Oh boy, so, Matt Ryan—you know, the dude who gave life to Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag—dropped a little nugget at a convention that has fans buzzing. Yeah, that’s right. A few folks are thinking, “Hey, maybe it’s time to dust off that 2013 pirate game.” Why? Well, Ryan, who you might also know as Constantine, sort of hinted at something. Was it a remake? A remaster? Who knows! But suddenly, it’s like everyone’s on this treasure hunt for more info.
Right, so there’s this clip on TikTok, uploaded by kylo_hd659, showing Ryan at Comic Con Manchester. Picture this: Ryan’s chilling at his signing table, and the subject of a Black Flag remaster somehow sneaks into the convo. And Ryan? He’s all candid, talking freely. Then plot twist! He didn’t realize that someone’s filming this whole bit. Classic, right? Now, Ubisoft’s threatening to rain down legal thunder on him for, well, sharing too much—or something like that.
Ryan actually mentions, “The thing is, when that happened, someone was doing this…” gesturing wildly, probably trying to explain how he got caught off guard. “Then the company threatened to sue me. So I say nothing,” he went on. Ha! Seems like he’s got eyes on the camera this time. Maybe this is his way of shouting, “Hey, back off!” to fans fishing for more details. No more sneaky phones, please.
Oh, if you’re wondering about Ryan’s life since his days as a pirate—don’t worry, he’s been busy. Jumped onto the John Constantine train with DC. Live-action, animated, you name it. Legends of Tomorrow and other gigs. PS. James Gunn, if you’re listening, do us all a favor and keep Ryan in the mix if Constantine ever hits the big screen again, will ya? Pretty please?
Anyway—hang on, what was I saying? Oh yeah. Ubisoft, we’re waiting for your statement. Got ears wide open if you decide to spill the beans. Or whatever it is businesses do nowadays when they respond to things like this.
