We're back on the high seas for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced this coming July, putting us back in the boots of one Edward Kearney in his quest for treasure. Naturally, he gets to do all the killing you've come to expect, but he's not quite the hero prior protagonists are, at least at the start, and the devs worked to enhance those aspects of his journey.
Indeed, when Black Flag kicks off, Edward's doing it all for the money, never mind to defeat the Templars, but over the course of the game, he becomes more like his forebears in Desmond and Connor.
