took place in Louisiana near the end of the French and Indian war, where [[France|France's]] defeat caused the city of New Orleans to be taken over by [[Spain|Spanish]] government. The citizens were upset over the transition from French to Spanish control and Spain's new occupation within the city. However, in 1765, the French governor [[Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie]] made a negotiation with Templar [[Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer]] to stay as governor of New Orleans. This plot was later uncovered by the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré, who infiltrated the governor's mansion and assassinated him.
[[File:Liberationfaithfulacolyte.jpg|thumb|250px|Aveline confronts Baptiste in the bayou.]]
Following this, de Ferrer made a deal with a man named [[Baptiste]], who was hoping to defect from the Assassins to the Templar Order. Baptiste pretended to act as the recently deceased François Mackandal, as a ruse to attract followers to his cause. He planned to poison New Orleans' nobles and take control of smuggling operations within the Louisiana Bayou. However, his sole purpose was to force [[Agaté]], Assassin and mentor to Aveline, out of hiding in the bayou. Aveline tracked him down, however, killing his followers and assassinating the false Mackandal.
In 1766, the Templar [[Antonio de Ulloa]] arrived in New Orleans, to serve as the Spanish governor. However, he left control of the area to French officials and allowed the French flag to remain over the city. Two years afterwards, he made strict trade restrictions and set up a covert slave-trading operation to transport slaves to a Templar worksite in [[Mexico]]. This act flared up a rebellion from French officials and the citizens of New Orleans.
Agaté ordered Aveline to assassinate de Ulloa to eradicate Templar presence in New Orleans. Aveline ambushed de Ulloa's carriage and confronted the governor, who told her that slaves had been taken to [[Chichen Itza|Chichén Itzá]]. However, Aveline spared his life and let de Ulloa leave the city, in return for a lens used to decode Templar documents and a map leading her to the Templar worksite in Chichén Itzá. Aveline's act of mercy destroyed any trust Agaté had in his student, as she had disobeyed his explicit orders.
Against her mentor's wishes, Aveline disguised herself as a slave bound for Mexico and made her way to the Templar worksite at Chichén Itzá. Whilst there, she came across a defiant slave who mentioned that [[Jeanne]], Aveline's mother, was stationed in Chichén Itzá. Aveline investigated thoroughly and uncovered a page from Jeanne's diary and a map that lead to an artifact located inside a cenote. Upon exploring this cave system, she came across an ancient chamber filled with ruins from the [[First Civilization]], along with a fragment of the artifact she was searching for, known as the [[Prophecy Disk]].
[[File:Avelinefirstcivilizationruins.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Aveline inside First Civilization ruins.]]
Shortly after Aveline had acquired the artifact, de Ferrer, who was supervising the Templar worksite at Chichén Itzá, broke through into the chamber. However, Aveline overpowered his soldiers and killed him, before escaping through the mines he had entered through. At the end of the tunnels, she found her mother.
Jeanne, however, realized that her daughter was an Assassin and believed that Agaté had sent Aveline to kill her. She fled, though not before warning Aveline that the Prophecy Disk should never reach Agaté.
After two years of absence, Aveline returned to New Orleans to find that Spanish control was strong. After speaking to [[Gérald Blanc]], Aveline's fellow Assassin and trusted friend, she learnt that someone was bribing Spanish soldiers. Upon investigating, Aveline discovered that a man by the name of Vázquez was using Spanish soldiers to seize control of the bayou.
Vázquez was plotting to take control of the bayou's smuggling operations, which would eventually lead him to discover the location of Agaté. Believing him to be the "Company Man", the head Templar of Louisiana, who de Ferrer mentioned in Chichén Itzá, Aveline immediately hurried to Agaté's hut to warn him of the threat posed by Vázquez's soldiers. Agaté told her to use the power of voodoo to spook the Spanish soldiers into abandoning their mission. Using her blowpipe, Aveline poisoned enough of Vázquez's soliders so that the rest believed they were cursed and fled the bayou.
