Edward Kenway's ship in Assassin's Creed IV is called the Jackdaw. The Jackdaw is a military clipper ship fully equipped for Naval Combat.

The Jackdaw can be upgraded with more cannons, stronger hulls, and new abilities and new weapons. Many of which you saw in AC3. In addition to upgrades, the Jackdaw can be repaired, and will have an expandable crew. Upgrades can be acquired through raiding, looting ships full of cargo for their goods and intern exchanging them for a profit. Cargo can be viewed on each individual ships through Edwards Spyglass. It can also be treated like a main character in the game.

The relationship between Edward and the Jackdaw has been compared to that of Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars, or Captain James Kirk and the Starship Enterprise in Star Trek.

With this ship you can raid enemy's fortresses and attack enemy's ships. You can upgrade this ship with more weapons health and more.

In this little part there will be all the maps or places that are available to play on.

Kingston: Much of the city coexists with the natural terrain, and in such, feels very different than any other city in the Assassin's Creed series.

Havana: Havana is a Spanish colony that exudes a European aura. Comparable to Venice from Assassin's Creed II in terms of its verticality and emphasis on rooftop navigation.

Nassau:At the start, it's a pirate republic that acts as a friendly hub to Edward and his compatriots. But at a certain point, the British besiege the city, and Nassau becomes a much more threatening, hostile location.

Island info: Ubisoft confirmed that there will be islands to play on. There is about 50 i think that you can get to. I will update if I find more info.

Assassin's Creed series creative director Alex Hutchinson, has expressed an interest in continuing the story of Connor, protagonist of Assassin's Creed III, but that they would also like to create a new protagonist and setting for new games, ceasing the trilogy system established by the Ezio Auditore games.

Spyglass can be a very important thing in Assassins creed. What this does is that you are allowed to objects from a far distance. It can also tell dangers and information about that certain objects. You will definitely need this during the campaign and maybe multiplayer

Well what do you know they are still keeping the hidden blade, duh. What game would Assassins Creed be without this weapon. Anyway this weapon is one of the main weapons in the game. It is good at close quarters and really good at stealth to. The character you play as has two in each sleeve and can be used at any time.

The Flintlock pistols were first introduced in AC3. They are good for long range but terrible for stealth. They will act just like they did in AC3. If you shoot this guards will be alert that they're was a murder and will hunt you down just to kill you.

Swords are back! They are just like any other game big and better for big fights. In this game they now have Bigger combos.

These weapons you should know what this is if you played AC3. They are returning! They are a medium range weapon pretty good.

This is a new weapon coming to AC4. This weapon is different kind of Darts that can be used at your will. They're can be distractions and poison darts to effect guards. It will be really interesting to use.

This will be returning. These are used to get away or escape a chase. Can be very useful

They are coming back. They have not been here since revelations. You all know what they are used for.
