Black Flag's gameplay will primarily be centered around naval combat. In the naval combat missions, the main objective of the player as Edward is to kill the captain of the enemy ship. This can be done in various ways.<span class="apple-converted-space" style="line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(242,242,242);border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;"> </span></span><span style="line-height:15.75pt;font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(242,242,242);border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Edward could simply grab hold of a swivel gun on his ship, firing the small cannon at his counterpart. He could use one of his (up to four, depending on the upgrades) pistols to simply fire a bullet at the foe’s head. Alternatively, Edward could risk boarding the other ship in a variety of ways, leaping from mast-to-mast and performing an air assassination, or charging into the fray, intending to cut down his foe with his sword.</span>

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is unique within the series in two ways: It is the only Assassin's Creed game to have both a Roman Numeral in its title and a subtitle, and it's the first Assassin's Creed game to take place before the game before it. So far, each Assassin's Creed game has taken place after the one before it, but AC4 takes place a few decades before AC3.
