Hey, so here’s this wild thing I stumbled into the other day. Matt Ryan — yeah, the dude who played Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag — apparently dropped a little nugget that has everyone thinking about a shiny new version of the game. This all went down at some convention where, between signing autographs and smiling for selfies, Ryan casually hinted that maybe it’s time to dust off those pirate boots again. Fans? Oh, they ran with it. Like, full-on sprinting with the idea of a potential remake or remaster.
But here’s the kicker: Looks like Ryan was treading on thin ice. Ubisoft, the big dogs behind Assassin’s Creed, weren’t too thrilled with his loose lips. And how do I know this? Well, some TikTok user named kylo_hd659 caught the whole thing on video and tossed it up online for the world to see. Now, Ryan’s in a bit of a pickle — apparently, Ubisoft threw around some legal threats. Drama, right?
Ryan was at Comic Con Manchester, just chilling at his signing table, when he fess’d up about the whole ordeal. He didn’t realize his earlier chat was being recorded, which now has him feeling the heat. Picture it: you’re just vibing, chatting about a game, then bam, you’re learning that someone’s camera-phone-happy behind your back and Ubisoft’s got your name on a lawsuit. I’d zip it too, Matt.
In this clip, Ryan’s pointing at the camera like, “Yo, I see you this time.” Probably his way of saying, “Stop asking already!” It’s like a reverse-mortal kombat — finish me not. Anyway, we pinged Ubisoft for their two cents but nada back so far. If they hit us up, you’ll hear it here first.
Oh, and a side story — Ryan’s not lost to the world of pixels and code. Dude’s been busy embracing his other alter ego, John Constantine in a bunch of DC adventures, from TV to animated flicks. Listen, James Gunn, if you’re out there, do us all a solid and reel Ryan back in for the next DC flicks, alright? It’s a direct plea from me to you. Just saying.
