Assassin's Creed Liberation

Published by Ubisoft in 2012 for the Playstation Vita, with a subsequent HD re-release for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360

How does the trailer for Assassin's Creed Liberation target a specialised and a generalised audience?
Some of the parts of the trailer are supposed to feel cinematic and appeal to a wider audience who want a more cinematic experience - something that appears in the Uncharted games.
There is a strong narrative within the game and trailer about colonialism
Fans of the original version of the game will appreciate some of the more technical aspects, such as the HD remaster for newer and more popular consoles
As this is the third entry into the series, the specialised audience aka fans of the previous games will already recognise some aspects of the games (hidden blades etc)
Black female protagonist, this can appeal to more female audiences, ethnic audiences, and general progressive audiences, this also makes the trailer quite unconventional because it goes against norms.
Action codes within the trailer, much like a film trailer.
