A Look At The Pirate Life In The Open World Of Black Flag
by Liz Lanier on Jul 23, 2013 at 08:00 AM

Ubisoft releases new gameplay footage that shows off open-world possibilities of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

Black Flag takes full advantage of the Caribbean setting and allows players to immerse themselves into the pirate lifestyle.

Upgrading your ship is just as valid as taking over enemy ships and crews and making them your own. If naval combat is not your style, it looks like there is plenty to find in the lush island scenery as well. And, there are always assassination contracts to take on for some extra gold. Shark fighting is also a popular pastime

Do the new gameplay possibilities intrigue you? Let us know in the comments.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on October 29. PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions are also planned for a later release.
