You can also view the Animus Database and, if you so wish, listen to all those lovely sea shanties that you’ve not been able to get out of your head for the last few weeks. Well for starters, you can play manage Edward’s fleet on the go carrying out repairs, sending them on missions and engaging in combat, just as you do in the main game. Whilst the app couldn’t connect to my Xbox 360 (as it was back home and switched off), all my stats, ships, treasure maps and shanties were there, sucked directly off the Ubisoft servers. At around 200mb you may want to wait until you are at a home or connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot before you download it impatient as ever, I had to get it there and then.Īs you’d imagine you need to sign in to your Uplay account to get started, the idea being that your device connects to your console via the Ubisoft cloud servers. I’d tried to download it before with no luck “incompatible device” Google Play told me.īut today, standing in the Sydney heat I was finally able to download the app. I was out and about today when Ubisoft sent me an email about the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Companion App. But right now I’m playing Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag with my trusty Galaxy Note 10.1 helping me navigate the high seas. We’ve had the likes of iFruit for GTA V (which has just been made compatible with my tablet- yay) and Battlefield 4’s Battlelog app (which gets exciting as soon as you’ve reached level 10 and unlocked commander mode). Whilst this was a BIG DEAL in trying to sell us the idea behind Nintendo’s Wii U controller, the sudden influx of apps that allow gamers to use their existing hardware to extend the game experiences nothing short of revolutionary. I’m fascinated by the idea of complementary second-screen apps, especially those that allow you to take an element of the game with you on the move. Shane the Gamer’s Australian swashbuckling editor, Darren Price, takes a break from shivering his timbers to check out the app on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. As well as some handy features to help you plunder the Caribbean in the console game, it also allows you to take the game with you.

Today, Ubisoft Australia announced the availability of the Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Companion App for the iPad and Android tablets.
