Assassin's Creed: Liberation save corruption bug will be fixed in upcoming patch

The widely reported save corruption bug seen in Assassin's Creed: Liberation will be fixed in the next upcoming patch for the game, Ubisoft told Joystiq.

Earlier in the month it was reported the PlayStation Vita release included a bug that corrupts save files and traps the player in loading screens during boot up.

"Our team is in the process of finalizing the first patch for Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation," the Ubisoft statement read. "This will address the save game corruption issue that you asked about [previously]. We'll have a better idea on the timing of the patch soon."

Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation received a 6 out of 10 from Polygon, in a review that stated "For all its noble efforts to the contrary, Liberation still feels like a second-rate handheld port where it counts."
