Assassins Creed IV black flag was released 29th October 2013 and begins in 1715 when pirates established a lawless republic in the Caribbean which ruled the lands and the seas. These outlaws paralyzed navies, haltered international trade and plundered vast fortunes.
what makes Assassins Creed unique and different to the other games released before this is that black flag allows you to experience new plot lines, portraying Edward Kenny - the captain of the ship whilst also meeting some of the most iconic pirates in history and establish your own name.
