Assassin's Creed III: Liberation

"I seek liberty and freedom, not for myself, but for those whom such fundamental rights are denied. I am their shield, their sword, their only hope. The roads I travel are dark, but they bring me closer to the light. I move unseen and strike when they least expect it. I am Aveline de Grandpré. I am an Assassin."

Liberation will also include a new "touch to kill" option, allowing Aveline to chain kills together once a certain number of attacks have already been executed, amongst other features such as using the touch-screen to row while in canoes. Accompanying this, Aveline can enter an outfit shop to dress in disguises, which provide advantages and disadvantages for each of the costumes available.
