Edward Kenway has found his way back to the Caribbean, but this time, players do not need a console to follow him. More than a decade after Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag introduced the pirate-turned-Assassin, his story is continuing in print with the release of Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple, Vol. 3.
The new graphic novel picks up Edward’s story after the events of Black Flag and takes him into a new adventure involving the Templars, new allies and a search for ancient Pieces of Eden. Published by VIZ Media, the 200-page volume is the latest instalment in a story that began as a webcomic through Ubisoft’s partnership with WEBTOON.
This is not a new Black Flag video game. It is, however, an official continuation of one of Assassin’s Creed’s most popular stories.

Edward Kenway’s story Continues Beyond Black Flag
Black Flag ended with Edward beginning a new chapter of his life after years of chasing wealth and adventure as a pirate. He had finally embraced the Assassin Brotherhood, leaving Ubisoft with plenty of room to explore what happened next.
Ubisoft used that opening for Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple, a webcomic that follows Edward after the events of the 2013 game. The story moves beyond the Caribbean and into Southeast Asia, where Edward searches for Pieces of Eden while facing new Templar enemies.
Ubisoft described Forgotten Temple as a direct continuation of Edward’s story. The company said the project would explore a period of his life that had not been fully covered in the game.
The story also introduces a modern-day character, Noa Kim, who is forced by Abstergo to explore the memories of Edward Kenway through the Animus. VIZ Media says Noa’s investigation gradually becomes connected to Edward’s adventure in Southeast Asia.
