What Happened To Edward Kenway After Black Flag?

Ойындар

Edward Kenway's journey in Assassin's Creed Black Flag had its fair share of highs and lows. After witnessing the loss of many of his closest friends, it was quite unexpected to witness the more uplifting ending of Assassin's Creed Black Flag. However, what happens in Edward Kenway's life after the events of Black Flag, when compared to other assassins in the franchise, is arguably the most tragic of them all.

Assassin's Creed is an open-world, action-adventure, and stealth game franchise published by Ubisoft and developed mainly by its studio Ubisoft Montreal using the game engine Anvil and its more advanced derivatives. Created by Patrice Désilets, Jade Raymond, and Corey May, the Assassin's Creed video game series depicts a fictional millennia-old struggle between the Order of Assassins, who fight for peace and free will, and the Knights Templar, who desire peace through order and control. The series features historical fiction, science fiction, and fictional characters intertwined with real-world historical events and historical figures. In most games, players control a historical Assassin while also playing as an Assassin Initiate or someone caught in the Assassin-Templar conflict in the present-day framing story. Considered a spiritual successor to the Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, based on the historical Hashashin sect of the medieval Middle East.

    If the remake does well we could see another game set there. We also just never get any pirate games at this level, so I do think it’s a very unique opportunity for Ubisoft since they’ve already botched being first to market for a an open world Samurai title. Pirate life is a very very underutilized setting for triple A single player titles.

    It's quite sad how Haytham goes from wanting to offer forgiveness to the mugger, to ending up becoming the Grand Master of the Templar Order. However, the fact he was able to rescue his sister after so many years later. Edward really didn't deserve to die like that, but I'm glad Haytham and Jennifer got revenge on Birch. Edward just keeps losing throughout his life huh

    Actually I can see them doing what they did in ac3 more you play as Edward at the beginning living out his final years as the tutorial . Than after beating the muggers, the scene transitions to Haytham listening to the fight and you play as Haytham and sneak as you arrive to the door the cutscene plays like in the story. From there you get to play as Haytham and learn on how he became a Templar and his adventures before the events of rogue and 3

    @@deepflare1028 Yeah but not only that. Altair was raised as soldier from age 10 during dark and brutal 3rd crusade and he didn't even know his parents, his father was beheaded in Egypt and his mother died soon after his birth. The only "parent" he had was Al Mualim who will execute him if he compromises the creed. After he maried Maria he went to Cyprus where he watched many of his brothers die. He returned to Masyaf with PTSD not only to find out that his younger son Sef and Malik were executed but also that Abbas is mentor now. What's even worse is that his son died beliving Altair ordered his execusion because that's what the killer told him. After Maria was killed right in front of him, he was banished from his only home which was Masyaf. When he returned and was a mentor again, he had to send his older son away and then he locked him self up in a valut. He died alone in cold and empty Masyaf that will soon be invated by Mongols and all that he has build will be destroyed. So Altair is far more tragic assassin than Ezio, Connor, Edward and other assassins in the franchise

    I mean his entire life is tragic. Dude is dissatisfied living on the family farm growing up, gets married to a rich girl with an asshole father goes to become a privateer and barely makes any money ends up becoming a pirate rather than returning home to his wife. He ignores her and barely sends letters for 10 years and all the positive relationships he builds with people during those years eventually die off. He finally gets rich though only to find out his wife had died a couple years prior and only because his daughter he had no idea about was sent to him in the West Indies. Then the rest of his life happens as told here in the video. The guy’s entire life is tragedy and loss and a lot of it is because of him and his bad decision making. He then dies knowing he failed to protect his kids and the templars are likely to do horrible things to them. That same daughter is sold into slavery until her brother rescues her years later. I can only imagine what Edward would think if he knew what Haythen became too, fighting against what Edward stood for above all else, freedom.
