“Born a slave, Adewale found freedom as a pirate aboard Edward Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw. 15 years later, Adewale has become a trained Assassin who finds himself shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue without weapons or crew. He now has to acquire a ship and gather his own crew to free the slaves and avenge them. Over 3 hours of new single-player gameplay!”
Gameplay and Features
The Freedom Cry DLC is set several years after the events of Black Flag, offering a fresh perspective and new challenges. Adewale’s journey is not just about survival but also about liberation and justice. The gameplay involves a mix of naval combat, exploration, and stealth missions, staying true to the core mechanics of the Assassin’s Creed series. Players will navigate the treacherous waters of the Caribbean, engage in intense ship battles, and undertake daring missions to free enslaved people.
One of the standout features of the DLC is the emphasis on Adewale’s character development. Unlike Edward Kenway, who was driven by personal gain, Adewale’s motivations are deeply rooted in his past as a slave. This adds a layer of emotional depth to the narrative, making the gameplay experience more engaging and thought-provoking.
The DLC also introduces new weapons and tools that Adewale can use to fight against his enemies. These include a machete for close combat and a blunderbuss for ranged attacks. Additionally, players can utilize the environment to their advantage, setting traps and using stealth tactics to outsmart their foes.
