Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft, released for PlayStation 3. Set in 18th century New Orleans, it follows Aveline de Grandpré, a female Assassin of mixed heritage, as she battles the oppression of slavery and British influence. The narrative unfolds alongside a modern-day storyline involving the hacker group Erudito, which reveals the truth behind Abstergo Entertainment's censorship.
In the modern day, Abstergo Entertainment, a subsidiary of Abstergo which is in charge of producing multimedia goods, releases their first major product, Liberation, a video game about the life of the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré. The game, however, is heavily censored, with any details regarding the Assassins - Templar war being comitted, in an attempt to portray the Assassins as the villainous force. As the player progresses through the game, they are greeted by messages from a group of hackers known as Erudito, giving them access to the full story hidden behind Abstergo's censoring attempts.
