Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Freedom Cry Releases on 19/12

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has proven to be the stand out title on PS4 with countless hours of gameplay available just through the main story and various side missions but there's even more to come.

In just 2 days time, we Aussies and our NZ brethren will be able to download the Freedom Cry DLC which tells the story of Edward Kenway's former first mate, Adewale. One of the coolest things about this DLC is the character himself. Throughout the main campaign Adewale proved himself to be extremely interesting and hinted at a much grander story to tell. As an added bonus, Freedom Cry promises to be bloody, brutal and bad arse.
