All those islands in the Caribbean that are plush vacation spots now? They
used to be colonies, outposts for imperial powers that were replete with
inhumane slave labor. Some of these places exploded—sometimes into self-rule—with
violent uprisings and rebellions. The new add-on—out tomorrow—for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black

places like Haiti. It’s tough to say if the combat seems more violent but the context certainly gives
it a different weight.
