13-Minute Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Walkthrough Features Sea, Ships and Shanties

UbiSoft have released a full 13-minutes of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag that shows the open world pirate game in seamless motion.

Starting in a small fishing village the game soon migrates onto the sea, where Kenway attacks and boards a ship to steal some rum, the alcoholic.

We then see the weather system in glorious effect before it’s revealed that you’ll be able to unlock a slew of sea shanties for your crew to sing at sea. That’s my purchase confirmed then!

What follows is a stealthy infiltration of a temple in order to steal some buried treasure (treasure hinted towards by a map and no in-game HUD elements – nice). Kenway uses trees and gadgets to reach the treasure undetected.

It’s impossible to say the game looks anything less than gorgeous, I just hope that it manages to remain compelling over the full playtime. Assassin’s Creed games have a habit of falling into motions, but the amount of playstyles available here (stealth, ships, shanties) could do a lot to alleviate any repetition.

Check out the full gameplay video below and look forward to playing Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag on whatever console you own towards the end of the year!

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
