It’s certainly not the best game in the franchise though does open up yet another chapter in the Assassin’s Creed saga. “Even with a one-year gap between them, there are enough similarities between Liberation and Black Flag to recommend the former. We reviewed the upscaled Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD in 2014, saying: It didn’t take too long for Ubisoft to see the opportunity to port it to other systems and get a larger audience. The game originally released for the PlayStation Vita in 2012, promising a fully fledged standalone adventure tailored to Sony’s plucky handheld, contrasting to that of Assassin’s Creed III on home consoles and PC. It’s also quite unfortunate that this erasure will affect the first Assassin’s Creed game with a female and black protagonist, putting players in the shoes of Aveline de Grandpré. While removing it from sale makes sense, making it inaccessible to people that bought it is frankly unacceptable, and shows one of the dangers of the increasingly digital first approach to buying and accessing video games. Ubisoft seem to be cutting it off instead of putting in the work to maintain its playability on PC.
One of the upvoted reviews on the Steam page lists how you need to find the executable, switch to compatibility mode, run as an admin, and disable Steam and Nvidia overlays. It seems that access to the game is being removed simply because it’s a game that has struggled to run with modern PC software. This was already enough to frustrate fans who will see access to things that they paid for removed, but at the very least, the main games would still be accessible.Īssassin’s Creed Liberation on PC, however, is another matter entirely.
Not only is Ubisoft removing multiplayer functionality, but the baked in UPlay (now Ubisoft Connect) functionality is being deprecated, and so is the ability to download and install DLC packs for these games. So, why completely switch off access to the game? The move will come coincidentally alongside the deactivation of online servers and support for a number of Ubisoft games in September, with AC Liberation just one of a number of Assassin’s Creed games, alongside older Far Cry, Anno, Splinter Cell and other games.
