Assassin’s Creed Pirates Free on iOS This Week

Ubisoft’s mobile ship combat title Assassin’s Creed Pirates was a fairly decent addition to the smartphone gaming market, allowing users to focus on combat with ships rather than the rote assassination of the series. It’s an off-shoot of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and set in the same universe.

If you haven’t gotten a chance to check it out yet, Ubisoft has revealed that it will be available for free on iOS all week along. Hilariously, it seems that Android users have been ignored entirely. Pirates allows you to use different ships and upgrade the same, along with recruiting your own crew and finding treasures spread out across the world. You can play and compete with other players in the process. It also has some fairly snazzy graphics including great water and wind simulation.

Will you be picking up Assassin’s Creed Pirates? Or do you already own the game? Let us know in the comments.
