About Assassin’s Creed® IV Black Flag™

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag drops you into 1715, at the height of the Golden Age of Piracy, when outlaws rule the Caribbean and have carved out their own lawless Republic where corruption, greed and cruelty are simply the norm. It's a vivid, sun-soaked stage for an action-adventure that leans hard into seafaring and pirate life.

At the center of it all is Edward Kenway, a brash young captain whose hunger for glory earns him the respect of legends like Blackbeard. That same ambition, however, pulls him into the ancient war between Assassins and Templars, a conflict that threatens to tear down everything the pirates have managed to build for themselves.

By tying a personal story of ambition to a larger, secretive struggle, Black Flag frames its open Caribbean as both a playground and a powder keg. It's an invitation to live out the pirate fantasy on PC while getting swept into the enduring shadow war that runs beneath the surface of the era.
