Assassin's Creed III: Avengeance

Assassin's Creed III: Avengeance is the fourth downloadable content (DLC) pack for Assassin's Creed III. It was released on May 9, 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U and Microsoft Windows. Officially revealed on March 12, 2013, the pack is a purely single player story mode that expands on the plot of the original game. The story follows an aging Connor (Ratonhnhaké:ton) and his son Elliot (Elsu) as they struggle to fight the Templars, who have slowly but surely gained an edge in the years following the destruction of their Order.

Gameplay
The gameplay format of Assassin's Creed III: Avengeance is essentially the same as the original game, but with some noticable improvements. For example, managing your Assassin recruits is much more interactive; with the ability to physically send recruits to locations across the United States and choose their gear. Along with natural improvements, the pack also introduces some new features; such as the ability to crouch at will and Eagle Focus, which allows the player to slow down time.

Setting
The game is primarily set in the United States during the Civil War era but features some backstory following Connor's life after the Revolutionary War.

After the events of Assassin's Creed III, a group of hackers named Dylan, Adam and Joseph stumble upon the Animus 3.0 while investigating the Grand Temple. Believing that by decrypting it and uploading its software to a cloud computing network, the hackers would find lost trasures whose locations were sealed inside genetic memories and become rich for their discoveries. However, Joseph, who volunteered to enter the Animus via DDS firmware, becomes stuck when the Animus experiences a glitch. This causes a synch loop to occur, in which a person must relive a certain amount of genetic memories before they can fully leave.
