The story

The immersive world of Assassins Creed Black Flag drops you into the heart of an explosive reimagining of maritime history. Play as young privateer Edward Kenway, fighting side by side with the most notorious Caribbean pirates of the 18th century. As captain of the Jackdaw, Master Assassin and ruthless pirate, seek adventure on both sea and land in the biggest world that Assassins Creed has yet conceived. Through raging waters, lush jungles and sunbaked cities, seek and destroy scheming Templars and oppressive colonial powers, while enriching yourself and your outlaw compatriots with ships and gold. Download Black Flag Gold Edition, and enrich the gameplay experience with exclusive island treasure hunts. Unlock multiplayer options, weapons, ships and valuable relics in these bonus packs, making yourself a richer, stronger and more formidable foe. Follow paths set by great pirates who came before, and discover the wealth they left behind. Captain Morgan's ship and silver pistols are yours for the taking in the Black Island pack, while the shallows of Sacrifice Island yield treasures left by Captain Drake in the Sacrificed Secrets Pack. Find the ship and other items left behind by Blackbeard's friend Stede Bonnet on St. Lucia in the Hidden Mystery Pack. Other exclusive packs include Captain Kenway's Legacy Pack, the Pirate's Bounty Pack and the Trove of Mystery Pack.

What it’s like

Sun-bleached and salt-sprayed, with a warm, rolling sense of adventure: the Caribbean here is all turquoise shallows, lush green jungle and dusty colonial towns baked under a hard tropical sun. Dawn and dusk do most of the work, flooding the sea with amber and rose, while night at sea turns to deep blue and silver moonlight on rolling water. Sailing the Jackdaw feels unhurried and expansive, with long stretches of open ocean punctuated by sudden bursts of cannon fire and boarding chaos, and the score swells with brass and rhythmic percussion before dropping back into the creak of rigging and the lap of waves. Violence is frequent and stylised: sword duels, gunfire and ship battles with splintering hulls, but blood is stylised rather than gory, and there is no sexual content. The overall register is playful and swashbuckling, with a loose, gently cynical undertone about empire and greed. It suits a long weekend session, a sunny afternoon, or a stretch of time when you want to lose yourself in a big, roaming world. Made for players who love sea adventure, treasure hunting and wide-open exploration.
