Ubisoft teams up with WEBTOON for ‘Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple’ webcoming

Ubisoft recently announced that it has teamed up with WEBTOON to launch the new Assassin’s Creed Forgotten Temple webcomic.

Specifically, this upcoming webcomic will be published by REDICE STUDIO, the notable content studio behind series such as  Omniscient Reader, I’m the Max-Level Newbie, and Solo Leveling, among others.

As for its story, this upcoming Assassin’s Creed webcomic will continue the story of Edward Kenway, and it is set following the events of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. In the series, Edward Kenway is on a quest to find Pieces of Eden on the coasts of the Indian Ocean – meaning he will be in and around Southeast Asia. Kenway will also be introduced to Noa, a Korean American descendant of Edward Kenway, as she investigates the Assassin’s past in the present day.

“Assassin’s Creed is a one-of-a-kind IP, and our goal was to create a work that would be appealing not only to fans of the original game, but also to readers who are encountering the Assassin’s Creed IP for the first time through WEBTOON. We are thrilled to work with UBISOFT and WEBTOON to tell a new side of the Edward James Kenway story set in Southeast Asia. We can’t wait for fans to dive into this rich new storyline and entry into the Assassin’s Creed universe,” said REDICE STUDIO.

Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple will be localized and available to WEBTOON readers in the US, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and France. The webcomic’s first six episodes will be available on April 24, 2023 at 5pm PT / April 25 at 8am PHT.

As a whole, the series will feature three seasons and a total of 150 episodes.
