Take this with a very small amount of salt, I'll leave it at that.

Assassin's Creed 4 will be titled "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag," and will feature pirates.

I just posted this in r/gaming but was told of this subreddit. Anyway, 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. And one that stood out the most was AC4: Black Flags, aimed for release 2013 Holiday season according to her slide. It already had a cool looking logo for it. Unfortunately I didn't take any photo, just wanted to share it with all the AC fans, and give those who are trying to figure out the next story line a little hint. EDIT: thanks everyone for the nice karma and comments! It feels good to be able to contribute a bit to one of my favourite game ( I still need to play AC3 though..) http://www.reddit.com/r/assassinscre...v_black_flags/

Yup. Dunno if its ac 4 but i heard the titles black flag and golden age. New lead character is rumored to be a father of a playable character and will have co op alongside a famous scottish pirate.

[Nirolak]

Split bump.

Might as well see if we get a response from someone.

[Glass Rebel]

I hope they really go with Assassin's Crred

[Dipswitch]

New hero is Navy Seal Sniper confirmed.

[grimshawish]

Its not Assassins Creed IV then.

[Evolved1]

Naval battles were so awesome, and pirates are also awesome. This rumor, is really awesome. If true.

[The Grim Heaper]

If it features pirates then it features more naval stuff which I'm totally in for.

[Reiko]

Dat Pirates of the Carri-bean money.

Ship battles in AC3 was the first step...

[maverick40]

Milk that cow Ubisoft

[DoctorWho]

I doubt it's Ass Creed 4 then. They will find a way to milk the franchise yearly though.

[bearythebear]

Was the ship stuff done by a different AC team? Would make sense if they are getting the "off year" game and putting more ship stuff in it. Personally I never cared about it, but would love to explore the Caribbean.

Assassin's Creed: Quest for Booty

[Treythalomew]

Pirate Assassin and all is forgiven Ubisoft.

Also treat me like a pirate and give me that booty should be the subtitle.

[EMT0]

Is this my 'become a pirate warlord and conquer the Caribbean/East Indies' game I've been waiting since forever for?

[WorstUsernameEver]

Harr!!sassin's Creed.

Come on, SOMEONE had to make that joke.

[Aquamarine]

Arr, me hearties, this setting sounds to be a blast.

[Cerebral Assassin]

I hope they really go with Assassin's Crred

Arrrrssassin's Creed is better imo.

[BlackJace]

Ah yes, it's time for the next "generic subtitle" entry in the franchise.

[Pai Pai Master]

Assassin's Creed: Quest for Booty

Robot pirates > regular ass pirates

[Ein Bear]

YARR!

Awesome news if true, AC3 had a bland main character and a dull era. Will be really glad if they move onto something new instead of pulling a Brotherhood.

[Tunavi]

They sure crank out these games

[Voice of Reason]

Naval battles were so awesome, and pirates are also awesome. This rumor, is really awesome. If true.

Indeed. But I'm convinced Ubisoft knows how to plan and not execute.

[Glass Rebel]

Arrrrssassin's Creed is better imo.

Also closer where the franchise is right now.

[FoneBone]

I think the chances of them annualizing the numbered installments are about zero.

[ThingontheFloor]

On board if the new lead character is Henry Rollins.

[Dennis]

You wouldn't download a car would you?

[Lord-Audie]

I don't know how would this work....

[ultron87]

Please prove me as a prophet Ubi.

[Toki767]

Famous Scottish pirate? Better be William Kidd.

[darkside31337]

This sounds so ridiculous. I mean the story, not the game. I guess it could be true though, pirate assassins sound neat.

[Aquamarine]

You be walkin' the plank fer such blasssphemyy!!

[eighty(one)]

Assassin's Creed: Quest for Booty

LMAO

The ship sections in AC3 were some of the best parts in the game. If there are more of those, consider me thilled.

[JaseC]

I don't know how would this work....

The naval aspect of AssCreed 3 is surprisingly robust; all it's missing is the ability travel the high seas (i.e. the ocean as part of the overworld), dock somewhere and explore.

[Sinatar]

A pirate themed Assassin's Creed with a big emphasis on the naval stuff from 3 has the potential to be absolutely fantastic.

I'm in.

[ultron87]

I've scientifically determined that an Age of Sail ship boarding scene is the best possible action sequence, so just make it a lot of that.

Brofist

[subversus]

I might even buy it.

[Juan29.zapata]

Yes, god damn! I wanted co-op since Brotherhood.

Although, the series have actually gotten worse. They have better improve that thing. It's a damn shame they are so good at making the world, but not the story.

[Tucah]

Seeing as the ship combat was the best part of ACIII, this would be excellent if it was true.

[MysticX]

so if I pirate the game, can I then play as the pirate?

[JaseC]

Seeing as the ship combat was the best part of ACIII, this would be excellent if it was true.

The rumour being true would also explain why that's so; it's a core component of a future instalment.

[GeoGonzo]

On board if the new lead character is Henry Rollins.

Bah, "on board" joke already taken... :(

[Criminal Upper]

That's either 100% real, or just a super good guess. Just re-use alot of assets from AC3, and you're golden. Just smacks of Ubisoft's laziness.

[Cerebral Assassin]

Also closer where the franchise is right now.

[XANDER CAGE]

[rataven]

This is fantastic news if true. Never would have thought pirate shenanigans and naval warfare would work in the AC series, but III certainly showed that they do.

And I almost feel this is what ACIII proper should have been all along. Really mix up the series' formula.

[LiK]

The ship battles were one of the best parts of AC3. This sounds plausible.

[IdreamofHIME]

A Pirate game with horrible DRM, oh the irony.

Ubi dropped its DRM.
