Report: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Promotional Art Leaked

[Shawn Zipay]

Is that all gaming news is now? Just a bunch of rumors and reports about games instead of actual announcements? The latest is apparently for the upcoming Assassin's Creed game which may be titled Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. It has to deal with, you guessed it, pirates.

This follows some news from earlier this month where a Redditor on a flight noticed someone working on a presentation with that same game name shown off. He claims he noticed a "2013 Holiday" release for the game, which would fall in line with there being a yearly Assassin's Creed release.

Again, this is all rumor. The weird, cartoon style of the poster almost seems like it's better suited for a comic spinoff or something. But hey, I guess we'll find out on March 4 when this promotional art is apparently supposed to be made public at retail stores.

Oh no, they are jumping the shark.

As for the rumor thing; that's what happens when you will only make announcements to the companies paid lackeys and no one else to help cover-up the lack of innovation in a game.

So, basically recycling and using even more the sailing feature from the old game. I'd rather they just did something entirely different such as an oriental/asian samurai ancestor full of new moves
