With the recent announcement of the sixth game in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise- Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, comes a rather polarised set of reactions from the game’s fans. Playing this time around as Edward Kenway, the swashbuckling pirate assassin, we are set to be treated with another helping of the lineage that Assassin’s Creed 3 gave us. Edward, the grandfather of Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor), and father of the Templar, Haytham, already seems to be a much more fleshed out character than Ratonhnhaké:ton ever was. He’s set to be greedy, ruthless and charming, all in equal measure (everything that you would want a pirate to be), and he’s an assassin, too.
