I found parts of the AC2 quasi-sequels to be good, but they felt awfully repetitive and the series seemed like it needed to just move on. Rather, they're moving straight on to another era, which is something I can't complain about. We followed Ezio through Brotherhood and Revelation, but it appears that won't be the case here (other than the PSP's Liberation). ( Update: According The Examiner the protagonist is Edward Kenway, father of Haytham Kenway and grandfather of Connor of AC3).Īnother change is the fact that Ubisoft isn't making a bunch of AC3 spin-off titles the way they did with AC2.
As the series likes using actual historical figures it seems like it might be in an earlier time period. Assassin's Creed 3 takes place during the American revolution in the late 18th century, so the games could theoretically overlap, or 4 could actually take place before 3, which would be quite different for the series indeed. Piracy has been a long-running profession, but if we're talking about the truly famous era of pirates, that spans from maybe the 1500s to the 1700s. What's interesting is that the game will likely not leap forward into the future as drastically as the last two titles, if it jumps forward at all. If you're like me, you probably played through several of that game's naval battles and wondered, "damn, why didn't they just make an awesome pirate game?" Well, apparently Ubisoft had the same idea. It's an interesting move for the series, and one that surely came about during the development of Assassin's Creed 3. In case you couldn't tell, the game is pirate-themed, based on our central Assassin hero wielding a cutlass and dual pistols with a black skull-adorned flag behind him. The box art has also debuted for all the various box copies. With the announcement, they've said that the game will be coming to the PS3, 360, Wii U and PC, with the PS3 version getting 60 minutes of exclusive gameplay. Today they've unveiled Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag which takes the game to the high seas uh, again, I suppose. Ubisoft has wasted no time in announcing their next numbered installment in the Assassin's Creed series.
