Okay, here goes nothing. So, I stumbled upon this thing about Matt Ryan—yeah, the dude who was Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. So, he’s at this convention, signing stuff, being all actor-like, right? And then there’s this fan, and, boom, he kinda drops a hint that they might want to dust off their 2013 pirate game. Now, was this some cheeky tease about a new version? Maybe. But hold that thought.
Turns out, Ubisoft wasn’t thrilled. Like, at all. Apparently, Ryan was not supposed to let that slip, and honestly, he didn’t even realize he had until the video made the rounds online. Classic case of Oops, my bad—except more like, “Oops, now I might get sued.” It’s funny—well, not funny, more like ironic?—because the whole thing started with someone sneakily recording him on their phone. Seriously, who does that?
So, TikTok, yeah, that place. User named kylo_hd659 (totally sounds like a droid from Star Wars) posts this clip from Comic Con Manchester. Ryan’s explaining how he got himself into this mess by being a little too chatty, not realizing he was on the record. And now? Mum’s the word. Or else, legal woes. Yikes.
Ryan even pointed at the camera during this little awkward dance of an exchange, clearly more clued in this time. I guess that’s his way of saying, “Back off, folks.” Ubisoft, maybe not too happy. We’ve nudged them for their take—fingers crossed they spill something juicy.
Oh, and fun fact! Ryan’s been busy post-Assassin’s Creed. He’s been doing his thing as John Constantine all over DC Comics Land. Shows, movies, you name it! And listen, if James Gunn’s reading this—please, bring the guy back. I mean, as a personal favor? Okay, maybe that’s pushing it, but still. A Constantine in the DC movie universe with Ryan? Yes, please.
