"Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" will hold their first online multiplayer event from Nov. 1 to Nov. 3, giving away special in-game prizes.
Sony PlayStation announced in a blog post the newest AC title would be holding their first community event. The news comes on the heels of AC game developer's Ubisoft announcing that would no longer require players to purchase the Uplay Passport to access online exclusive content.
"We listen to our community and understand that there are concerns over some players' ability to access this feature," Ubisoft said in a statement. "So we have decided to eliminate the cost of the Uplay Passport for Black Flag. This ensures that everyone will be able to use the companion app, Edward's Fleet, online multiplayer and available bonus content at no additional cost."
Ubisoft nixing the online passes means the exclusive multiplayer content will be available for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 for free.
According to Sony's news release, the online multiplayer even is described as followed:
"For "Under Control", you will need to play Domination games and pile up territory captures with our most aristocratic characters: the Huntsman, the Puppeteer, the Dandy and the Duelist. For the uninitiated, Domination games will have you and your team working together to capture territories and defend them from the opposing team to score. The team who fills the scoring gauge or obtains the highest score at the end of the countdown wins."
"For this first multiplayer event, we'll be providing community objectives to get awesome in-game prizes. Starting Friday, you can check out the events section in-game to find out what the current community objectives are. Outside of the community objectives, you'll find a number of things you can win even before reaching the community objective. For instance, you get a unique title just for participating and an exclusive in-game profile picture if you reach the individual objective (15 territories captured)."
