The cutscene takes place in a Caribbean cove called Great Inagua, where the main character Edward Kenway awaits the arrival of his daughter. Sad music plays along with lyrics being sung, reflecting Edward's mood of sadness over the death of his wife but also happiness at having survived his adventures. Production techniques like pirates laughing and singing, waves crashing, and seagulls squawking were likely used to establish the setting and mood of the ending scene.
