Ubisoft blog update - Major players: Edward Kenway
What kind of research went into preparing for the role of Edward Kenway? What did Joy Division have to do with the casting process? How tall is he? These are just a few of the things we discussed when we spoke with Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag’s Lead Writer Darby McDevitt as well as the voice of Edward Kenway himself, Matt Ryan.
Edward is not the kind of Assassin you’re used to, as you’re likely learning if you’ve already started the game. He’s brash and selfish. He’s a dirty fighter. And he has no real desire to give up his ways to follow the Creed (much to the chagrin of other Assassins). It’s all these things that make him one of the most compelling characters in the series. Darby and Matt share their unique insights into what makes Edward so special, revealing a few exclusive tidbits along the way.
