Assassin’s Creed Actor Claims Ubisoft Threatened Legal Action Over Black Flag Remaster Hint

So I bumped into this tidbit recently, and it’s kinda wild. Maybe it’s not, but hear me out. Matt Ryan, you know, the dude who gave life to Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, casually dropped a bombshell at — where else — a fan convention. This was in Manchester, and it somehow spiraled into this big deal. I mean, he hinted fans might want to revisit that swashbuckling world from 2013, and everyone’s thinking: remake or remaster, maybe? But what’s bonkers is that Ubisoft apparently got wind of this and, oh boy, their legal team wasn’t happy. Imagine being Matt and getting a lawyerly “shush” letter. Yikes.

And then, TikTok gets involved. Because of course it does, right? Some user, kylo_hd659, shared a clip from the comic con — this grainy, arm’s-length recording of Ryan chatting about Black Flag. He seemed chill, like, “Oh, whoops, didn’t spot you sneaky recorders.” And now he’s zipped up about it. He said something like, “Yeah, I was just vibing, didn’t realize someone was catching this all on their phone,” kinda vibe. Ubisoft apparently wasn’t amused. Legal action? A bit harsh, in my humble opinion.

Ryan was all about pointing out the camera too. Almost like, “Hey, folks, see this? Let’s not repeat last time’s little oopsie.” Kind of a funny way to handle fans who keep poking for info. We tried poking Ubisoft ourselves for their side of the story. No juicy details just yet, but fingers crossed we hear something soon.

Now, here’s a twist — Ryan hasn’t donned his pirate coat for Assassin’s Creed since forever, right? But he’s been keeping busy as John Constantine. The guy’s all over the DC map! Maybe James Gunn could give him a ring and pull him into the new DC Universe. Just throwing it out there, as a favor if you will.

And that’s it, really. Just a slice of randomness from the con chaos. Ain’t life unpredictable?
