Freedom Cry DLC coming soon for ACIV

Ubisoft has just confirmed that the forthcoming story DLC for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Freedom Cry, is coming to consoles and PC next week.

The story driven content, which features Edward Kenway's first mate Adewale, offers nine new missions and a story that's separate from the main campaign. Here's the brief description offered in the press release:

Born a slave, Adewale found freedom as a pirate aboard the Jackdaw as captain Edward Kenway's second-in-command. Fifteen years later, Adewale has become a trained assassin and finds himself shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue with no weapons or crew, starting a new adventure of his own.

It'll be available on December 17 on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC, and on December 18 on PS3 and PS4. If you've already bought the Season Pass then you've already paid for this.
