Fresh look at the fourth (really sixth) Assassin’s Creed game: Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag with a new Gamescom trailer. As a longtime fan of the series, I was mostly disappointed by Assassin’s Creed III. It was such a cool idea, setting it in the American Revolution, but the amount of hand-holding and needless trekking between interesting plot points got exhaustingly boring after hours of waiting for pace to quicken. Assassin’s Creed IV keeps the familial thread running by moving backward in time for the first time; two generations before the Revolution to Connor‘s grandfather, Edward Kennaway – notorious pirate and roguish gentleman. The naval aspect was one of ACIII‘s strongest additions, and I’m interested to see how that will mesh in a much more prominent way as Kennaway plunders the Caribbean. This new trailer focuses on the high seas action. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag hits stores on October 29th for this generation’s consoles and for Xbox One and Playstation 4 at a later date.
