074 | 17 September 2024 | Noa succumbs to the Bleeding Effect, gaining the skills of different Assassins and going on a rampage aboard the Exitus. Meanwhile, the data from Edward's memories reveals the amulet's location near the Strait of Malacca, where the SS Ourang Medan vanished during Abstergo's early years. Sei calls her superiors, who order Noa's termination, believing he has outlived his usefulness. However, Sei disagrees and is contacted by a hacking syndicate who offer her a deal. |

However, during their search, Noa and Yuki are separated and the former stumbles onto a moray eel nest. |

In April 2021, the new webtoon was announced alongside eight other future Assassin's Creed projects.

It would also be part of the new Ubisoft collection of 'Chronicles', new adventures featuring familiar faces.[2] Ubisoft's official site notes that the webtoon will contain 3 seasons of 50 episodes.[3]
On 12 April 2023, the webtoon's title was officially revealed to be Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple and the first 6 episodes out of 150 were announced to release on 24 April.[5] While users could gain early access to read episodes 2–6 by paying a 50¢ fee for each installment, the issues would also release for free to the public every Tuesday.
