This article is about the in-universe video game. You may be looking for its real world counterpart.
An advertisement of Liberation in Montreal

Liberation is a 2012 video game developed in partnership by Abstergo Entertainment and Ubisoft. The game follows the story of Aveline de Grandpré, daughter of the wealthy French merchant Philippe de Grandpré and his placée bride Jeanne.[1]

Development[edit | edit source]

Compiled from recordings collected from Subject 1,[2] the game presents a heavily distorted view of Aveline's life, omitting any overt mention of the Assassins and Templars and portraying Aveline's false defection to the latter as genuine. In response to this, the hacking collective known as Erudito actively worked to re-introduce the truth into the game, allowing players to view the full extent of Aveline's genetic memories.[1]

Despite Erudito's actions, Liberation was considered such a success that it prompted Abstergo Industries to expand their entertainment branch to Montreal and hire research analysts for their next project.[3] In 2013, the Montreal office had advertisements for the game routinely displayed on its walls and screens.[4]

The Liberation of Lady Aveline on Helix

In August 2014, Abstergo Entertainment's CCO Melanie Lemay sent an email to Kristina Uhrich about a possible follow-up to Liberation, having found footage of Aveline's time in New England in 1784, though she recognized that it would take some resources they did not have at the time.[5] The sequel game was later released on Helix as The Liberation of Lady Aveline.[6]

Game credits[edit | edit source]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

Liberation is the in-universe counterpart to the real-world video game Assassin's Creed III: Liberation released by Ubisoft. Though usually referred to by its proper name, in the player's Employee Passport, the game is referred to as Assassin's Creed III: Liberation.

In Assassin's Creed: Unity, the Helix menu used the image of Aveline in New Orleans. But Assassin's Creed: Rogue revealed the activity of The Liberation of Lady Aveline was set in New England which refers to the Aveline DLC for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
