Report: Next Assassin's Creed To Feature Pirates

[Update] More information and some blurry screenshots, via Examiner.com, have surfaced on Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

To see the new images, you can click over to Examiner's original story. The site also posted some new information about the game, including this:

"The main characters name is Edward Kenway, father of Haytham Kenway from Assassin's Creed 3. Edward is known as a Privateer, Assassin and occasional pirate. The games location is set in the Caribbean on multiple islands including Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas."

[Original Story]

Website Kotaku has published a report and a promotional image regarding the next Assassin's Creed game, which is to be titled Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and will deal with pirates.

Kotaku says they received a scan of a promotional poster for the game from a tipster. To see the image, head over to Kotaku's original story. According to the report, the poster will be in stores on March 4. The image shows a white-hooded assassin fighting alongside a stereotypical pirate.

(By the way, in case you are NOT PUNK, that's not the game's official logo, just a little fun I had with Pixlr and the iconic Black Flag band logo).

  • Hahhaah nice. I'm looking forward to the next AC game.
  • Might as well make a pirate game because it certainly isn't an assassin game.
  • At first I was wondering how they got the logo, the poster looks awesome anyway.

  • Kotaku = drunk guy rambling on the street, as far as credibility. HOWEVER that would be AMAZING if it's true, i hope it is :D turns out i'm punk enough to get the picture

  • Pirates? Well thats a plus.
  • Interesting, can't wait to find out more. If it's true.

  • Hope this is true, the naval battles in AC III were really cool, and if expanded upon could finally be the pirate game we've (or maybe just me) have been waiting for.
  • Give this series a break already.
  • As long as there's a ninja costume I'm sold

  • I would love to see Henry Rollins do a cameo ;)
  • Looks like the character is Conner. Which would make sense since he did learn to be a Captain.
  • Why not vikings? since the action oriented doesn't feel so "assassin" anymore. Yes I played AC3 and yes I didn't like it.
  • Didn't you guys already report a couple weeks ago that this was going to be a DLC and not the AC4?
  • When i first seen the picture my first thought was I GET TO ASSASSINATE HENRY ROLLINS?!
  • I love me some pirates, but there can be only one Pirate King
  • Lol, when I first saw it, I was like, someone's fiddin to get sued

  • Ubisoft, I thought the new console had you excited to make new IP. Why not just make us a great pirate game? I mean, I know AC fans will be happy but I want a pirate game where I don't have to worry about a Kojima scale of confusion with the plot threads...
  • Yo ho, Yo ho... Well...this seems interesting.

  • I would love a pirate based game. Looking forward to this. Just hope it does not release alongside Watch Dogs because that would be a terrible battle.
  • Matt Helgesen, he's more punk then me!
