    The worst kept video game secret of the past few weeks is official. Assassin’s Creed’s next installment will indeed have a pirate theme and apparently try to see how many weapons one man can have on his person at one time.

    Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is the next chapter in the AC saga and will star Edward Kenway, who is father of Haytham and dear old grandad to Connor from Assassin’s Creed 3. It now seems likely the naval battles from AC3 were a testing ground to see if a whole game could be set around them. Let’s just hope you don’t spend the first six hours of the game as another character that is not on the cover.

    As with past Assassin’s Creed installments, it was announced that the Playstation would be receiving extra content totaling about an extra hour of gameplay.

    Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag releases this fall.

    In news that should surprise absolutely no one, Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot announced that a new Assassin’s Creed game would be coming in fiscal year 2014, which might as well mean November 2013 like with every AC game.

    He went on to say that the story would involve a completely new character and take place in a new time period as well as represent a giant leap forward for the franchise. It will be developed by a new team as well so hopefully they will figure out that a game that focuses so much on parkour action should actually be able to control the parkour moves well. One can hope.

    Where do you think the next Assassin’s Creed will go? Will they stick with a different point of American history or go different like a samurai story? Hmm.
