Ubisoft released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming action-adventure open world game, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

“The 13 minutes of Caribbean open-world gameplay features game director Ashraf Ismail, who gives you insights directly from the development team on all that’s new to explore in the vast, diverse Caribbean open world such as hunting for lost treasures in uncharted islands or brand new naval features, including upgrading the Jackdaw with new weaponry and recruiting your crew to conquer new enemy ships at sea.”

Plot:
“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’.

As such, the player’s character is hired by Abstergo Entertainment — a subsidiary of Abstergo Industries — to investigate a pivotal movement in Desmond’s ancestry; the Assassin Edward Kenway.

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.”

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will launch on October 29th in the US, and November 1st everywhere else for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. PC version will release after the console versions and a launch title for PS4 and Xbox One.
