Assassin’s Creed IV Is All About Pirates, According To This Poster



Is the next Assassin’s Creed all about pirates? A tipster just sent over marketing materials for something called Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

Ubisoft hasn’t announced anything about the next Assassin’s Creed just yet, other than the fact that it will star a new character and a new setting, and it will be out later this year.

According to our tipster, this poster will be on store walls on Monday, March 4.

The poster shows a white-hooded assassin — presumably the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed IV — on a pirate ship, surrounded by gruff-looking buccaneers. There’s a black pirate flag in the background.

Earlier this month, a Redditor claimed to have seen the name Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flags on an aeroplane while peaking at a powerpoint presentation by the woman who sat in front of him.

“I was on a flight where the lady in the row in front of me was working on a powerpoint presentation on marketing strategies of several gaming titles,” Redditor photoacoustic wrote. “And one that stood out the most was AC4: Black Flags, aimed for release 2013 Christmas season according to her slide. It already had a cool looking logo for it.”
