Today, Ubisoft announced Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, the next installment in the company’s best-selling franchise. Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag introduces an all new hero and setting, and will feature the most diverse and seamless Assassin’s Creed world ever created. Or at least that’s what is stated in the press release we received today.
According to Ubisoft, the game has been in development for two years and is being spearheaded by one of the veteran Assassin’s Creed teams in Ubisoft Montreal with support from Ubisoft studios in Annecy, Bucharest, Kiev, Quebec, Singapore and Sofia. Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag will be released on X360, PS3, PS4, WiiU, PC and other next generation consoles. The game will be available on X360, PS3 and WiiU on 1st November, 2013 in the UK, meaning that the PC will be based on the next-generation version of it.
Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft said:
“With the new hero and new setting we are creating the boldest and most unique Assassin’s Creed game yet, while still respecting the pillars of the franchise that have made it such a fan favorite. Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag is based on a true, harsh and exciting part of a legendary era and will thrill longtime fans and newcomers alike.”