Aveline returned to Chichén Itzá and made peace with her mother, who directed her to a canoe inside another cenote. Aveline navigated her way through the cenote and retrieved the final piece of the Prophecy Disk. She offered to bring her mother back to New Orleans, but Jeanne decided to stay behind to take care of the community, which was now rid of Templar influence.
Aveline returned to New Orleans, continuously working to free slaves in the city. Her stepmother, [[Madeleine de l'Isle]], became aware of her work and asked her to help a slave named [[George Davidson|George]] escape north. Aveline found a safe passage through the bayou for George to leave through. Whilst escorting him through the swamp, she met with her smuggler allies [[Élise Lafluer]] and [[Roussillon]], helping them to deliver supples to [[America|American]] patriots who were fighting in the [[American Revolutionary War]].
[[File:AC3L-Aristocrat_Dancing.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Aveline charming Vázquez at the governor's ball.]]
Vázquez attempted to stop Aveline and her allies by sending Spanish soldiers their way, but failed. Aveline defeated Vázquez's soldiers and ensured George and the supplies reached their destination.
After returning to the city, Aveline dressed herself in a noblewoman outfit and attended a governor's ball, in hopes that Vázquez himself would be there. After speaking with several guests, she located Vázquez and asked him to dance. Using her charm, she lured him to quiet corner and assassinated him. However, to Aveline's surprise, Vázquez revealed that he was not the Company Man. Following this, she learnt that her father, who had been ill, had passed away.
Aveline was weary and felt defeated, but was determined to uncover the identity of the Company Man, and thus, the head of the Templars in Louisiana. She spoke to Gérald, who told her that a Templar working for the Company Man had been found on the New York frontier. Aveline headed north, learning that the Templar was called Officer Davidson, a Loyalist soldier. Aveline reached the [[New York]] [[frontier]] in 1777 and met [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]], a half Native American, half European Assassin fighting the Templars during the American Revolution.
[[File:AC3L-Aveline_&_Connor.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Aveline and Connor on the New York frontier.]]
Aveline and Connor made their way through the frontier to a fort where Officer Davidson was located. Connor distracted the guards and allowed Aveline to slip inside the fort. She confronted Officer Davidson, shocked to learn that he was actually George, the escaped slave she had helped flee north. He attempted to escape, but Aveline managed to shoot his carriage and prevent his departure. From him, Aveline finally discovered the identity of the Company Man: Madeleine de L'Isle, her stepmother.
Upon returning to Louisiana, Aveline hurried to her family's mansion and confronted her stepmother. Madeleine revealed to Aveline that she had secretly manipulated her life, preparing her for induction into the Templar Order, as she believed that they shared a common goal.
Afterwards, Aveline traveled to the bayou and met with Agaté, informing him of Madeleine's identity as the Company Man. Agaté was unable to accept his failure and believing that Aveline had sided with the Templars, attacked her. Aveline overpowered him and attempted to convince him to leave Louisiana for his own safety, but Agaté could not live with the humiliation and instead chose to dive to his death. Aveline tried to grab him, but only managed to grasp his necklace which tore away from his neck.
[[File:ACLiberations_Construction_Artwork.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Aveline near Saint Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.]]
Following her mentor's death, Aveline saw her situation as an opportunity to infiltrate the Templars and eradicate it from within. Upon returning to New Orleans, she made her way to the Saint Louis Cathedral and gave Madeleine Agaté's necklace to show her allegiance. Following this, she was inducted into the Templar Order by her stepmother. Aveline then gave her the two halves of the Prophecy Disk, which Madeleine placed on an altar and added another piece to hold the two fragments together.
However, she could not make sense of the scrambled messages within and became frustrated. Aveline saw this as her moment to strike and reclaim the Prophecy Disk. She eliminated all the Templars inside the cathedral and assassinated Madeleine.
Now alone inside the cathedral, Aveline stepped up to the altar where the Prophecy Disk had been placed. She connected the locket she wore around her neck, which once belonged to her mother, to the artifact, causing it to display a holographic recording, detailing a message from the time of the First Civilization. This message recounted the election of [[Eve]] as the leader of the rebellion during the [[Human-First Civilization War]].
