Assassin's Creed 4: Freedom Cry Releasing as Standalone Title

Ubisoft has announced Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's Freedom Cry DLC will be released as a standalone title.

Freedom Cry will be available via download on PS4 and PS3 from February 18 in North America and February 19 in Europe, with a PC version on the way on February 25. The fact it's standalone means you won't need to buy Black Flag in order to play it, and both versions will cost $14.99.

We heard last week that claims over Ubisoft having planned the ending of the Assassin's Creed franchise are "not exactly true," according to one of the series' writers.
