Ubisoft has released a new trailer for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag giving us our first look at some gameplay footage. The latest adventure in the Assassin's Creed franchise features Captain Edward Kenway, a pirate trained by assassins, as he takes on the Golden Age of Pirates.

It is 1715. Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established a lawless republic. Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag introduces a young, cocky and fearsome captain named Edward Kenway. His skill with a sword and disdain for authority earn him the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but thrust him into the ancient conflict between Assassins and Templars that threatens to destroy everything the pirates have built.
