14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft has just confirmed that the Blackbeard's Wrath DLC for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is real and that it will debut later today, December 10, across most of the game's platforms, bringing three new multiplayer characters, including Blackbeard himself.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag delivered a great single-player story that saw players control Edward Kenway during the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean in the early 1700s, meeting famous pirates like Blackbeard.
After hearing a few leaks about a DLC for the game called Blackbeard's Wrath, Ubisoft has now confirmed that the add-on is real and that it's going to debut today, December 10, across the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One.
The new add-on brings three new multiplayer characters, including Blackbeard himself. Check out the official details about all of them below, via a statement from Ubisoft.
- Blackbeard, wielding a sword and a short temper is not to be trifled with. His reputation as a feared pirate is justly received and his preferred kill moves include using his tremendous strength to throw his targets off balance and then quickly finishing them with one clean strike.
- The Orchid, a Templar-friendly deadly assassin grew up in China, serving as a military advisor in the Quing dynasty where she honed her murderous skills. She executes opponents swiftly and gracefully with her katana, an extension of her mind and body.
- The Jaguar, Cuali, an Aztec warrior from Mexico, took to the sea to fight against the Spanish conquest of Central America. A fighter, he survived the destruction of his community and joined forces with a growing contingency of native Templars who sought renewed peace and order. Driven by a mystical force, The Jaguar fights like his namesake, striking swiftly and quietly with his preferred weapon, a discreet axe.
The DLC is out today for those who own the Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Season Pass.
