[dropcap size=dropcap]S[/dropcap]ince the day I put my hands for the first time on Assassin’s Creed I was a fan of the series. I have played all the games more than once and I was eager to order the new Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag to relive the medieval adventures and the once-in-a-lifetime experience such a game could bring. Therefore, the biggest news I have received this week was the release of the last title in the series created by Ubisoft.
As we have all expected, Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag follows the life of a new hero, Edward Kenway, which will have the opportunity to visit cities like Havana, Kingston or Nassau. He will be able to cross the oceans by using his own ship, The Jackdaw. We will see also the ocean’s depths in search of treasures and shipwrecks. Edward Kenway is a British privateer turned pirate who eventually became a member of the Assassin Order
Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag will also feature fifty other unique locations with an almost equal balance between the land and the naval exploration.
