Why is there 2 Liberation games?

[ジェームズ]

I purchased the whole steam bundle for the AC franchise. I've started playing AC 3 after finishing Revelations. I just noticed that there are now two Liberation games in my Steam Library (one in AC 3 and another standalone). After finishing AC 3 then I will play Liberation. Will my progress in Liberation be both applied in these 2 Liberation games?

This is why and if you care reading a little further down in that thread it'll also explain it better.
And quite probably way more succint than I, because atm I'm a seriously displeased customer regarding Ubi$oft and even more specifically when regarding their latest developments upon the Assassin's Creed (AC's) saga / franchise.

Basically, you've bought a bundle with Assassin's Creed: Liberations - HD (AC: L-HD), which was already a remaster of its console version. Although in AC III - Remaster it also comes remastered and bundled together with original AC III's remaster.
Imho, don't bother with AC: L-HD because the remaster made it controlling the character a tad better... although from personal opinion, the AC: Liberations story and handling is probably the worst AC game quality wise speaking, from the entire saga swiftly followed in by AC: Oddyssey, AC: Unity (AC:U) almost in a virtual tie with AC: Syndicate (AC:S). And AC: Valhalla is mostly excusable when playing it from a feminine Eivor's character side, because even being better than crappier than thou AC: Oddyssey it doesn't display a serious turning point intention from Ubi$oft in continuously trying to milk their (fidelized to the AC franchise) dry with those continued rush released titles that on top of having a AAA game price tag they also have predatory in-game's monetization "pay to progress faster" practices.

From ever since the AC: Rogue, excusable only due to its exquistelly tweaked mechanics (on top of the AC IV: Black Flag basis), the ony game that had escaped the awful sub-par quality releases was AC: Origins (AC:O), although I still haven't even bothered looking for AC: Mirage at this point.

Basically, Ubisoft wanted to shaft everyone who bought Liberation HD/original AC3 to make an easy buck, they made Liberation HD and the original AC3's dlc inaccessible even if you bought it just so you'd upgrade to AC3 Remastered that comes with all the dlc patched in, anyone buying the standalone Liberation HD at this point is getting screwed out of content. Anyway, somehow a port of a handheld game is better than anything they've released since Syndicate

Because they made Liberation and then when "remastering" AC 3 they added Liberation for "free". So yes indeed, you would get two of the same games...

No. The progress is kept separate as it is two separate releases.

The stand alone release is from 2014. It was originally for Vita in 2012.
The remaster is included with AC3 remaster since 2019. There is no way to purchase the remaster separately unlike the previous release.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
