As if Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag didn’t have enough going for it already with its exquisite trailers and new gameplay touches, Ubisoft is bringing something extra to the table: the opportunity to join The Watch.
This is a new promotional hub that will launch alongside the game on the first day, enabling users to join up as a “true” assassin and take part in a number of services. These include catching the latest news about the game, learning about upcoming events (like multiplayer sessions), checking out fan art and taking part in puzzles, and quizzes for Assassin’s Creed lore experts. In addition, you’ll also be offered assassination contracts in-game and it’s up to you whether you want to accept or not.
Membership in The Watch is free, but there’s a catch. In order to get a download code and take part, you’ll need to pre-order the game before its release. You’ve got plenty of time to do so, as the official launch date of October 29 is still a ways off. It never hurts to jump on board sooner rather than later! You can learn more by watching the official trailer here.
Assassin’s Creed IV will be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U, as well as next-gen consoles.
