Avast ye scurvy landlubbers! The Leaked Assassin’s Creed 4 Trailer be here and it be amazing!

Okay.. I’m done, I just couldn’t resist.

So yes, someone has decided to leak the Assassin’s Creed 4 trailer and it’s gorgeous. More importantly, it has pirates — a lot of them.

Right now, we really don’t know a lot about AC4: Black Flag other than when and where it’s supposed to take place and that it will apparently make extensive use of the naval combat that debuted in Assassin’s Creed 3. Judging from the video, it looks like players could be making more use of this game feature than they will going from town to town on horseback (or foot). It makes pretty good sense for it to be that way as any proper pirate setting would have you going from island to island, pillaging and plundering all the way.

Lots of personality.

The leaked Assassin’s Creed 4 trailer starts out with a very well known pirate character — Blackbeard, who is more than willing to tell you what kind of trouble you might be getting into if you join up with the game’s protagonist — Captain Edward Kenway — aboard his ship. All-in-all it sounds like pretty good deal. That captain is obviously strong, smart and knows his way around. But as with all things, there’s a catch.

Don’t meddle in his affairs.

Every man has his secrets, some just have more than others. And… Some mens’ secrets are more dangerous than others, especially when that man is an assassin and a pirate. But, hey… If you’re a good pirate, you’re just here for the open seas, the money, the adventure, and occasionally — when you pull into dock — the ladies.

Okay guys.. Seriously.. PIRATES!

I will play this game just for the chance to meet Blackbeard.  I love everything pirate related.  They’re villains of another type — kind of good guys and bad guys rolled into one. And, if Assassin’s Creed 4 is offering me a chance to be one of them. I’m all in.

And, if you guys missed it earlier this week, once you finish watching the leaked Assassin’s Creed 4 trailer, pop over and take a peek at the AC4: Black Flag cover art here.

    does he say canway or kenway? If so he would probably be related to Haytham Kenway from 3

       Oh.. That may be it. I’ll be honest with you, both Justin Kennedy and I listened to it about three times each and it sounded like Canway to us. But, it could have been the accent.

      • http://www.facebook.com/zane.boettcher Zane Boettcher

        Ubisoft said in there conferences that he is indeed related to Haytham Kenway, Its his father, and Connors Grandfather.

        • http://quintlyn.com/ QuintLyn Bowers

           Interesting. Well. It could still technically be the name we heard as family names tend to evolve. Go far enough back and my family name is Bauer, not Bowers. ^_^

  • Ian Mansfield

    ARRGHH BE IT CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW?… 

  • http://www.facebook.com/urda.andrei Urda Andrei

    He is Haytham’s father and in turn Connor’s grandfather

    My Brain just orgasm-ed!! So much awesome in one trailer. Yes!!

    Pretty sure its Kenway, would make more sense than having a name similar to a char in a previous title.

    Getting it on PS4!

    Are they releasing IV so soon after III because the extra crap they added in III was just naf?

  • Emil Zackariasson

    Trailers looks great but who here really believes stuff like this gets leaked? Seams like textbook stealth PR to me.

    • http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr

      Especially with the pirate theme. 

    • http://profile.yahoo.com/KDZXFIGXSF445OGOZV2Q7J4WDA Aparil

      well they’re planning to announce it monday so why would they leak it a few days before and ruin monday? No one is going to care now on monday

      and if they leaked it why are they pulling down all the youtube videos within hours of them going up?

      • http://twitter.com/dularr Dularr

        All the better buzz now. The video gets leaked, generates buzz and then banned by youtube. 

      • Emil Zackariasson

        Because it prolongs the period that people talk about it, that’s really what they want. The longer people talk about something, the more people will get to hear about it, which increase the number of people that will be interested.

        The trailer itself, is what it going to convince people that this game is great and the more people they can try and convince, the more copies they will sell.

    Assassin’s Creed…now with more 17th century STD’s!

  • DoctorOverlord

    Yarrrrrr!  This be a might fine trailer indeed. 

  • Keigh

    I love the assassin series but 3 was a let down for me, I felt no connection with the Connor. Hopefully this one will be better.

    • http://www.facebook.com/Dortz1105 Ciaran Doherty

      I was pretty much the same, with Altair I felt the same, even though he was the silent badass type at the time.

      AC1 felt like a basic game for the content within it when compared to what AC2 series had to offer, in saying that AC3 felt more like a basic game, some nice new features and story, but buggy and basic and a closer for Desmonds story.

      So I think that AC4s gameplay if obviously going to be far more fleshed out with improved Naval battles.

    Anyone else get the 80′s vibe from the image?

    Amazing trailer, cant wait for the game release.

  • Ravenstorm

    I’m one of those strange creatures who liked the potential of assassin creed’s story and lucious graphics, but when trying the first game I found it wanting on the pc side’s controls.
    I also wasn’t impressed by the remote feeling of going into genetic memories by science, I like a more ‘now it’s hapening’ feel.

    But this looks very promising. Pirates, yes please. Maybe it even has that Sid Meyers feel to it, building up yer wealth and power, interlaced with exciting assassin contract or private vengeance kills. Or both.

    But imo the assassin captain should be warin’ a buccaneers bicorne or something, the cap just looks outof place. Or he could be warin’ a cap for the stealth kills and otherwise ware the captain’s hat.

    Looks promising.

    This will be added into my AC collection without a shadow of a doubt. I  simply love the entire AC series and the fact of pirates just adds to my excitement about another game in this incredible and beautiful series of games. So do NEED this.

  • ChristopherRuscoe

    AC3 i can skip unless its in a sale for a silly discount, but AC4 looks interesting as long as they the hero is likable, the pirate thing i can take it or leave it, cant wait to see what the AC version set in the 80′s is like :P

    love every single one so far..this should be no different!

    Just one thing, how can 50% of the World of Warcraft players even play this? I am sure it will require 4 core cpu a few gigs of ram and a video card. I have a single cpu 2 gigs of ram and a 512 agp card that I play wow on. It wont run this for sure and i know a good percent of my fellow WOW players only have a little better then I do.

    • http://twitter.com/cipero Matt Cipriano

      I usually play these games on consoles. 360 here
