    You can tell nobody has ever played Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry because what do you mean the game where you play as an ex-slave freeing other slaves in the carribean uses black people as an upgrade resource so they're just collectibles and I'm only finding this out now. Holy shit dude

    Considering why Ubisoft reportedly binned a Civil War Assassin's Creed game, I am kind of side-eyeing the lack of Freedom Cry in the Black Flag remake. www.gamefile.news/p/scoop-ubis...

    There was a game called AC: Freedom Cry, it was a spin-off of AC: Black Flag that was as cool of a game conceptually as I've played. I wish Ubisoft had fully developed it. They managed to pull very few punches without engaging in sensationalizing Black bondage. This was all before Woke of course.

    Random side note re AC Black Flag Resync I wish they also put a spotlight on the Freedom Cry DLC, because I thought it was a great way to utilise the game format to make a pointed statement. But hey, hope people like their nostalgia.

    Ubisoft used to be really good at this by largely reusing the same overall landscape for a smaller, more focused game with a spin on what came before. (AC Rogue and Freedom Cry; Far Cry: Primal and New Dawn)

    Ubisoft cancelling a game for being too mean to the Klan is sort of unfortunately par for the course Liberation and Freedom Cry, the only two AC games focused on slavery and race at all were relegated to expansions so we could watch a welsh pirate be sad his abused wife left

    You really never know what you're going to get with Assassin's Creed. It's such an up and down series. Generally you get great characterization and story, but you never know if the game will be incredibly inspired or total ass. Aside from aforementioned, I liked Syndicate, Valhalla and Freedom Cry.

    So I think they made some bullshit statement iirc about “the current landscape” but the decision to drop Freedom Cry from the remake was very intentional, they did add in the smaller dlc from the og game and a new story about Blackbeard. Which sucks cuz like the devs COOKED back then.

    Wait so Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced doesn't include Freedom Cry? That DLC was fantastic though It is hard not to feel cynical about why it wasn't included, especially with it directly addressing the slave trade. Same reason why they scrapped an American Civil War themed game. Cowardly

    Freedom Cry DLC for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has players freeing Hatian slaves from plantations. This canceled idea wouldn't even be the first time a game like this was released by Ubisoft. It's just that they chickened out this time cause of Trump and his cult.

    Saw the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced reveal. Definitely looks very good in motion, the Caribbean History buff in me appreciates the lore, and it is still the best AC game. The modern Abstergo sections being removed and also Freedom Cry being strangely absent are quite a bummer though.

    They also conveniently decided to cut the Freedom Cry DLC for Black Flag which also just happens to involve a former slave freeing other slaves. I would totally buy their explanation that they just wanna focus on Edward's story if it wasn't for the aforementioned Civil War game being canned.

    One of everyone's favorites of this series, BLACK FLAG, features a freed slave named Adewale who is Edward Kenway's quartermaster & conscience until he joins the Assassin's himself and stars in the game's featured DLC - "Freedom Cry." But that game released pre-GamerGate, so it "doesn't count."

    Playing AC Freedom Cry now. Reminds me that the worst mission in Rogue is hunting down Adewale. You spend one whole game with the guy as your quartermaster, and then you run around the Caribbean freeing slaves as him in this. Shay even feels guilty and admits that he's a great guy.
