What is Assassin’s Creed III Remastered?
- It’s a 2019 remaster of the 2012 game Assassin’s Creed III, developed by Ubisoft Barcelona. It includes upscaled visuals, improved lighting, higher-resolution textures, and gameplay tweaks, plus a remastered port of Assassin’s Creed: Liberation. It also bundles all solo DLC for the base game, including The Tyranny of King Washington. A multiplayer mode from the original did not return in the Remastered version.
Release timeline and platforms:
- Original announcement indicated a March 29, 2019 release date for the remastered title on Windows PC, Xbox One, and PS4, with a Nintendo Switch version released a bit later (May 21, 2019).
- The remaster was offered both as a standalone purchase and as part of the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Season Pass (at the time of its initial rollout).
Notable updates and reception:
- The remaster targeted 4K and HDR on compatible platforms (PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, and PC), with revamped textures and a redesigned graphics engine to improve visuals and immersion. It also updated stealth mechanics and added more options for stealth gameplay relative to the original.
- In 2025, Ubisoft issued a PC Steam achievement update for Assassin’s Creed III Remastered, including achievements for the Tyranny of King Washington DLC and Liberation Remastered, signaling ongoing support for the title on PC.
What’s happened since:
- The Remastered version remains the definitive “collection” version for those interested in Connor’s story and Liberation content, with all single-player DLC included. There’s been periodic press coverage about retrospectives or updates, but no new major sequels or expansions specifically branded as “AC3 Remastered” have been announced as of the latest updates.
