Catch the wind
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is easily one of the most beloved games in Ubisoft's long-running series. The seafaring escapade of Edward Kenway first released on the PS4 and PS3 as a cross-gen title — a launch game for the PS4 — all the way back in 2013. And now, almost a full decade later, two unnamed Kotaku sources are saying...

News You Don't Need to Copy Edward Kenway's Clothing to Enjoy PS4
Hoodwinked
We’ve all been there: you’ve got half an eye on the holidays, but technically you’re still at work. This brand new PlayStation 4 trailer uploaded to SCEE’s official YouTube page earlier today looks like it was hastily constructed prior to an office Christmas party. And now we’re writing a really dull post about it in order to...

About The Game
THE GOLDEN AGE OF PIRATES
Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag begins in 1715, when pirates established a lawless republic in the Caribbean and ruled the land and seas.
