Assassin’s Creed 4 Trailer News: Watch the latest YouTube trailer of AC4: Black Flag to see what life was like in the 1700s via Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox 720, PS4, Wii U, and PC.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is set to be released for the Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox 720, PS4, Wii U and PC on October 30. One of the hallmarks of the Assassin’s Creed series is that each title is set in an actual historical setting. Sure there is some creative license taken with the in-game events but the setting itself always provides an amazing backdrop for each game.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is set during the golden age of piracy and, based on the trailers released thus far, it seems like you are a pirate in addition to being an assassin this time around. The emergence of piracy was the result of decades of violent and brutal privateering that was not only sanctioned, but also bankrolled by warring naval powers of a size and scope never known before. In Assassin’s Creed 4 you assume the role of Haytham Kenway, the “pirate trained by assassins.”

Take a look at the new trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you be picking up Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag? Will you buy the game for the Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox 720, PS4, Wii U or PC?
