Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is an upcoming historical action-adventure open world video game being developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.[11] It is the sixth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, a sequel to 2012's Assassin's Creed III modern story and a prequel to its historical storyline.
It is scheduled for an October 29, 2013 release in North America, an October 31, 2013 release for Australia, a European release on November 1, 2013 and a Japanese release on November 28, 2013.[6] It will be available for PlayStation 3, Wii U, and the Xbox 360. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are also in development, and the game has been announced as a launch title for both consoles.[7][9] The Wii U version of the game was delayed until November 22, 2013 in Europe.[5] A Microsoft Windows version was announced for release on October 29, 2013, but has since been delayed "a few weeks",[16] and will now release on November 19, 2013 in North America and November 22, 2013 in Europe.[5]
Gameplay
The game will feature three main cities; Havana, Kingston, and Nassau, Bahamas, which reside under Spanish, British and pirate influence, respectively.[11] The game will also feature 50 other 'unique' locations to explore, with a 60/40 balance between land and naval exploration.[13] Assassin's Creed IV will have a more open world feel, with missions similar to those found in Assassin's Creed, as well as fewer restrictions for the player. The world opens up sooner in the game, as opposed to Assassin's Creed III, which had very scripted missions and did not give players freedom to explore until the game was well into its first act.[11][17][18][19] The player will encounter jungles, forts, ruins and small villages and the world is being built to allow players much more freedom, such as allowing players to engage, board, and capture passing ships and swimming to nearby beaches in a seamless fashion.[13][15] In addition, the hunting system has been retained from Assassin's Creed III, allowing the player to hunt on land, and harpoon in the water.[13]
A new aspect in the game is the ship the player will captain, Jackdaw. The Jackdaw will be upgradeable throughout the game, as well as having easy access to the ship when needed.[17] In addition, a new underwater component is being added.[11] The player will also have access to a spyglass, allowing the examination of distant ships, along with their cargo and strength. It can also help determine if an island still has animals to hunt, treasures to find or high points to reach for synchronization.[11] An updated form of the recruit system introduced in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will also return,[11] allowing Edward to recruit crew members. While Kenway's crew will remain loyal to him, and can be promoted to captain acquired ships, they cannot assist you in combat or perform long-range assassinations, as in previous games. Ubisoft removed this aspect of the brotherhood system, believing it allowed players to bypass tense and challenging scenarios too easily.[20]
In the present day, at the Abstergo Entertainment — a subsidiary of Abstergo Industries — offices in Montreal, Quebec, players will engage in modern day pirating through the exploring of Abstergo's offices, eavesdropping and hacking, all without combat. As well, various "hacking" games, similar to previous cluster and glyph puzzles, will be present, that will uncover secrets about Abstergo.[21]
Multiplayer has been confirmed to return, with new settings and game modes, though it will only be land-based.[11]
Synopsis
Characters
The main character of the game will be Edward Kenway (Matt Ryan),[22] a British privateer-turned-pirate and eventual member of the Assassin Order; father of Haytham Kenway, and grandfather of Ratonhnhaké:ton, the two playable characters of Assassin's Creed III. Real-life individuals that will be encountered include the pirates Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch[note 1][23] (Mark Bonnar),[22] Benjamin Hornigold,[11] Anne Bonny,[11] Calico Jack[11] and Charles Vane[11] (Ralph Ineson).[22]
Plot
As is the case in previous games in the Assassin's Creed series, the story is divided into two intertwined halves, with one in the present day, one in a historical setting, and the events of each influencing the other. Although the present-day story had previously established that an Animus was required to view one's ancestors memories, the ending of Assassin's Creed III implies that Desmond's genetic memories have now been uploaded on to 'the cloud'.[15] As such, the player's character is hired by Abstergo Entertainment to investigate a pivotal movement in Desmond's ancestry; the Assassin Edward Kenway.[24] A notorious pirate and privateer operating during the Golden Age of Piracy, Kenway's story is set in the Caribbean, and mixes open-ended ship-based exploration with combat and land-based adventures on a number of Caribbean islands, as well as parts of southern Florida.[25][26][27]
Development
In early February 2013, during its quarterly financial call to investors, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the next Assassin's Creed game, due for release some time before April 2014, would feature a new hero, time period, and development team.[28] On February 28, 2013, Ubisoft posted their first promotional picture and cover for their next Assassin's Creed game, following leaked marketing material days before.[29] It announced the title of the game as Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and featured an unnamed character holding a flintlock and a sword with a black flag in the back ground containing the Assassin's symbol with a skull.[29] A reported glitch on the official Assassin's Creed IV website suggested the game will release on next-gen consoles and October 29 as the release date,[30] which was confirmed by the first trailer for the game, released on March 4, 2013 (originally leaked on March 2, 2013, but was quickly pulled by Ubisoft).[13][31][32]
