'And one that stood out the most was AC4: Black Flags, aimed for release 2013 Holiday season according to her slide. '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,' the anonymous poster wrote earlier this month. One posted claimed to have spotted the name 'Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flags' in a Ubisoft exec's marketing materials while travelling next to the employee. It also backs up a number of Reddit leaks we've had our eyes on for some time. News of the nautical-themed adventure fits with what Ubisoft has said officially about the next game - that it stars a new protagonist and new setting. There are plans for a next-gen console version, too.

Havana, Kingston and the southern tip of Florida are all named, many of which have a new 'skull-and-Assassin's Creed' symbol icon, presumably the sign of the Brotherhood in this era.Ī leaked screenshot is also doing the rounds, supposedly of the game running on Xbox 360. The leaked artwork - a poster sent out to retailers - has a detailed map of the Caribbean on its reverse, presumably showing the islands and towns that Kenway will visit. He's a privateer, assassin and occasional pirate. That assassin is Edward Kenway, father of Haytham Kenway and grandfather of Connor from Assassin's Creed 3, according to The Examiner. A black skull-and-crossbones flag hangs behind him. Leaked artwork posted by Kotaku showed a new hooded assassin taking on a ship full of salty sea dogs, armed with a pistol and dagger. It will be named Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.

The next Assassin's Creed game will star a pirate assassin and be set in the early 18th century Caribbean, a slew of leaks suggest.
