Ubisoft has released a 13 minute gameplay video of the upcoming game Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. The game that will be released on October 29 features a new main protagonist, a whole new area and a different time setting. The game will be released on both current gen consoles as well as the next gen consoles.
The trailer shows us the main protagonist Edward Kenway in an earlier stage of the story. As we know from the Assassin’s Creed series it involves a lot of jumping and climbing around. Add a few targets that have to be eliminated, and you could say that is one of the main things you do in the series. The gameplay video shows us that the Black Flag is going to change that, with your ship called the Jackdaw becoming a very important part of the game since a large area of the game consists out of ocean.
The game will also feature over 75 uncharted locations, which are called playas. Every playa will have something valuable for Edward or for the Jackdaw, such as upgrades or new gear. These playas can also contain maps, which will allow you to do a small mission in order to get your reward. To move around across the ocean, you will be using the Jackdaw. To make the ocean feel alive, the ocean will have fish swimming around and when you are in a harpooning zone there is a chance that huge whales are jumping out of the water. But the ocean itself is also alive, as you can get stuck in a storm with the Jackdaw and you might have to dodge tornados that can tear your ship apart.
The game feels very much alive with a lot movement in the nature itself and the ocean as well. Just as in Assassin’s Creed III you will be using the natural environment together with buildings to maneuver through the game. The game looks both refreshing and promising as the gameplay video mainly looks like a pirate game, but that might be because the video takes place in an earlier part of the story where Edward hasn’t joined the Creed yet.
