Details about a rumored future "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" multiplayer DLC were allegedly revealed in a leaked Trophy List online.
PS3Trophies.org reportedly added new rewards to the list, igniting rumors about being able to play as BlackBeard.
"[The List] reveals Blackbeard is set to become one of at least three new classes added to the title's multiplayer, alongside The Orchid and The Jaguar," IGN reports.

In other "Assassin's Creed" news, lead game designer Jean-Sebastien Decant talked to Game Reactor about possible merging a future AC title with Ubisoft's recently delayed "Watch Dogs".
"I think we're going toward a gaming place where the open world will be shared with other players. More and more. Socially speaking, but also maybe multiplayer stuff. And we will have to consider the open world much more like a platform that we could sustain for years," Decant told Game Reactor.
The tech site specifically asked about the "Assassin's Creed" and "Watched Dogs" mashup, and Decant said the team was open to the possibility.
"Absolutely, Watch Dogs is kind of showing us the path for the future," Decant said. "But we have to create a... We have to respect our brands. So if we have to go that way with Assassin's Creed we have to think about how it could fit into Assassin's Creed."
However, a Modern-day only "Assassin's Creed" title may be out of the question for now. During a Reddit Q&A early November, lead writer Darby McDevitt explained why it would be difficult to create a believable story line for a Modern-day title.
"I doubt we would do a modern day AC," wrote McDevitt. "There are just too many mechanics we would have to develop to make it [believable] ... vehicles, plausible modern cities, a huge array of ranged weapons, etc."
McDevitt told Reddit users the upcoming "Watch Dogs" title will be enough to "scratch the itch for a modern day AC." The lead writer also reassured fans the modern day aspect will continue in future titles.
"The modern day will most likely remain as a 'context' for all future games, something to tie them all together," McDevitt said.
