Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag DLC Bundle: Jackdaw Edition Features 7 Expansion Packs
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is getting a Jackdaw Edition retail bundle - but it will be released strictly for the UK only.
According to Joystiq, the bundle will include all of the game's DLC expansions, and it debut in Europe later this month. Altogether, it has seven DLC's Freedom Cry, Death Vessel Pack, Kraken Ship Pack, Crusader & Florentine Pack, Illustrious Pirates Pack, Blackbeard's Wrath Pack, and the Guild of Rogues Pack.
It will launch for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC on March 28.
In other news, the next Assassin's Creed game will not take place in feudal Japan as previously rumored by the gaming world.
Jade Raymond, Assassin's Creed producer and Ubisoft Toronto studio head, made the announcement in an interview with AdWeek.
"When we're building a franchise, we're thinking of a whole universe and how we're developing a meta-story that could live on for many years in games and TV," Raymond said in the interview. "If the story has nowhere to go, then you end up with the video game equivalent of The Matrix 2 or something where it's never going to be quite as genius."
So far the franchise has seen settings in the pirate plagued Caribbean, the American Revolution, the Renaissance, and the Crusades era Middle East.
The rumors began in 2011 after a poll taken by Ubisoft asked gamers where they would like to see the series go next. Japan was one of the options listed, and it was one of the more popular picks by fans. However, according to Polygon, the development team feels that is one of the worst locations for the game to take place.
