Following shortly after last month’s reveal, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has received its first gameplay trailer. The video presents some gorgeous environments and brutal kills, compliments of Edward Kenway. Despite the Assassin’s Creed series’ annual release causing fatigue among fans, it’s hard not to stay hopeful that this entry will provide enough much needed change to keep the franchise feeling fresh.
You can decide where Assassin’s Creed stands after watching the video.
As seen at the end of the trailer, collector’s editions have been announced for AC4. You can see each region’s offers below, courtesy of Ubisoft’s detailed press release:
