Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is coming out at the end of next month and Ubisoft has just released a new video to showcase some of what you can expect. The video that was just released highlights the PS4 and Xbox One versions and shows off some of the new graphical engines along with what they have been able to accomplish with these next gen machines.

In Assassin’s Creed 4, you are a brash rebel assassin named Edward Kenway. You’ll discover the largest and most diverse Assassin’s Creed world ever from Kingston to Nassau, explore over 75 unique locations where you can live the life of a pirate. You’ll be able to do activities such as loot underwater shipwrecks, assassinate Templars in blossoming cities, hunt for rare animals in untamed jungles, search for treasure in lost ruins, escape to hidden coves and much more.

You will be able to command your ship, the Jackdaw, and strike fear in all who see her. Plunder and pillage to upgrade the Jackdaw with ammunition and equipment needed to fight off enemy ships. The ship’s improvements are critical to Edward’s progression through the game. You will be able to attack and seamlessly board massive galleons, recruit sailors to join your crew and much more. Along the way you will be able to stand amongst legendary names such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Benjamin Hornigold, as you establish a lawless Republic in the Bahamas.

Assassin’s Creed 4 multiplayer will have you putting your assassination skills to the test and embarking on an online journey through the Caribbean. You’ll discover a brand new set of pirate characters, and explore exotic and colorful locations. Additionally, create your own game experience with the new Game Lab feature - craft your own multiplayer mode by choosing abilities, rules and bonuses. You’ll be able to play and share your newly created mode with your friends.
