So this is an unusual one. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, one of the best pirate games and proudly part of the AC series all-time top five is getting a sequel. With Ubisoft busy working towards the Assassin’s Creed Mirage release date, AC Infinity, and the Japan-based Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, a follow-up to Black Flag – focusing on the exploits of Edward Kenway – is a massively welcome addition to the currently burgeoning AC canon. But there’s a catch. Yes, this is an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag sequel, but it’s not in videogame form – Ubisoft is partnering with Korean digital comics giant Webtoon to release the Black Flag sequel as a multi-part comic book.
