BEING RELEASED ON NEXT-GEN VONSOLES AS WELL
Set in the early 18th century, you play a new Assassin named Captain Edward Kenway. That's right, Kenway. You are playing Haytham's old man, Connors Grandad. Whether or not this game is set in the Animus is as of yet unknown, as anyone who played Assassin's Creed 3 knows that our main protagonist Desmond is unlikely to make a return.
The trailer shows Captain Blackbeard talking to a group of Pirates about Edward Kenway, describing him as a man who has no fear, and fights like a demon within a mans body. Showing how easily Edward clears the deck of a Spanish Galleon also gives us insight into what kind of weapons we will have. Duel wielding is making a return, with swords, guns, plus the Hidden Blade being a big favorite of mine all capable of a lot of damage.
I can imagine this game will feature more Naval battles which AC3 set us up for nicely, whilst hopefully we have a few nice cities to run around. Personally, I cannot wait!
If and when I find out something new, ill let you know. In the meantime, I beg you all to watch the trailer!!
