Following the announcement trailer for Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, Ubisoft has brought online this look at the new assassin, Captain Edward Kenway.

It is 1715. Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established a lawless republic. Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag introduces a young, cocky and fearsome captain named Edward Kenway. His skill with a sword and disdain for authority earn him the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but thrust him into the ancient conflict between Assassins and Templars that threatens to destroy everything the pirates have built.

The game will be available for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC on October 29.
