Ubisoft is keen to remind fans that Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is still a game built on stealth movement and attacks and a new seven-minute video shows how players will be able to move around undetected as long as they use the environment.

Ashraf Ismail, the director working on the game, shows that the various cities of the Caribbean offer a lot of hiding spots and make it easy to move around, follow a target and finally deliver an unseen killing blow.

The video also shows how a diver’s bell can be used to search for treasure and how movement across rooftops has been improved.

The game will be centered around naval battles taking place in the shallow waters of the Caribbean.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will be launched on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 in late October in North America and early November in Europe.
