Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will receive quite a few new multiplayer additions in the following weeks, with the Guild of Rogues DLC bringing three new characters, while two fresh maps are set to debut next week.

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag launched last November and, since then, Ubisoft has released quite a bit of new content both for the multiplayer but also for the single-player campaign, in the form of the Freedom Cry expansion, which is getting a standalone release this month.

Until then, the Guild of Rogues DLC is going live today, February 11, with three new multiplayer characters being available for $2.99/£2.39/€2.99, or for free if you have the Season Pass. Check out the details below.

- The Siren: After years at sea posing as her deceased brother, The Siren is back on land, wielding a lethal navy saber acquired in battle. Ready to put her murderous skills to action, her striking appearance distracts unsuspecting foes, giving her time to make a clean kill. That mystique coupled with her deadly saber has earned her a name that even seasoned mariners fear to utter. - The Stowaway: Seemingly foolhardy and carefree, the Stowaway is a seasoned fighter who has survived a lifetime of battles at sea. Even better on land than on sea, his agility and gun-wielding skills leave victims unaware of the danger he brings. - The Shaman: Driven by forces beyond the mortal realm, he sees this world in a different light. Calm and composed, once he locks on a target he channels the forces of the supernatural to aid him in finishing off his prey with his brutal hatchet.

Next week, on February 17, two multiplayer maps will be available as free DLC.

- Kingston: Alongside Kingston resident’s sturdy, colonial houses, nimble assassins can navigate the tree-tops overlooking the young town, while the careful hunter will find shelter in the covered alleyways of the residential districts. - Charlestown: The fan-favorite map from Assassin’s Creed III is back with a layout offering a mix of streets and open spaces, dominated by the town church.

All the new content is coming to PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
