Assassin's Creed IV was announced quite some time ago for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One; however, Ubisoft failed to mention that this isn't the only way to play the game. Sony has announced today that Assassin's Creed IV will in fact be making use of the PlayStation Vita's remote play feature, and will be able to connect to the PS4 to play the game off screen.
Besides the addition of remote play, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game also feature an exclusive "level." While this isn't the first time an Assassin's Creed game got exclusive content on a Sony console, it is the first time "this" type of exclusive content has been used. While most AC games include some sort of extra mission for the main story, this time around the exclusive level actually follows a different character; a girl by the name of "Aveline." Aveline is the first female protagonist in the Assassin's Creed series, and she was also the star of Assassin's Creed III: Liberation on the PlayStation Vita. Although Ubisoft didn't stay how her story will fit into Black Flag (especially since it takes place many years later), it is interesting to see her make her return.
