Ubisoft has released a new set of screenshots showcasing Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. The developer has also announced that 40% of the gameplay will be at sea, meaning we will be seeing plenty of Jack Sparrow vs Davy Jones naval warfare action. The screenshots show exploding ships, a tropical backdrop and Edward Kenway involved in some cutthroat violence. Despite being called “cocky” and “charismatic”, Edward looks angry (or maybe tired?), a little sallow and underweight as implied by his prominent cheekbones and down-turned mouth, plus that eye makeup he’s always wearing. Also, if that’s what Blackbeard’s beard is going to look like, then I’ll take admiring the way Lara’s hair flies every time she aims down her sights all day long.
