Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft, released in 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and later for PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia. The game is set in the West Indies during the Golden Age of Piracy from 1715 to 1722 and follows the story of Edward Kenway, a notorious Welsh pirate and the grandfather of Assassin's Creed III's protagonist. The game's narrative is framed by a modern-day storyline where the player is an employee of Abstergo Industries, uncovering secrets related to the Assassin-Templar conflict. The gameplay features a seamless open-world environment, allowing players to explore the Caribbean, engage in naval combat, and captain the ship Jackdaw. The game retains the series' third-person land-based exploration, melee combat, and stealth system, with a strong focus on ship-based exploration and hunting mechanics. Critics praised the game for its open-world gameplay, improved naval combat, side-quests, graphics, and pirate theme, although the modern-day story and some historical missions received mixed reviews. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag received 'generally favorable' reviews, with a Metacritic score ranging from 83 to 88 across different platforms. It won several awards, including the Spike VGX 2013 award for Best Action Adventure Game and GameSpot's awards for PS4 and Xbox One Game of the Year. The game was a commercial success, selling over 11 million copies as of 2014, and is considered one of the best games in the Assassin's Creed series, revitalizing the franchise with its fresh and expansive open-world design. The game's historical significance lies in its innovative approach to naval exploration and its impact on the open-world gaming genre, setting new benchmarks for future games. It remains a popular title among gamers and collectors, particularly for its engaging gameplay and rich historical setting.
