On the 29th of October, ten years ago, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was released for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Its historical timeframe precedes that of Assassin's Creed III, but its modern-day sequences succeed III's own.

The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events and follows the millennia-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight to preserve peace and free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and depicts the player as an employee of Abstergo Industries (a company used as a front by the modern-day Templars), who is manipulated into uncovering secrets related to the Assassin-Templar conflict and the precursor race known as the First Civilization. The main story is set in the West Indies during the Golden Age of Piracy from 1715 to 1722, and follows notorious Welsh pirate Edward Kenway, grandfather of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton / Connor and father of antagonist Haytham Kenway, as he searches for fortune and a mythical location called the Observatory, which is sought by both the Assassins and the Templars. A major plot element concerns the attempted establishment of an independent Pirate republic in the Caribbean.
Unlike previous games, gameplay elements focus more on the ship-based exploration of the seamless open world map, while also retaining the series' third-person land-based exploration, melee combat, and stealth system. Multiplayer also returns, albeit with only land-based modes and settings. The game's setting spans the West Indies with the three main cities of Havana, Nassau, and Kingston, along with numerous islands, sunken ships, and forts. Players have the option to harpoon large sea animals and hunt land animals. For the first time in the series, naval exploration is a major part of an Assassin's Creed game, where Edward captains the Jackdaw, a brig he captures from a Spanish fleet in an early game mission.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received critical acclaim and is considered to be one of the best games in the franchise. It was one of the best-selling games of 2013, with over 11 million copies sold as of 2014. Critics praised the open world gameplay, improved naval combat, side-quests, graphics, narrative, characters, and pirate theme. However, the modern-day story and combat received a slightly more mixed response, while criticism fell on aspects of the historical story missions which were considered repetitive. The game received several awards and nominations, including winning the Spike VGX 2013 award for Best Action Adventure Game.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Still working on my second Assassin’s Creed Odyssey playthrough and I forgot how much island hopping fun is in this game, especially on the east of the map. The Ancient Greek Mediterranean is pretty much your oyster. HOT TAKE: with all the islands (yeah it’s not the Caribbean, but there are still plenty of palm trees), sunken ruins and ship-to-ship combat, to me this feels like the sequel to AC IV: Black Flag that everyone’s been asking for, just swapping out the Golden Age of Piracy for Ancient Greece. Can’t help but wish that the seafaring had Black Flag’s storms and rogue waves, though.

Gentlemen! As is custom among our kind, we do not plunge headlong into folly on the orders of a single madman, but act according to our own, collective madness!

It was on this day November 13th, 15 years ago on wards, we were reliving memories from a group of extraordinary badasses through history, whose stories were quite impactful that we can say we have learned some lessons along the way. Throughout their journeys we...
Watched them as children:

Rooted for them in their victories:

Cried for them during their tragedies:

Smiled with them in their happiness:

And most of all, we learned from them that Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted.
They work in the dark to serve the light.
They are Assassins.
Happy Anniversary Assassin’s Creed!
