Product Information

"Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" for PlayStation was a huge departure from the previous entries in the "Assassin's Creed" franchise. While past games took place on land, "Assassin's Creed IV" takes place across bodies of water. As the ‘assassin’ Edward Kenway, you're in charge of a pirate ship. While this PlayStation game still revolves around assassination and Templar plots, the setting gives the narrative a fresh setting. The story takes place in the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean. Throughout your adventure, you'll meet other famous pirates, like Benjamin Hornigold. The cast of characters is diverse with many historical figures like in past "Assassin's Creed" games. This PS4 title was both developed and published by Ubisoft. It had a release date of 2013 in the United States."Black Flag" lets you live the life of a pirate king. Your ship, the Jackdaw, takes this open world game to new heights. Instead of traveling on foot or by horse, you'll sail to new destinations. As you sail, the spyglass lets you view distant ships or ports. You can attack any ship you see with the use of your cannons. When you get close to an enemy ship, you can board it and plunder its riches. You can upgrade your ship at various points in the game. Upgrades increase both the ship's damage and its defense capabilities. Throughout the course of "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag," you'll hire additional crew members to work for you. While much of the game takes place on the sea, there is still plenty of action on land as well. Like previous "Assassin's Creed" games, you'll need to locate synchronization points. These points show you various activities on the map that you can complete for new accessories and money. New activities in this game include searching for treasure and hunting the local wildlife. During the campaign, you are frequently asked to assassinate various targets. As a trained assassin, you have many ways to dispose of a target. You can slip in close and use your hidden blade to dispatch him stealthily or you can murder a target out in the open with a pistol. However, going that route means you'll need to contend with a fight to the death against the guards. You can use objects in your environment to make your task easier. For example, some weather conditions can help mask the sound of your weapons. You can also blend in and out of the crowd to get away without being seen.
