We've got a lot in store for you this month!
With the release of the last episode of Legacy of the First Blade, an all-new Lost Tale of Greece, and the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed® III Remastered – including Assassin's Creed® III Liberation Remastered – there's plenty to look forward to in March.
LEGACY OF THE FIRST BLADE – EPISODE 3: BLOODLINE
In this third installment, you will finally come face to face with the mysterious foe that has been playing puppet master throughout the Legacy of the First Blade story arc.
After a brutal attack, you will battle for the hard-won legacy and try to put a stop to those who are trying to eradicate the Tainted Ones.
Bloodline is the final episode of Legacy of the First Blade and is now available.
To start Episode 3, you will need to complete the first two episodes, Hunted and Shadow Heritage, finish the Naxos questline in Chapter 7 of the main story, and have reached level 28 or above.
THE LOST TALES OF GREECE
A FRIEND WORTH DYING FOR
In A Friend Worth Dying For, Barnabas is plagued with delirious hallucinations of a loved one after an encounter at a bandit camp. He confides in you what he's seen and asks that you help him discover what these visions mean... and find out if there is any truth to them.
A Friend Worth Dying For will be available on March 26.
You will need to have reached Chapter 5 in the main path of Assassin's Creed® Odyssey to access all Lost Tales of Greece. To get started, visit the island of Skyros and keep an eye out for the questline Odyssey into the Past.

Assassin's Creed III Remastered
With the release of Assassin's Creed III Remastered, which includes Assassin's Creed III Liberation Remastered (coming soon), we wanted to take a look at all the exciting details!
Technical Improvements
The remaster will include new enhancements that consist of higher-resolution textures, as well as support for 4K and HDR. Our vision was to take advantage of newer technology to bring this classic game up to match the quality of the current Assassin's Creed games.
With increased model improvements and physically based rendering (PBR), Assassin's Creed III Remastered displays more visually accurate images using real-world light and material properties that make the world feel more alive!
Gameplay Improvements
In addition to the technical upgrades, the remaster will also include new gameplay improvements, thanks to community feedback shared from the release of the original game.
The game UI (user interface) has undergone a big makeover to better align with today's standards (such as including color-blind settings to help spot enemies in the Mini Map) to deliver a more enjoyable player experience!
The in-game economy has been revamped to be easily visible and offer added benefits, such as additional weapons for crafting.
New stealth features are also included in the Remaster, as well as the ability to hide in bushes, call enemies over with a whistle, and perform double assassinations, creating a better balance between action and stealth.
And, of course, we can't forget the new Legacy Outfits that will pay homage to other notable Assassins, such as Alexios, Bayek and Aguilar!
Switch Release
Assassin's Creed III Remastered will also release on Nintendo Switch system!
This release will include improved ergonomics and gameplay mechanics, and will also make use of exclusive Nintendo Switch features, such as:
- HD Rumble – provides an additional layer of feedback during gameplay
- Touch screen interface – enhances accessibility for game menus
- Motion Control – ensures an intuitive controlled feeling during distant weapon aiming
- Specific UI design – provides HUD adaptation for different display modes (Docked or Handheld gameplay)
Assassin's Creed III Remastered will be available on PlayStation®4 system, Xbox One, and PC on March 29, 2019, and on Nintendo SwitchTM system on May 21, 2019.
