Ubisoft releases Stealth trailer for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag

If you think that Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is gonna be all run-and-stab because of the trailers so far, Ubisoft has a surprise for you. The company has released a new video at the ongoing Gamescom, which has been named the Stealth trailer. Check it out:

The video consists of nothing but gameplay footage, albeit shot from some rather cinematic angles. It shows Edward skulking around the shadows as he stalks his next prey. Even though it is a ‘stealth’ trailer, Edward doesn’t shy away from getting into an epic sword fight with quite a few enemies.

Ubisoft has taken a strange direction when it comes to the music for the trailer. Instead of the typical orchestral music that we’re used to, we’re instead treated to a more modern song, namely, the Railroad Track by Willy Moon.

Nothing says stealth like jumping out in open spaces with a sword in your hand

In an earlier trailer , Ubisoft’s Ashraf Ismail demonstrated the stealth-based abilities that players will be able to employ in the world of Assassin’s Creed 4. In the video, protagonist Edward Kenway dives underwater and infiltrates a cavern through an underwater cave. Because he dived underwater, Edward doesn’t have access to any of his usual tools other than some throwing knives.

The video shows one of the major cities of the game—Havana. The city is a Spanish-styled city, and Ismail explains that it was built as an homage to Assassin’s Creed 2, which prominently features Florence, among other Italian cities. The video shows that Havana is jam-packed with various activities.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is all set for a November launch and will be hitting PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game will also be making its way to the PC at a later date.
