Building on the popular naval missions featured in AC III, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is set in the 1700s during the Golden Age of Piracy, letting you roam the Caribbean islands as Edward Kenway, grandfather of AC III's main character Ratonhnhaké:ton, aka Connor.

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag tells the story of Edward Kenway, a young British man with a thirst for danger and adventure, 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 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 later to become known as the Golden Age of Pirates.

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag features a vast open world with more than 50 navigable locations. Combat combines the weaponry of the Assassin’s Order with armaments of the era, and rewards both daring and stealth. And the series’ acclaimed multiplayer experience is more varied and ruthless than ever in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag.

In a recent interview Assassin’s Creed IV lead designer Jean-Sebastien Decant explains why the PC version will arrive a month after the console editions:

"It all depends on what is the master version," Decant said. "If for instance, the X360 version was the master version, or the PS3 version was the master version, then we'd need a little bit more time to adapt it for the PC. But we need to finish that other version first."

Amazon will offer an exclusive Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Lethal Pirate Edition upgrade, featuring the infamous pirate, Black Bart. For $10 more, fans can upgrade their Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag purchase to the Lethal Pirate Edition and receive the exclusive figurine and unlockable in-game content.

The Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Lethal Pirate Edition is available as an Amazon-exclusive and includes:

  • Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag Video Game including the free pre-order bonus ULC: Hidden Mystery Pack
  • A custom-designed Black Bart figurine and digital wallpaper, created by comic artist Todd McFarlane
  • Exclusive in-game content: Black Bart’s legendary black sails to customize your pirate ship and terrorize your enemies on the high seas

Customers who purchase Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag on PS3/PS4 can download 60 minutes of additional gameplay via the PlayStation Network after the game’s launch.
