Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag primarily takes place in which region?

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag primarily takes place in the Caribbean.

Released in 2013, Black Flag follows Edward Kenway, a Welsh privateer and pirate who becomes involved with the Assassin-Templar conflict. The game is set during the early eighteenth-century Golden Age of Piracy and includes major Caribbean locations such as Havana, Nassau, and Kingston.

The open world combines cities, tropical islands, underwater sites, and broad stretches of ocean. Edward's ship, the Jackdaw, is central to exploration, naval combat, trading, and upgrading. This emphasis on sailing grew out of the naval gameplay introduced in Assassin's Creed III.

The Mediterranean is associated with several earlier games, especially the Ezio trilogy, while the North Sea is more closely connected with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Black Flag's historical setting also includes real figures such as Blackbeard, Benjamin Hornigold, and Mary Read, although the game blends documented history with fictional characters and events.
