News: Check out some of Edward Kenway’s stealth maneuvers with this new Assassin’s Creed 4 gameplay trailer.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag hits both current and next gen consoles later this year. To help whet your appetite while you wait, Ubisoft has released another video showing off some of the things fans can expect once they finally do get their hands on Assassin’s Creed 4.

In the following video, you’ll get a tiny glimpse of the stealthy new skills we’ve included in Black Flag, which enable Edward Kenway to slip in and out of assassination contracts while causing minimal commotion. Sneaking silently is nearly as important to Edward’s successful execution of assassination contracts as his skill with his dual cutlasses (not to mention the extra money you can earn from a Stealth Bonus). Consequently, Ubisoft has provided a variety of new mechanics to help Edward remain out of sight and off the radar. Some of these new mechanics include:

Updated Eagle Vision - Enables tagging of enemies and targets so you can see them through walls

Hiding door - A new hiding spot for quickly taking out guards while also hiding the body

Berserk Blowpipe Darts - diverts attention by causing an enemy to attack anything nearby, like fellow guards

Check out the video below and tell us what you think. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will be available on the Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PC on October 29. Will you be picking it up?
