In the initial moments of the newest cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, we see our dashing hero Edward Kenway in a bar enjoying the pirates life. From there, we see how a bar-room brawl turns into a hunt across the high seas for an assassin’s target, culminating in the assassination amongst the chaos of naval warfare. This trailer tells a story: the story of Edward the Pirate, Edward the Assassin and the crossover between the two sides of him.
