What is the name of the first Assassin’s Creed game released for the PlayStation Vita?

Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation was the first Assassin’s Creed game released for the PlayStation Vita.

Liberation launched in 2012 as a companion title to Assassin’s Creed III. It stars Aveline de Grandpré, an Assassin operating in 18th-century Louisiana. The game uses the Vita’s hardware for touch controls, rear touch-pad features, motion input, and other platform-specific interactions.

Aveline’s story includes New Orleans, the Louisiana bayou, and parts of the Gulf Coast. Her missions use three personas—the Lady, the Assassin, and the Slave—to change how she moves through society and which activities are available.

Liberation is distinct from Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, which was released for the PlayStation Portable in 2009. It was later remastered as Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD for other platforms. The Vita version’s relationship to Assassin’s Creed III makes it a console companion, but it has its own protagonist and narrative.
