“The present day in ACIV is basically the logical continuation of the ACIII present day. But this time, instead of making you play through a character of the past through a character in the present, we wanted to make it even more immersive for the player, make it more fun. So, you are now a full-time employee of Abstergo Entertainment, and you’ve been hired there as a researcher. You are the one in the Animus doing the research on an important character from the past, Edward Kenway.”
