What Happened To Edward Kenway After Black Flag?

I heard they are making ac4 remake but after skull and bones I lost faith to it.

[@mandrews6282]

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.

[@DaBeanieBoi1191]

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

Getting to play his final moments is my ideal ending for a Black Flag sequel. Imagine the hopeless feeling of dread as the player has to fight to keep Edward alive fully knowing he'll die, and if it's a new-comer to the franchise, imagine how shocked they'd by his death!

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

[@leviathanman7253]

Edward was a tragic character. Not the most tragic assassinin the franchise, that is Altair. But still his life after Black Flag was one big tragedy

[@thegamingadder9739]

Honestly his whole life was quite bad. During black flag he suffered a lot of loss and was betrayed and put down after the game. Pretty shit all through

[@deepflare1028]

Yeah, Altair lost his wife and son to that pick Abbas, more like Ab Ass

[@mr.o5421]

@@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

[@neiloconnor7776]

I honestly think Edward,Connor and arno have a more tragic life

[@m.o.2185]

I think the argument that Ezio was arguably in his prime in his 40s (his Brotherhood age), why would 42 be advanced age for Edward? It think it is more due to Edward being out of practice. Ezio never stopped being an assassin. Tbh, Edward never even started.

[@Secret20246]

Ezio also encountered age related issues during AC revelations

[@technounionrepresentative4274]

i guess Edward lived a more reckless and unhealthy lifestyle, that might be why 42 is "old" for him

[@blue-soulx2667]

yes but in ac reveletions ezio was allready mid 50's wich is a more than a decade since brotherhood, its just that ezio never stop to be an assasin in that time so he was in perfectly fit and trained while edward more or less completly retire from assasin life after black flag @@Secret20246

[@jbcatz5]

Jennifer did meet Elise, who was in London on her own mission but asked to infiltrate the Kenway mansion to get letters Haytham had written. Jennifer did give them to Elise even after rumbling her cover story, but on the condition she was left to herself for the rest of her days and never bothered again by Assassins or Templars.

[@AnonymousEnigma19]

What happened to his daughter Jennifer Scott is the very symbol of Edwards humiliating defeat, while his son Haytham got suckered into joining the Templars his eldest daughter suffered, poor girl was basically a Slave, even after avenging their father she faced more loss when her own brother lost his life by the hands of his own son a nephew she never got to meet.

[@dub3140]

It is very disappointing that Edward was killed like that. His son ends up being way more capable at a later age too. That’s crazy.

[@SS2LP]

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.

[@Kira22558]

His last name literally means "vision way" Which unironically fits his tragic life.

[@bbestbilala]

same sort of applies to haythem. lost his father and was practically an orphan, raised without his sister who is alive somewhere suffering. then having to kill a person who raised him all while discovering he was the very one behind all his tragedies. and at the end, killed by his own son.

[@leviathanman7253]

He had a good heart it was just buried under his greed. By the time he realized his wrongdoings it was already too late to fix what he did. He does try and redeem himself by helping those that are left as well as the Assassins and does what right by not letting the observatory fall into the wrong hands.

[@badstrock835]

At least, he would be very proud of Connor Kenway who fairly honour is name and his memory. Even more with the possible good ending of Connor maybe the only of the family who knew a good and healthy life in the end contrary of the awful lies of Abstergo

The end of the Black Flag novelisation adds a bit more to what happens immediately after the game. Edward is called off wrapping up some unfinished business from before he set off, setting up things for the start of Forsaken’s early years.
