Which Assassin's Creed game is set primarily in the Caribbean and stars pirate Edward Kenway?

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is the Caribbean-set game starring the pirate Edward Kenway.

Released in 2013, Black Flag follows Edward, a Welsh privateer who becomes involved with Assassins and Templars while pursuing wealth and freedom during the Golden Age of Piracy. The game combines land-based stealth with extensive naval exploration across a large Caribbean map.

Edward encounters historical pirates including Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Charles Vane. The story also features Nassau, Havana, Kingston, and other locations shaped by eighteenth-century Caribbean history. Although Edward is connected to the Assassin Brotherhood, the game initially emphasizes his personal ambitions rather than an inherited commitment to the Creed.

Assassin's Creed Rogue also includes sailing and overlaps chronologically with Black Flag, which can cause confusion. Rogue, however, stars Shay Cormac and focuses on a later shift from Assassin to Templar. Edward is also Connor's grandfather, linking Black Flag to Assassin's Creed III.
