A month and a half has now passed since Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag first hit our store shelves on the Playstation 3 and Xbox360 gaming consoles. After this long a period, Ubisoft have finally decided to make more money off the franchise by beginning to launch multiplayer DLC content for the game.
Today the publisher confirmed the availability of the Blackbeard’s Wrath multiplayer DLC content on the Xbox360, Xbox One and PC platforms (Playstation 3 / 4 release slated for the 12th December 2013). While not introducing any new content into the main single-player campaign, this will introduce three new characters to the multiplayer mode – Blackbeard, The Jaguar and The Orchid – each bringing their unique set of skills to battle for the title of best assassin.
The content is now available for purchase via the consoles respective digital download channel, as well as through the Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag season pass. For players interested in the Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Season Pass, it’s available now and includes Freedom Cry – a nine mission self-contained story featuring Edward Kenway’s first mate Adewale, as well as the exclusive Kraken Ship Pack, additional single-player missions, weapons, skins and collectibles, including the Blackbeard’s Wrath add-on content as well as upcoming new characters for the multiplayer mode.
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 contingent of native Templars who sought renewed peace and order. Driven by a mystical force, The Jaguar strikes swiftly and quietly with his preferred weapon, a discreet axe.
The Orchid, a deadly assassin grew up in China, serving as a military advisor in the Qing dynasty, honing her murderous skills. She executes opponents swiftly and gracefully with her blade, an extension of her mind and body.
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.
