Assassin's Creed III Remastered Launch Date Announced

There is a lot of Assassin’s Creed fans out there, so all of you should pay attention. Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed III Remastered, developed by Ubisoft Barcelona, will launch on March 29 for various platforms, including the Xbox One. It can be pre-ordered, retail for Xbox One, as a stand-alone game for $39.99 and is also part of the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Season Pass.

The Remastered edition will feature 4K and HDR, as well as higher resolution textures, a new graphics engine and several other graphical enhancements. Gameplay mechanics and ergonomics have also been improved. 

What can you expect in this remastered package. Well, it will include the full game, the single-player missions Benedict Arnold and Hidden Secrets, the Tyranny of King Washington and Assassin’s Creed III Liberation Remastered. Details for all of this is below:

• Assassin’s Creed III Remastered: Players will embody Connor, a master Assassin born of the beauty and brutality of 18th-century America. As a bloody revolution draws near, your tribe is threatened by a powerful group seeking to crush the American Revolution and control the thirteen colonies. Shocked into action by the devastation of your village, you pledge your life to the cause of freedom and embark on a decades-long quest to achieve it. 

• Tyranny of King Washington: Explore an alternate history where one of America’s greatest heroes, George Washington, succumbs to the temptation of infinite power. The new King is born and his reign leaves no one untouched. Players must return freedom to the land by dethroning the tyrant our hero once called a friend.

• Assassin’s Creed III Liberation Remastered: Follow Aveline’s story as she battles Spanish forces in the American south to win freedom for her land and people. A woman of conviction, Aveline fights for freedom in 18th-century New Orleans, a city on the brink of a rebellion as the Spanish Empire imposes its new rule. Embark on an epic journey that will take her from the crowded streets of New Orleans to voodoo-haunted swamps and ancient Mayan ruins.

Seeing these games, and DLC, on todays consoles in 4K and HDR should be a treat, as they already looked fairly good on the consoles or platform they were on previously.
