“I think we were actually looking back at Assassin’s Creed Revelations and Assassin’s Creed 3, both of which had kind of gone towards a more linear Uncharted style of experience. We wanted to go back to Assassin’s Creed 1/Assasson’s Creed 2 style open-ended assassinations, so even before we saw the result of what Assassin’s Creed 3 was doing, we just knew this was a philosophy we wanted to follow.”
– Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag lead writer Darby McDevitt
Darby also talked about the character of Edward Kenway, saying he’s perhaps a bit more like Ezio (ACII, Revelations) than Connor (ACIII) in terms of personality, but ultimately he’s different than any other characters in the franchise.
