A new trailer has been released for Assassin’s Creed 4 by Ubisoft that provides more information about the infamous cast of characters you’ll come across in Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag.
The latest Assassin’s Creed 4 trailer includes commentary from Matt Ryan, the voice actor behind Captain Edward Kenway, and includes the backstory and motivations of historical pirates such as Blackbeard, Charles Vane, and Benjamin Hornigold from the true Golden Age of Pirates.
“The year is 1715. Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established their own lawless Republic where corruption, greediness and cruelty are commonplace.
Among these outlaws is a brash young captain named Edward Kenway. His fight for glory has earned him the respect of legends like Blackbeard, but also drawn him into the ancient war between Assassins and Templars, a war that may destroy everything the pirates have built.”
The Golden Age of Piracy
The Golden Age of Piracy, spanning from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, was a time when pirates were at their peak in the Caribbean. This era is characterized by the rise of notorious pirates who became legends in their own right. Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag immerses players in this tumultuous period, allowing them to experience the life of a pirate through the eyes of Edward Kenway.
Edward Kenway, a young and ambitious captain, is driven by a desire for glory and riches. His journey is not just about plundering ships and treasure; it’s also about navigating the complex relationships and politics of the pirate world. The game delves into the lives of real historical figures like Blackbeard, known for his fearsome appearance and ruthless tactics; Charles Vane, infamous for his violent temper and rebellious nature; and Benjamin Hornigold, a pirate who eventually turned pirate hunter.
Historical Accuracy and Gameplay
Ubisoft has gone to great lengths to ensure historical accuracy in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. The game features meticulously recreated ships, weapons, and locations from the early 18th century. Players can explore bustling port cities, lush jungles, and hidden coves, each teeming with opportunities for adventure and discovery. The attention to detail extends to the portrayal of pirate life, from the camaraderie and code of conduct among pirates to the brutal reality of naval battles.
The gameplay in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag is a blend of naval combat, exploration, and traditional Assassin’s Creed stealth and parkour mechanics. Players can command their ship, the Jackdaw, and engage in epic sea battles, boarding enemy vessels to claim their loot. The open-world nature of the game allows for a high degree of freedom, with numerous side quests and activities to undertake, such as hunting for treasure, harpooning whales, and uncovering ancient ruins.
Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag will be launching on October 29th in the US on Xbox 360, PS3, and on the next generation consoles when they launch later this year.
