Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag will feature connected single-player features on next-gen releases. This means that you will be connected to the game’s community even when playing solo.
Creative director Jean Guesdon said: “ACIVBF will also be available on Next Gen consoles. In addition to improved graphics and physic, Next Gen versions will bring to the players new connected features allowing them to feel that even if they remain “Single Player” it will be better to be a “Single Connected Player”. I mean, that Next Gen Consoles will allow players to have a solo experience that benefit the presence of a huge community.”
