The new Blackbeard's Wrath downloadable content (DLC) for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will reportedly allow players to control Blackbeard, one of the notorious pirates in the game.

PS3Trophies revealed a list of PlayStation 3 Trophies for the new DLC that features the names of three new characters, an addition to the open-world game's multiplayer roster which includes the infamous Blackbeard.

The Trophies for the Blackbeard's Wrath DLC listed are as follows:

  • Sacred Land - Playing as The Jaguar, be the highest scoring player of a Domination game session.
  • Queen Anne's Revenge - Playing as Blackbeard, perform an acrobatic kill and a gun kill in less than 10 seconds.
  • Pre-emptive Strike - Playing as The Orchid, block 10 abilities from opponents with Sabotage.
  • Elevator to the Gallows - Kill a player using a lift that has been trapped with Booby Trap

The additional characters that are likely to be offered to players include Blackbeard, The Jaguar and The Orchid. There are no details of the price or release date for the Blackbeard's Wrath DLC and the DLC itself has not been officially confirmed.

The Jaguar and The Orchid are characters that have been constructed on fiction for use in the Animus. However, Blackbeard was based on a real-life pirate who terrified the seafarers. He was said to have lit matches and tied it to his beard before he headed for combat to scare his enemies.

The list also includes all of the game's standard Trophies and those of Freedom Cry DLC.
