Assassin's Creed 4 single-player DLC launching December 17

Players eager to see where the story of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag heads next will be able to do just that on December 17 when the game's single-player Freedom Cry DLC is released.

The release date was featured in an advertisement for the game in the latest issue of the Game Informer magazine (via Videogamer). The Freedom Cry expansion puts players into the boots of Edward Kenway's first mate Adéwalé. The expansion, set fifteen years after the events of the main campaign, spans nine missions totaling more than 4 hours of content.

The advertisement features logos for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, but no mention of Wii U or PC. Also, no price for the content was mentioned, though it is included with the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag season pass. A Ubisoft representative was not immediately available to comment.
