EXCLUSIVE- Assassin's Creed IV Reveal Confirmed

Kotaku breaks news on the fully-fledged fourth instalment in the hit Ubisoft video games franchise!
Earlier this year, Ubisoft announced to the world that a new Assassin's Creed video game is in development- now it's been revealed that this breathtaking new title will be announced fully to the public next week. Reportedly titled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, it's been leaked that this latest entry will feature Edward Kenway, the father of Assassin's Creed III's Haytham Kenway and a participant in the Golden Age Of Piracy. Yep, you read right- this game could feature further focus on the ship-battle gameplay that made ACIII such a hit last year.

Better yet, the release of another fully-fledged sequel marks the franchise's fifth consecutive annual instalment, with no signs of the series' trademark quality and great sales decreasing: we had Assassin's Creed in 2007, then Assassin's Creed II in 2009, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood in 2010, Assassin's Creed: Revelations in 2011 and Assassin's Creed III in 2012 (along with DS, 3DS and PSVita incarnations along the way), so the franchise is in a fantastic state.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's media embargo will lift on Monday March 4th with the press having been privy to an announcement meeting tonight, and the game itself set for release this Autumn.
