Ubisoft released some more footage of the latest in the Assassin’s Creed series today.
Here’s a high level summary:
- Assassination contracts make a return as a form of side quest.
- Chases appear to offer a greater time frame for you to catch your opponent. A chase on land can quickly transition to a chase between two ships.
- The player is able to halt their ship at pretty much any time to wander around whatever world pieces may be nearby.
- The player can find and follow treasure maps as a side quest.
- The player not only has to keep an eye out for enemy ships, but also has to contend with storms that could potentially damage their freighter. If you’re really crafty, you can lure enemies into storms to assist with their demise.
And perhaps most importantly:
- Your merry pirate friends will cheer for you whenever you arrive on your ship.
