Comic publisher REDICE and game developer Ubisoft have partnered for their first-ever global content collaboration, Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple.
The original webcomic series published by REDICE STUDIO, Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple, will bring a new chapter in the Assassin’s Creed franchise to WEBTOON’s global audience. The webcomic series will continue the story of Edward Kenway, a popular character from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, after fully integrating into the Assassin Brotherhood.
In the new adventure, Kenway will be on a dangerous quest to find Pieces of Eden on the Southeast Asian coast and face new and mysterious adversaries. Noa, a Korean-American descendant of Edward Kenway, will be introduced to fans as a character investigating the Assassin’s past in the present day while searching for information about his family.
The first six episodes will be available exclusively on WEBTOON from April 24, 2023, at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET, with new episodes following each week. The immersive new webcomic series will have three seasons and 150 episodes, retain Assassin’s Creed’s emphasis on historical accuracy, and use the Animus memory-travel machine featured prominently in the video game series.
“We are thrilled to expand the Assassin’s Creed series to WEBTOON thanks to this amazing collaboration with WEBTOON and REDICE STUDIO. We’ve been working hard with the talented folks at REDICE to craft this original Assassin’s Creed Black Flag sequel and hope that existing fans and new readers around the world will enjoy it,”
Julien Fabre, Director of Global TV & Transmedia Business Development, Ubisoft
The Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple collaboration expands WEBTOON’s IP. Other projects they’ve worked on include content partnerships with DC, Archie Comics, Marvel, Riot Games’ VALORANT, KRAFTON’s PUBG Universe, and many more.
Since it first launched in 2007, the “Assassin’s Creed” series has sold more than 200 million games worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling series in video game history.
