Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Expansion Pack
Release Date: December 17, 2013
A standalone expansion to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag developed by an in-house Ubisoft studio. Unlike the base game, this time around, the player doesn't assume the role of Edward Kenway, but of his former quartermaster – Adewale, an emancipated black slave who joined the ranks of Assassins.
Freedom Cry is one of the first DLC’s for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and adds a new single player mini-campaign to the game.
Unlike in the standard game, here the main character is not Edward Kenway, but his quartermaster Adewale, a liberated black slave. Freedom Cry is set 15 years after the events in Black Flag. The protagonist embarks on a mission to recover a parcel from the hands of some Templars, but due to unforeseen incidents, he crashes near the city of Port-au-Prince. There, he encounters his enslaved kins men and decides to make justice by freeing them and taking revenge on their white masters.
Although initially Adewale has no weapons, he is not defenseless. After several years from joining with the Assassins, he has been trained in the art of assassination and became a walking killing machine. Among new weapons there are: blunderbusses, machetes, and firecrackers, helpful for distracting opponents. The use of these extraordinary abilities is the key to being successful throughout the 9 missions included in the mini-campaign of Freedom Cry.
Since we are dealing here with a DLC, neither the basic mechanisms, nor the technical aspect of the game did not change, as compared with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The expansion is standalone, so it is not necessary to own the original game.

Game Ratings for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Freedom Cry Video Game.
High-Def Digest: 4 / 5 by Brian Hoss
Backed by the production values of 'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag,' while highlighting some filthy all-too-recent history puts 'Freedom Cry' well above what usually passes for single player DLC. That 'Freedom Cry' also provides a stellar way for those unfamiliar with the franchise to experience the best of its current product, means it's perfect for those who haven't played 'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag' at all, which this review score reflects. Even so, Adewale's tale only scratches the surface of what could have been.
GamingTrend: 75 / 100 by Ron Burke
In the end, the DLC is $9.99, or double that for a season pass. While the story is compelling, it's also fairly light on a meaningful denouement. I enjoyed my time with it, but I can't help but feel like it could have waited a little longer to polish off some of the bugs, integrate the companion app (it's unsupported for the entire adventure – no map, no fleet things, etc.) and give us maybe one more mission to add at least some level of closure. I enjoyed my time with Freedom Cry, and I suppose the fact that I want more of it says something.
Destructoid: 8.5 / 10 by Chris Carter
If you wanted more Assassin's Creed IV, Freedom Cry will do just nicely. Although it doesn't offer as compelling a narrative or even close to as open of a world, it manages to capture the spirit of Black Flag in most of the right places. This is a much better effort than AC III's pointlessly episodic Tyranny of King George DLC, and a great model for Assassin's Creed add-ons going forward.
