Assassin’s Creed 4 Blackbeard’s Wrath DLC pack out now

Ubisoft has announced that the first DLC for Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag multiplayer, Blackbeard’s Wrath, is available from 10 December for Xbox Live and PC, and 11 December for PSN.

Three new characters will be added to the game: Blackbeard himself; the Jaguar; and The Orchid.

Blackbeard, wielding a sword and a short temper is not to be trifled with. His reputation as a feared pirate is justly received and his preferred kill moves include using his tremendous strength to throw his targets off balance and then quickly finishing them with one clean strike.

The Orchid, a Templar-friendly deadly assassin grew up in China, serving as a military advisor in the Quing dynasty where she honed her murderous skills. She executes opponents swiftly and gracefully with her katana, an extension of her mind and body.

The Jaguar, Cuali, an Aztec warrior from Mexico, took to the sea to fight against the Spanish conquest of Central America. A fighter, he survived the destruction of his community and joined forces with a growing contingency of native Templars who sought renewed peace and order. Driven by a mystical force, The Jaguar fights like his namesake, striking swiftly and quietly with his preferred weapon, a discreet axe.

For those interested, the Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag Season Pass includes Freedom Cry (a nine mission self-contained story featuring Edward Kenway’s first mate Adewale), the exclusive Kraken Ship Pack, additional single-player missions, weapons, skins, collectibles, as well as this multiplayer DLC and upcoming new multiplayer characters.
