If you went looking for an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag sequel and expected another game, the answer is a little surprising. Edward Kenway’s story really does continue after the credits, but his next voyage happens in a comic rather than on a console.

The official sequel is Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple, a WEBTOON series created with Ubisoft. Its next English paperback, Volume 4, releases on August 18, 2026. It costs $19.99, runs 184 pages, and is available to preorder through VIZ and participating bookstores.

This is not a newly announced Black Flag 2, and it is not DLC for Black Flag Resynced. It is a direct story continuation that follows Edward after the events of the original game.

What is Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple?

Ubisoft describes Forgotten Temple as a sequel story to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. It begins after Edward has fully joined the Assassin Brotherhood and sends him away from the Caribbean on a new hunt for Pieces of Eden.

The voyage takes Edward to Southeast Asia, where he faces new Templars, shifting alliances, and another treasure hunt tied to the First Civilization. That setting gives the series familiar Black Flag ingredients—ships, hidden ruins, Assassins, and dangerous relics—without simply replaying the same Caribbean adventure.

There is also a modern-day storyline. Noa Kim, a Korean American descendant of Edward, explores his ancestor’s memories while trying to understand his own family and Abstergo’s plans. The Animus connection becomes more personal as those memories begin to affect what Noa can do outside the simulation.

Ubisoft originally planned the story as three seasons, and the completed WEBTOON now runs for 151 episodes. It was written by ARC, illustrated by Tabii, adapted by YEON, and based on Ubisoft’s original work.

Is Forgotten Temple really a Black Flag sequel?

Yes, but it is a sequel in story, not a sequel game. Ubisoft itself introduced Forgotten Temple as the continuation Edward Kenway deserved. The series picks up after Black Flag instead of retelling it, so it sits in a very different place from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced.

Resynced rebuilds the original adventure for modern hardware. Forgotten Temple moves Edward forward into a new chapter. Players who only want another open-world pirate game will not find that here, but fans interested in what Edward did after leaving the Caribbean finally get a real answer.
