Ship Happens: Assassin’s Creed 4 - Black Flag

The ship that sprung a leak has now sailed into harbour, its Jolly Roger flying high. Well, to be honest, it's sort of sitting just outside the harbour waving from the decks. Ubi have sent a press release announcing that they will be fully announcing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag on Monday. For now, we have confirmation of the game's title and a picture of the box-art, which shows a chap standing on the deck of a pirate ship wearing the familiar hooded garb of the assassin, with a cutlass in one hand and a stonking great gun in the other. I've heard good things about the naval combat in The Third and this is a far more interesting proposition to me than Assassin's Creed III: Revolutionary Revelations would have been. More on Monday.
