Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: Kotaku reports scrapped epilogue with Edward and Miko
Kotaku says a dataminer found a half-finished scrapped cutscene in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, later removed after a takedown claim.
- The scene reportedly shows Edward Kenway, Miko, and later Adéwalé, with the line “The king is dead.”
- According to the report, the video was later removed after a copyright strike or takedown claim; that has not been independently confirmed.
What happened
Kotaku says an unused cutscene has surfaced in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced that may have been intended as an epilogue, or a scrapped epilogue. In the scene description, Edward Kenway speaks with a character named Miko, before Adéwalé later appears.
The publication links the find to a possible reference to an Assassin’s Creed III prequel. That interpretation remains speculative, since the information provided does not include direct confirmation from Ubisoft that the scene was meant as a teaser.
Kotaku also cites the line “The king is dead.” as part of the scene. In addition, the source says the video containing the material was no longer available after publication because of a copyright strike or takedown claim. An embedded post from Totocko97 says the video was “taken down by Ubisoft itself,” but that also remains unconfirmed in the provided sources.
Timeline
1722 — Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced reportedly ends in this year, according to the provided information.
1735 — Freedom Cry begins in this year, and Edward Kenway canonically dies in the same year.
12 October 2026 — Kotaku publishes its report about the alleged datamine and the scrapped cutscene.
12 October 2026 — In a tweet from Totocko97, the video is said to have been removed by Ubisoft itself.
Background
The scene’s timing is being discussed alongside the Assassin’s Creed timeline. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced ends in 1722, while Freedom Cry begins in 1735. That is also the year Edward Kenway canonically dies, which explains the speculation around a possible bridge between the stories.
Kotaku identifies Miko as a co-founder of the British Brotherhood of Assassins and as a character who appears mainly in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. That mix of characters and dates forms the basis for the interpretation that the cutscene may have been pointing toward later Assassin’s Creed stories.
