Coming after Wayforward and Capcom's recreated Ducktales money vault in the iam8bit exhibit and Nintendo's theme park like presence last E3, Ubisoft is bringing Jackdaw, the now infamous ship from upcoming game Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, to this year's San Diego Comic Con.
Jackdaw will be placed at 5th Avenue Landing, behind the San Diego Convention center, and open to the public July 19 to 20, from 10 AM to 7 PM. It will be an actual three level structure attendees can enter to see live weapon demonstrations from historian Mike Loades, as well as play demos of the game, including its multiplayer and Game Lab modes. Todd McFarlane will also be in attendance in Jackdaw on the 19th, 4 to 7 PM and the 20th 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM, to sign an exclusive Black Flag poster as well as unveil the McFarlane Toys' line of Black Flag figures and resin statues.
As we have covered before, Kenway will be a central element in the game. The ship itself will have upgradeable navigation and weapons options.
Meanwhile, Ubisoft booth # 135 in Comic Con will have a small recreation of Chicago from July 18 to 21 to promote Watch_Dogs. Ubisoft has made a Rayman Legends demo available in the Gamespot booth, as well as outside Comic Con.
