Will Ubisoft’s New Video Game-Series Adaptation Project Lay the Groundwork for the Much-Awaited Title, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage?

Ubisoft is making some big moves lately. Firstly, they had their Ubisoft+ subscription available on Xbox. Now one of their best video game is getting adapted into a comic book series. And, this game is none other than Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. But The French video game publishers already have many Assassin’s Creed projects lined up.

This year a new game called AC Mirage would be added to this renowned video game series. Additionally, three more games codenamed Jade, Hexe, and Red are in development. Also, a live-action Netflix adaptation is in the plans. So, now the question that arises is if this comic book adaptation has any connection to these future AC projects.

Assassin’s Creed announces their new comic book series

Ubisoft recently revealed a comic series titled Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple. This upcoming series will be released on the famous digital comic site called WebToon. Further, this upcoming webcomic will revolve around the privateer-turned-pirate-turned-assassin, Edward Kenway.

Assassin’s Creed: Forgotten Temple will act as a sequel to the 2013-released Black Flag, featuring Edward’s new adventure. It will be released on April 24, at 5 pm PT. There are plans for three seasons of this webcomic series, consisting of a total of 150 episodes. So, it seems this comic is going to be around for a while.

Edward is possibly one of the most beloved characters in the series after the likes of Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Altair Ibn-LaʼAhad. So fans were always excited to know more about this assassin, especially because of his connection to another great assassin and a templar master. He was the father of Haytham Kenway and grandfather of Connor Kenway.

How will Forgotten Temple affect the future of this game series?

It is known that every Assassin’s Creed media is connected with each other. Even the 2016-released movie featuring Michael Fassbender is connected to this series. So, it wouldn’t be surprising that Forgotten Temple would set some events for Mirage and the other upcoming AC games.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage would be taking place before the events of Valhalla, which happened even before the ventures in Black Flag. So, there is a huge time gap between Mirage and Forgotten Temple. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be any connection. There is a possibility that Mirage would reveal a new Isu artifact, which we might get to see in this upcoming webcomic.
