The lull in gaming previews felt during October is finally coming to an end. Earlier this week Activision released the launch trailer for its biggest game of the year (Call of Duty: Ghosts), and now Ubisoft has done the identical.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is ready to launch next week and Ubisoft has just released its definitive preview for the piracy simulator. As opposed to the whole various ship battles, exploration, and mini-game elements previewed within the past few months, the launch trailer for Black Flag specializes in the game’s story. The title will tell the tale of Edward Kenway, a pirate within the early 18th century that still just happens to be an assassin.

With Watch Dogs now delayed until next year, Black Flag is decided to be Ubisoft’s first game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 consoles. Though Assassin’s Creed III left the series in somewhat a lurch, next-gen visuals and the liberty of a pirate’s life just might put some new life into the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
