Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – Aveline
Returns
The star of Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation will
return to the series in Assassin’s Creed IV:
Black Flag. Aveline de Grandpré will appear in
a series of missions found exclusively in
PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 copies of the
game. Jill Murray, writer of Liberation, has
also returned to pen the continuation of
Aveline’s tale.
Aveline’s missions in Black Flag pick up a
ways after her story in Liberation ends. “It’s
a ways forward so Aveline is a bit older,”
Lead Writer Darby McDevitt explains. “It’s not
directly related to the end of her story. If
Assassin’s Creed IV is like a novel, Aveline’s
missions are like a short story.” Providing
about an hour of exclusive content, Aveline’s
narrative is broken up into three missions,
according to Game Director Ashraf Ismail.
McDevitt explained during the San Diego
Comic Con panel that these missions are
made possible thanks to some of Abstergo’s
Animus upgrades. Abstergo Entertainment has
been digging through genetic memories of the
Assassin’s, supposedly in the search for a
good product. “The present-day is set in
Abstergo Entertainment – which is this fun,
hip company to work for… at first,” McDevitt
says. “You are able to access the Aveline stuff
because your coworkers are working on
retrieving different genetic memories from all
kinds of different people.” Of course, this
being Abstergo, there’s something much
darker at play.
