First Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Trailer Surfaces

March 3, 2013

Only days ago this year's rendition of the Assassin's Creed was announced. Titled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, it will be set in a new theme similar to the last title of the series, but this time with swashbucklin' pirates.

The first trailer for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has been ~~released~~ leaked, and although no gameplay footage is shown, it gives a taste of what the marriage of the series and its new setting will be like. In many ways it looks similar to Assassin's Creed III, but pirates have always been cooler than red coats. As you might suspect, there will be plenty of beards and treasure, while ship combat will make a return with presumably more functionality.

Without further adieu, here's the video:

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is set to release on consoles—yes, even PlayStation 4—this October 29th.
