News: Check out thirteen minutes of open world Caribbean gameplay for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is coming out later this year for both current and next gen consoles. Ubisoft recently released a new trailer showing off some of the open world gameplay that you can expect in Assassin’s Creed 4. One of the big new things seems to be how seamless the gameplay will be. Being able to chase an enemy on foot and then immediately jump on to your ship and continue the chase on water all in one seamless action looks like it might give us the best Assassin’s Creed yet. Only time will tell obviously but if this trailer is any indication, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag looks like it could be one of the best games of the year.

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag tells the story of Edward Kenway, a young British man with a thirst for danger and adventure, who falls from privateering for the Royal Navy into piracy as the war between the major Empires comes to an end. Edward is a fierce pirate and seasoned fighter who soon finds himself embroiled in the ancient war between Assassins and Templars. Set at the dawn of the 18th Century, the game features some of the most infamous pirates in history, such as Blackbeard and Charles Vane, and takes players on a journey throughout the West Indies during a turbulent and violent period of time later to become known as the Golden Age of Pirates.

“With the new hero and new setting we are creating the boldest and most unique Assassin’s Creed game yet, while still respecting the pillars of the franchise that have made it such a fan favorite,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag is based on a true, harsh and exciting part of a legendary era and will thrill longtime fans and newcomers alike.”

Check out the new trailer below and tell us what you think. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will be out on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Wii U and PC later this year. Which version will you be getting?
