‘ASSASSIN’S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG’ confirmed. Plus! Release date. Next gen! DYGAF?

Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Crack the whips upon the fatigued backs of the coding slaves. Pull their ears and let them know that this year is no different than previous ones. A new copy of Everyone Loves Ezio (and hates everytone else) must ship! This one shall have pirates. Confirmed is the egregious leak from a couple of days ago.

Joystiq:

Ubisoft’s official Asssassin’s Creed site reveals a launch date for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag by use of some technical wizardry that involves replacing a letter in the URL.

As DarkZero discovered, heading to the official AC4 site for the world premiere trailer, which will launch in four days, and then simply adding a “v” to the end of the url reveals the above image.

The Ubisoft site notes an October 29 release date for AC4 and states it’s “also coming to next-gen consoles.” Sony announced the PlayStation 4 last week, Microsoft is expected to announce the next Xbox within a few months.