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was announced with a cinematic trailer on March 4, 2013.[31] Development began in mid-2011 at Ubisoft Montreal by a separate team from the one on Assassin's Creed III, with additional work done by Ubisoft Annecy, Bucharest, Kiev, Montpellier, Montreal, Quebec, Singapore and Sofia.[11]
Lead content manager Carsten Myhill stressed away the sentiment that the sequel should have been a spin-off in the same vein as Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood or Assassin's Creed: Revelations, given the ostensible similarities with Assassin's Creed III. He stated "The whole feeling of the game is completely fresh and new. It will feel very different to Assassin's Creed III. I think it completely warrants the Assassin's Creed IV moniker, not only with the new name and setting, but the attitude and the tone of the experience."[33] Assassin's Creed IV is the first main series numbered title to carry a subtitle, a decision which Myhill says was made to clearly distinguish the pirate theme from the rest of the franchise.[33]
By utilizing the AnvilNext engine, the development team is able to work with one engine for both the next-gen and current-gen versions of the game, as the AnvilNext engine was designed with next-gen capabilities in mind, while still working on current-gen systems.[13] In addition, each system will have their own intricacies and feature sets, with support for the different controllers and utilizing features specific to each console.[13] The PC version will support Nvidia's TXAA.[34]
Release
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will be released globally for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 29, 2013,Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).[4][6] The Wii U version in Europe was delayed until November 22, 2013.[5] It was announced on March 1, 2013 that the game will also come to the PlayStation 4, and on May 21 that it will release on the Xbox One.[14] Both versions will be launch titles, with the PlayStation 4 version releasing on November 15 and November 22, 2013 in North America and Europe, respectively, and November 22, 2013 worldwide for Xbox One.[7][8][9] Ubisoft will once again partner with Sony to bring exclusive content to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 versions of the game,[35] which will feature the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, Aveline de Grandpré, in three missions. The Aveline content, which will be written by Liberation writer Jill Murray, picks up after the conclusion of her story in Liberation.[36]
On June 21, 2013, it was announced that the Microsoft Windows version had been delayed "a few weeks",[16] later revealed to be November 19, 2013 in North America and November 22, 2013 in Europe.[5] Lead designer Jean-Sebastien Decant explained that the delay was caused by the team working on the "master version" first, making sure it works and then proceeding to the other versions. For Black Flag, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version was the master, before the team adapted it to the other consoles.[37]

On the October 8, 2013, Ubisoft announced that a Season Pass will be available for purchase at the launch of the game on PlayStation 4, Playstation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC, and will include the Freedom Cry single player missions, Kraken Ship pack featuring elements to personalize the Jackdaw, as well as additional single player and multiplayer elements.[38]
The Freedom Cry story mission will see the player take on the role of Adewale who, born a slave, became second-in-command onboard Captain Edward Keyway's ship, the Jackdaw. According to marketing emails, sent to U Play members on the 9th of October 2013, the story mode is expected to add more than 3 hours of gameplay. The campaign takes place fifteen years after the events of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag where Adewale "has become a trained assassin and finds himself shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue with no weapon or crew, starting a new adventure of his own" .[38] The marketing email states players will be able to "acquire a ship and gather [their] own crew to free the slaves and avenge them".
Other media
A Japanese manga adaptation of the game, written by Takashi Yano and illustrated by Kendi Oiwa, will begin serialization in Shueisha's Jump X magazine on August 10, 2013.[39]
Reception
PETA controversy
Animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) criticized Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag for the inclusion of whaling, saying that it is "disgraceful" for a video game to "glorify" whaling. An official PETA statement read, "Whaling—that is, shooting whales with harpoons and leaving them to struggle for an hour or more before they die or are hacked apart while they are still alive—may seem like something out of the history books, but this bloody industry still goes on today in the face of international condemnation, and it's disgraceful for any game to glorify it. PETA encourages video game companies to create games that celebrate animals—not games that promote hurting and killing them."[40][41]
In response, Ubisoft stated that they did not condone "illegal whaling" any more than they condoned "a pirate lifestyle". An official Ubisoft statement read, "History is our playground in Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a work of fiction that depicts the real events during the Golden Era of Pirates. We do not condone illegal whaling, just as we don't condone a pirate lifestyle of poor hygiene, plundering, hijacking ships, and over-the-legal-limit drunken debauchery."[41]
Notes
- ^ The character will be referred to as "Thatch" in this game, rather than the more common "Teach". "Thatch" is one of the many variations of Blackbeard's name known to have existed. Please see Blackbeard#Early life for more information.
