Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag‘s upcoming add-on Freedom Cry will include new locations and hints at the next Assassin’s Creed game, Ubisoft has told Eurogamer.
But – sadly – it won’t include a kraken, despite the DLC’s developer Ubisoft Quebec initially considering the idea.
Freedom Cry focuses on first mate-turned-assassin Adéwalé, 15 years after the main game takes place. But it also weaves back into the main AC4 narrative by featuring at least one returning character and “a notable object”, creative director Wesley Pincombe explained.
The add-on moves the action to Port-au-Prince, capital of modern day Haiti, a location entirely new to the game.
