The divisive American Revolution instalment in the Assassin’s Creed series is coming to the PlayStation 4 next March, with all of its DLC included and enhanced visuals. Part of the Season Pass for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, you’ll be able to relive the 18th Century tale of Connor in Assassin's Creed III Remastered, as “your clan is threatened by a powerful group seeking to control the thirteen colonies”.
The game will be updated for modern hardware, and will take advantage of the PS4 Pro, adding 4K visuals and HDR support. It’ll be accompanied in the Season Pass by Assassin’s Creed III Liberation Remastered, a port of the PS Vita spin-off starring female protagonist Aveline. This was previously converted to the PlayStation 3, but will appear on the PS4 for the first time next year.
You’ll get access to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Season Pass as part of the Gold, Ultimate, Spartan, and Pantheon Editions – yes, there really are that many – or you’ll be able to purchase it individually for $39.99. Considering you’ll also get two bonus campaigns for the main game as well, this actually sounds like a decent deal.

It's kinda worrying that they're feeling the need to give out old games as part of the season pass for Odyssey. Of course, maybe they want to ensure people actually get to play some Assassin's Creed as part of the deal.
Ew. Assassin's Creed 3 was the worst AC game in the franchise by far. Never played Liberation though.
I'm excited for Odyssey though. It looks like a great RPG!
they should have remastered the whole colonial era in one collection like the ezio trilogy
What! I just bought AC3 on PC in prep for Thanksgiving, lol. It's the only Thanksgiving-y game I know...meaning the only game where you play as a Native American in a colonial setting. Well...looks Iike I'll have to wait for the remaster now! No sense in playing an inferior version.
No not ac 3 thats the most boring entry, and the only ac that i have never completed
If I am right, only the first game won't be playable on ps4 now. Maybe they could release it as a "remaster" next year, as there isn't going to be a new entry.
Im happy with this. Didn't get to play liberation and while 3 isnt the best Id still replay. Ubisoft doing good with season pass content with far cry and assassin's creed. At least price wise if not quality lol
At least you can buy it separately.
I liked 3 but never played Liberation.
IDK seems a little late to me to be porting old games nobody has the time to play to PS4, just wait a couple of years and port them to PS5 instead. Unless they know PS5 will be BC and play PS4 games, then by all means carry on.
But no I'm not joking, I'm serious. Were people clamoring for a port of AC3 on PS4? It's not GoW3 by any means.
they should have remastered the original Assassins Creed
@Jaz007 I think it's getting to be a trend of Ubisoft, as they did the same thing with Far Cry 5 by offering the remaster of Far Cry 3 in its season pass.
@stevenfins And you'd be correct, unless you want to count the PSP immediate sequel to the first Assassin's Creed or any other portable games that I'm forgetting. I really hope they make and release a remaster of the first (perhaps the "director's cut" PC version that to my understanding adds some more variety to the side missions) soon, as I've been wanting to do a massive play through of all the Assassin Creed games and it'd be quite convenient to have them all on the same console.
@MysticMask Good luck with your playthrough. If it's your first time with the games, know that they'll take a lot of time to complete, but I think they are worth it. I too sometimes think of replaying them, but my free time doesn't permit. I'd love to know which ones you'll like the most. My personal favourites are of course the Ezio trilogy, Black Flag and the much in my opinion underapreciated, Rogue.
@stevenfins I've played the first one and II, but that's it. Started up Brotherhood on the 360 back when it released, but right after booting it up my console RROD'ed, and by the time I got that fixed some other game came out that grabbed my attention more at the time. And since I heard that Brotherhood ALSO ended on a cliffhanger, I figured I'd just wait until the next yearly release came out before playing through both...and just hadn't gotten around to jumping back into the series since.
I still fire up my copy of AC3 on my Wii U every now and then. I even restarted the campaign again recently. It's not bad and was a good entry to AC for me. Loved Black Flag when that came out.
Not gonna touch 3. Easily the worst of the series, which sucks. I preordered that game and got it on a midnight release. I was so excited cause I loved the aesthetic but man oh man was I disappointed.
@Jaz007 more complaining
Did they give an option to skip the 4 hour tutorial?
@RedMageLanakyn oh god yes, that was so booooring.
I think at one point the game was teaching me how to hide in a hay bale during a 20 min game of hide and seek as a youngster. That was about the 3 hour mark or so.
Not too excited about AC3 reissue, although I heard the DLC was quite entertaining (never played the DLC).
AC3 was absolutely boring dull as dish water I pre ordered it and got the special edition with the t shirt and medal etc. I started the MP mode first to get the trophies and see the Wolfpack mode which was ok. Then I went on to the story and it was dull the framerate was terrible which would cause Connor to go in the wrong direction or do something you didn't want to. The combat was difficult sometimes because you had to parry the block and then you could counter attack, unlike before you could just counter and it would be just easier. I suppose for fans of it it should have a better framerate in fact it's probably the pc code
Good news i suppose. Never played 3 or Liberation originaly and have already pre ordered the sparta edition of odyssey so not have to buy them. Happy days.
Ill buy the base game and move on im done with the liveserviceeee stuff. 😁
@Futureshark I never got through that game, mainly due to my game save getting corrupted twice, so I did that tutorial again.
It was my first AC game and while I moderately enjoyed it, it is pretty boring compared to, say, Black Flag. Still a decent and atmospheric game though.
@get2sammyb Do we know the exact release dates and prices for the standalone versions of AC3 and Liberation Remastered?
@JoeBlogs "assassins creed name on the box"
But it sounds like its' only digital, part of the DLC season pass, no boxed version. Unles sI'm reading it wrong.
Sorry, I couldn't tell by your tone if you were making that joke or not.
@rjejr It's been confirmed that both AC3 and Liberation Remastered can be bought standalone, without owning Odyssey or the Season Pass.
"The last major, and most surprising, addition to the season pass is Assassin’s Creed III Remastered, which fans will remember centers on the American Revolution. This remaster will be released in March 2019 and can be purchased outside of the season pass for an as-of-yet unannounced price."

@Jaz007 that's because they know they messed up the entire lore of the series with Odyssey by introducing a choice system (not a bad system in it's own right but for some games it's not needed especially if it goes against the lore and story of previous games in the franchise, these are supposed to be memories after all so how can you make choices?) so they are afraid they will lose long time players
of course IF they was going to do something like this then they could have picked a AC game people actually liked, AC3 was boring as hell
Great news as I much prefer these older AC games.
why sc 3 and liberation? Ac1 & ac bloodlines remastered wouldve been good, even that nintendo ds assassins dreed game is beteer than moody connor
