Which Assassin's Creed game stars Adéwalé in its main campaign?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry stars Adéwalé in its main campaign. Originally released as downloadable content for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, it later became available as a standalone game.

Adéwalé is a former slave who becomes an Assassin and serves as Edward Kenway's quartermaster aboard the Jackdaw in Black Flag. Freedom Cry takes place about fifteen years after Black Flag and moves the action to Saint-Domingue, a French colony in the Caribbean. The story focuses on Adéwalé's efforts to oppose slavery and help people escape bondage.

The game is distinct from Assassin's Creed Liberation, whose protagonist is Aveline de Grandpré, and from Assassin's Creed Rogue, which follows Shay Cormac. Freedom Cry is also notable for placing Adéwalé's identity and the colonial slave trade at the center of its narrative rather than treating them as background details.
