The remake of 2013's Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag launches on 9 July for PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X.
New footage shows Edward Kenway dispatching enemies quickly without RPG-style health-bar combat, while Ubisoft says it has improved movement fluidity with landing rolls, mantle boosts and added zip lines.
Announced in March and detailed further in April, the Caribbean-set remake is positioned as a course correction after the series' 2017-2025 shift toward open-world RPG design.
