    Assassin’s Creed Pirates gets new missions and more in first major update

    By

    Once a pirate, always a pirate is what they say! Even when you've found yourself at the end of a mighty fine lootin' and shootin' journey out to sea, there's always another adventure just lying in wait around the corner: especially when it comes to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Pirates. And in true Assassin's Creed fashion, the new content has already started rolling out less than a month after the game's initial release, to keep you cruising across the Seven Seas while the wind is still fresh in your sails.The bulk of the update is centered on a brand new campaign mission that's set around a gorgeous new map called Nassau. The Nassau map is said to bring a higher level of challenge into the fold, as seasoned Pirates players will now have to master new dodging mechanics, which effectively let them take down enemy cannonballs in mid-air. 10 new side missions will also accompany the new campaign, leading way for more treasures to be uncovered and more ships to be unlocked."And finally, the first Pirates update will also be adding in a new social component that allows all mobile buccaneers to compare their journey at sea with other players in the game. We happened to think that Assassin's Creed Pirates was a pretty fine swashbuckling good time when we reviewed the game back in December, and so more of the same surely won't disappoint. The new update is officially available today for both iOS and Android versions of the game.

    Assassin’s Creed Pirates sets sail on mobile seas next week

    By

    Land ho, fellow pirate-assassins! Ubisoft has announced a brand new Assassin's Creed game today that will be coming exclusively to mobile devices next week. As someone who's personally played through every main game in the Assassin's Creed series (and who is currently enjoying this year's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to no foreseeable end), I'm more than a little excited to see what Ubisoft is able to do with their huge blockbuster franchise on the mobile platform.Keeping up with the prevalent pirate theme of AC IV, the aptly named Assassin's Creed Pirates on mobile will let players take control of a young and aspiring pirate captain named Alonzo Batilla, as they set sail through the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy. The gameplay itself looks to take many of the same core mechanics that fans of the console series will recognize, such as managing their crew, upgrading their ship, and taking part in massive naval battles that play out in real-time."And of course, what kind of Assassin's Creed game would it be without lots of encounters with the Assassins and the Templars along the way? Well everything we've seen from the debut gameplay trailer so far makes it seem like Ubisoft's upcoming mobile adventure has captured the naval components of AC IV perfectly, right down to the firing mechanics and the breathtaking 3D graphics of the ships themselves and the crashing waves.Assassin's Creed Pirates will be coming to higher-end iOS and Android mobile devices on December 5, 2013, and will set you back a handful of doubloons (or more accurately, $4.99).
