Release date Assasin creed 4

Assassin's Creed 4: Black flag is the latest series of the game assasin creed. This series is not a continuation of the previous series of Assassin's Creed 3.


Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will be available on November 1 for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U and PC. It has also been announced for the next generation of consoles, including the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720, both of which are rumored to make an appearance at the annual gaming expo, E3, in June.
Although the official release date has not been given, the possibility of a next-gen console version of AC4 will arrive on our shores in 2014, as the release date in the UK PS4 rumored for Q1 2014.






Previously, rumours suggested that Ubisoft was considering skipping a year in the Assassin’s Creed launch cycle to focus on making the franchise bigger. Fortunately for us, that rumour turned out to be false.





Although naval-based missions will get a lion’s share of the story, about 60 per cent of missions will still be based on land as there will be over 50 locations to explore. Alas, our favourite hooded hero, Desmond, won’t be making an appearance in AC4 but expect to see a few famous faces floating about including Benjamin Hornigold and the notorious sea devil Black Beard.

Many weapons will return, including hidden blades, swords, spear dart and so on, as well as new additions like a blowpipe and pistols. The game will also bring back more of a focus on stealth, something that the last couple of games have embraced less and less.
Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft said. “With the new hero and new setting we are creating the boldest and most unique Assassin’s Creed game yet, while still respecting the pillars of the franchise that have made it such a fan favorite.
“Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is based on a true, harsh and exciting part of a legendary era and will thrill longtime fans and newcomers alike.
