Assassin’s Creed Actor Says Ubisoft Threatened To Sue Him For Hinting At Black Flag Remaster

Matt Ryan, the actor behind Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag’s primary character Edward Kenway, just lately informed a fan that they might have a reason to replay the 2013 pirate game. The Constantine actor mentioned this at a conference signing, and followers took this as a tease of a potential remake or remaster. Nevertheless, it seems like Ryan wasn’t within the clear to even say this a lot to a fan, as Ubisoft apparently threatened authorized motion towards him after video of the interplay unfold on-line.

TikTok consumer kylo_hd659 posted a video of them assembly with Ryan at Comedian Con Manchester at his signing desk. When the subject of the Black Flag remaster got here up, Ryan defined that he didn’t understand the earlier interplay was being recorded, and now that it’s put him in scorching water with Ubisoft, he’s protecting his mouth shut on the matter.

“The factor is, when that occurred, somebody was doing this and I used to be being very free and open and I didn’t know that they had been really recording me on their cellphone,” Ryan mentioned. “Then the corporate threatened to sue me. So I say nothing.”

Ryan factors to the digital camera throughout this backwards and forwards, so it looks like he’s properly conscious of it this time. I suppose that’s one solution to get the phrase out for individuals to cease asking about one thing you aren’t alleged to be speaking about. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for remark and can replace the story if we hear again.

Whereas Ryan hasn’t returned to Murderer’s Creed or video video games since Black Flag, he’s spent a lot of the last decade since taking part in John Constantine in a number of DC Comics tasks, each in live-action exhibits like Legends of Tomorrow and in animated exhibits and films. Hey James Gunn, if you happen to’re gonna convey the warlock to the new DC Universe movies, you need to convey Ryan again as a private favor to me. Please, and thanks.
