Later today Ubisoft are expected to announce Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

We know that the Assassin’s Creed IV will feature a new protagonist and time, but until now we had little idea what they could be. Kotaku have uncovered a poster that seems to confirm a pirate theme for the game, so you can forget about an Assassin’s Creed based on the life of the seminal US hardcore punk rock band.

This follows a Reddit post from earlier in the year, claiming to have seen the game mentioned on a PowerPoint presentation of a passenger on a plane.

Now the first alleged screenshot of the game has emerged, from Examiner writer Nicholas Gigante.

As you can see, it’s very blurry, and it’s pretty hard to say for sure what the character is. We could assume a pirate theme, having seen Black Flag name and the Kotaku story, but it looks pretty inconclusive to me.

We’ll follow up on this story later today when Ubisoft host their Assassin’s Creed event.

Are you excited by a pirate theme for Assassin’s Creed? Are you convinced by the Kotaku or Examiner images?
