Following its current-generation debut on October 29, Assassin's Creed 4 has now officially sailed into a next-generation dock, thanks to the release of its PlayStation 4 incarnation.

Described (by publisher Ubisoft) as the "most beautiful chapter of the franchise to date," and by our own 4/5 star review as "a vibrant historical adventure, drawn from bold characters and edge-of-your-seat sailing," the game offer players the chance to live the life of a pirate who spends his time sailing the high seas, inexplicably avoiding scurvy AND chlamydia, and changing the course of history by stabbing jerks in the neck. Helpfully, this can all be accomplished without being tethered to a TV, as the PS4 iteration ofAssassin's Creed 4 supports Vita Remote Play right out of the box.

Ubisoft has also used this opportunity to explain the game's Season Pass, though all the information presented today can also be found in our reportfrom early October.
