according to gamespot the main character in Black Flag is Edward Kenway, the father of Haytham Kenway from last year's Assassin's Creed III. Edward is described as a privateer, assassin, and "occasional" pirate.Black Flag will be set in the Caribbean. Players will reportedly get to travel to multiple islands, including Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas.

I doubt they could make it any worse than ACIII.

Hopefully the game gets some proper QA and playtesting. Least it sounds like the best parts of ACIII are going to be included in this game. Naval and the Kenways. If Edward is anything like Haytham then the character is going to be a little more interesting than Connor.

I just hope this isn't a clone of AC3. AC3 did not live up to my expectations, but from what I heard.. Guns are back, Naval Warfare are back.. and forests with animals are back. Oh wait, doesn't that sound the exact same as AC3? I am a huge AC fan (Bought AC1 on launch + own every AC game except for the ones on mobile)... I don't really like the direction they are going to be honest.

The reason attracted me to the AC series was the history and the unknown factor of the west. Now, they are just staying in this Eastern part of the world really irritates me. Not much would change from AC3 to AC4. I guess I should wait till Monday and see some gameplay, and hope for the best.

How did you guys warm to the main assassin's character in AC3? I warmed very quickly to ezio from altier but I'm not digging the AC3 character from what I've seen. I could get on board with pirates though :D (zing!)

I half expected the pirate at the end to say "assasin's creed 4 black flag...... yargh!)

is it even possible to finish AC3? I played like seven hours and the guy that's on the cover WASN'T EVEN BORN YET! how long is this monster? I gave up, that was in December I think. will eventually get back into it, and will likely get AC4. I applaud long games, it's awesome to get that much for our money, but realistically most of us simply don't have the time!

It is about as long as Revelations (25-30 hours). That is including all the side missions. Not the filler rubbish like the 100% memory sync for missions. Which isn't really that long considering you can do that in Skyrim and not even touch the main quest.

AC2 and Brotherhood i found to be longer.

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
