Assassins' Creed 4: Black Flag

Hey guys, Nick here to talk about the highly anticipated next chapter of the Assassins' Creed series, Black Flag.

This game is the sixth installment in the AC timeline, even though it is labeled as the 4th. The reason is simple, both Brotherhood and Revelations featured the same ancestor so they were considered expansions to the same story where Assassins' Creed 3 features a brand new ancestor. This time the story follows a man named Edward Kenway, who is the father of Haytham Kenway and the grandfather of Connor, the hero of the third game.

The game is to be set a bit further in the past than in Assassins' Creed 3, in the 18th century Caribbean Sea with the entire game themed more around Pirates. The gameplay will accomodate this by implementing more of what we got a taste for in the last game, naval missions. This game is said to be approximately 40% aboard your ship pillaging enemy ships and performing missions detrimental to the story, this time around the ship will be fully up-gradable with even more weapons and abilities than in the last game which gave us a small taste of what was to come in Black Flag.

There is no doubt in my mind that this game is going to be great, but one question seems to be floating around everybodys lips, who is going to replace Desmond? Well with a bit of research I have found the answer. Us. Yes, the players themselves will be taking the main role of the game, not as a kick-ass assassin in training...but as programmers...Desmonds memories have been secured in the animus and it is up to us to access them and relive them ourselves to progress through the story. The game is expected to be released by the end of October 2013.
