Ubisoft has pillaged the first gameplay footage of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, showing everything from deep sea diving to naval battles. The trailer offers a proper introduction to new protagonist Edward Kenway, and also shows off some of the locales that you can expect to explore during the course of the piratical campaign.
In addition to the fresh footage, the publisher has also confirmed a suite of collector’s editions, which will be available at launch in the UK. Bundles include the Skull Edition, the Special Edition (exclusive to GAME), the Buccaneer Edition (exclusive to GAME), and the Black Chest Edition (exclusive to Ubisoft’s online store, Uplay). We’ve included images of all of the packages below.
New copies of the game will come with ‘VIP entry’ to The Watch, a programme that will reward you with bonus content and rewards. While the press information isn’t clear, it sounds like some sort of Assassin’s Creed social network, where you’ll be able to chat about the title, share content, and compare your skills with other budding seafarers.
There’s no word on an Online Pass or Season Pass for the game, but we’re guessing that the former will be tied into the aforementioned access to The Watch.

So what do we think this footage is from? PS4 version? PC with PS4 specs? It looks a bit better than what we expect from the PS3.
@ShogunRok
I think its Xbox 360 it looks better than PS3 but it doesn't look like PS4/PC graphics in my opinion.
It looks a bit better than ps3, but not what I would expect from next gen machines. It depends how much of the footage is cinematic's and what is actual gameplay.
Altair can't swim. ;_;
@ShogunRok I believe that I read somewhere saying that this is the PC version. I was quite impressed by the underwater gameplay and I'm really looking forward to picking this up on PS4.
@GRIFFEN14 I thought some of the lighting effects looked a little too good to be PS3 footage. Plus, look at the detail on Kenway's model. Chances are Ubisoft will say this was captured on a PC with similar specs to the PS4, like they did with Watch_Dogs.
