Matt Ryan, the actor behind Edward Kenway, sparked headlines after revealing Ubisoft threatened him with legal action. The drama started when he casually hinted at an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake during a fan signing, telling someone they might need to “beat it again.”
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake teased at fan event
During a convention appearance, Ryan joked that fans should get ready to replay Black Flag. The moment, captured on video, spread quickly online. Fans immediately linked it to an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake, a project rumored for years but never confirmed. As the clip gained traction, the buzz only grew stronger.
Silent Hill 2 remake has finally arrived, bringing Konami's seminal psychological horror classic to modern platforms storytelling.
Actor says Ubisoft warned him
Ryan later clarified that he didn’t realize someone had recorded the exchange. He explained that Ubisoft reached out after the footage went viral and warned him about legal consequences. Since then, he has refused to discuss any future Assassin’s Creed titles. That silence, however, has only added fuel to the fire.
Growing talk around Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake
Whispers of an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake first surfaced in 2023, with reports pointing to Ubisoft Singapore’s involvement. Because that team developed the original naval combat systems, fans expect they would handle any revival. Meanwhile, the idea of updated visuals and modern mechanics keeps players excited. Even so, Ubisoft has stayed officially quiet.
Why fans are divided
The response has split the community. On one side, players argue Ubisoft needs to protect its projects through strict contracts. On the other hand, many believe the company went too far by threatening an actor over a lighthearted remark. In either case, the attention surrounding the incident has amplified fan speculation.

Silence makes the noise louder
What started as a slip at a fan event has turned into one of the most talked‑about Assassin’s Creed rumors in years. If it really exists, Ubisoft’s attempt to keep it quiet may have created the opposite effect. Sometimes, the harder a company tries to silence the chatter, the louder the speculation becomes.
