Ubisoft’s director for global TV and transmedia business development, Julien Fabre, shared the following statement: “We’re thrilled about expanding the Assassin’s Creed series to Webtoon thanks to this amazing collab with Webtoon and Redice Studio. We have been working hard with the talented folks at Redice in order to craft this original Assassin’s Creed Black Flag sequel and hope existing fans as well as new readers around the world will enjoy it.”
