Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag release date brought forward

Ubisoft has unexpectedly moved the release date for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag forward on current-gen machines.

The game will now land this month on Tuesday October 29th on PS3 and Xbox 360. It had originally been planned to hit those formats on November 1st.

The game will still arrive on PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and PC on November 22nd – meaning yes, it will be out for PS4 a week before the machine is actually available and will arrive alongside the Xbox One at launch.
