The original game is among the Assassin’s Creed franchise’s best sellers, with millions of copies sold worldwide, and was beloved by fans.
Although fictional, the game stars real characters such as the infamous English pirate Blackbeard, and other pirates including Mary Read and Anne Bonny.
Before production took place, Ryan said Kenway’s original northern England backstory and accent were changed to match his Welsh accent, as the team preferred it.
He added: “To be revisiting this role 13 or 14 years on is quite a treat.
“It’s been quite the experience. I’m excited for all of the players who have played the games before, and all the people to discover it, to jump in.”
