Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag tells the story of Edward Kenway, who falls from privateering for the Royal Navy into piracy as the war between the major empires comes to an end. Edward is a fierce pirate and a seasoned fighter who soon finds himself embroiled in the ancient war between Assassins and Templars.
Set at the dawn of the 18th century, the game features some of the most infamous pirates in history, such as Blackbeard and Charles Vane, and takes players on a journey throughout the West Indies during a turbulent and violent period of time that becomes known as the Golden Age of Pirates.
Ubisoft also announced today the Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag Season Pass. Costing $19.99, the Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag Season Pass includes Freedom Cry – a nine-mission self-contained story featuring Edward Kenway’s first mate Adewale — the exclusive Kraken Ship Pack, additional single-player missions, weapons, skins and collectibles, as well as new characters for an expansive multiplayer experience.
