How can I skip the credits?
During the credits in this game there are some cutscenes to watch, and there's also a sequence where you can control the Jackdaw while listening to a dialogue with one of his family members.
That being said, for the first time in AC history, by popular request, you can skip the credits!! Just hold the regular cutscene skip button. Remember, you can only do this after watching both the aforementioned cutscenes (i.e. the background is black). Tested on PC and Xbox One
In Assassin's Creed IV, you can skip the credits. In PC, hold S to skip credits (E is used to skip other cinematic).
In Assassin's Creed 4 you hold S or space+s to skip the credits.
It's neither S nor E but the down arrow key. If you press some random buttons (I'd suggest pressing every button) on keyboard, the game shows a message in the lower right corner, in mine it showed hold down arrow key.
