Which Assassin’s Creed game follows Edward Kenway, a Welsh privateer who becomes an Assassin?

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag follows Edward Kenway, a Welsh privateer who becomes an Assassin.

Released in 2013, Black Flag is set in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, mainly in the early eighteenth century. Edward begins as a privateer seeking wealth and independence, but his encounters with Assassins, Templars, and pirates draw him into the wider conflict.

The game emphasizes naval exploration and ship combat. Edward commands the Jackdaw, which can be upgraded with weapons, armor, and equipment. Major locations include Havana, Nassau, and Kingston, alongside numerous islands and coastal areas.

Edward is the grandfather of Connor Kenway, the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed III, and the father of Haytham Kenway. This family connection links Black Flag to the North American storyline, although its Caribbean setting and pirate-focused gameplay give it a distinct identity.
