Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag Gameplay

The now yearly Assassins Creed franchise has been given some in-game footage in the form of ‘Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag’. This shows off naval battles (which became a popular side mission in the last outing) as well as underwater exploration and new locations.

The new game will feature Havana, full of decaying European buildings and jungle like locations as well as Kingston with its grassy streets and timber houses.

It’s our first real look at an Assassin’s Creed for next-generation consoles as well although it’s unclear whether the PS4 or long rumour ‘next-Box’ will actually feature the game at all.

New copies of the game will come with the now standard ‘VIP Entry’ for bonus content and rewards. It sounds like you’ll get entry into some kind of social network too where you can show-off videos and compare skills.

There’s no mention of an Online Pass or Season Tickets but the ‘VIP system’ sounds like the same thing to me.

Ubisoft have also outlined the usual array of special editions with a Special Edition, a Skull edition and ‘apparently’ a huge Black Chest edition which will be an exclusive to the Uplay store.
