Edward Kenway Returns In New ‘Assassin’s Creed: Awakening’ Manga

It might be a sour note to touch on the fact that Ubisoft is not releasing an Assassin’s Creed video game this year, but we are strapped in for their live-action Assassin’s Creed film in December. Titan Comics has released a few Assassin’s Creed comics that told two powerful tales from the Assassin’s & Templars point of view.

Titan Comics is now gearing up to release a new series titled “Assassin’s Creed: Awakening”, which will follow fan-favorite Edward Kenway. Unlike Titan’s past Assassin’s Creed comics, Assassin’s: Awakening will be in the vein of a manga series. The series will be written by Yano Takashi, & the artwork will be handled by artist Oiwa Kenji. Assassin’s Creed: Awakening #1 will hit stores on November 9th!

Jump back into the world of Edward Kenway, lead character of the best-selling fan favorite game, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, in this beautiful manga adaptation. Return to the Golden Age of Pirates is this swashbuckling adventure set in the time period featured in the hit Ubisoft video game Assassin’s Creed®: Black Flag!

Assassin‘s Creed: Awakening joins the growing slate of popular comics based in the Assassin‘s Creed universe including: Assassin‘s Creed: Assassin‘s, Assassin‘s Creed: Templars, Assassin‘s Creed: Last Descendants – Locus series as well as the incoming Assassin’s Creed ongoing – which will merge Titan’s Assassin’s Creed: Assassin’s and Templars comics into one, thrilling series in February!
