Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake Teased by Edward Kenway Actor

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag may soon be sailing back into the spotlight. While Ubisoft remains tight-lipped, the most convincing hint yet has come from none other than Edward Kenway himself-well, his voice actor, Matt Ryan. At a recent fan convention, Ryan gave fans a playful yet telling response when asked about the iconic pirate assassin’s return.

“Have you beaten the game?” Ryan asked, before slyly adding, “Well, you might have to beat it again.” When the fan pushed for confirmation, Ryan gave a knowing wink and followed up with, “Especially this one.

There’s a reason I say that, but I can’t say anything.” Subtle? Not exactly. But fans instantly knew what it meant.

Talk of a Black Flag remake has swirled for years, with various leaks, merchandise hints, and industry murmurs pointing to Ubisoft Singapore-the same studio behind Skull and Bones-as leading the project. If true, this would be a full-blown reimagining, not just a basic visual upgrade. Insiders claim the remake could feature enhanced graphics on par with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, alongside upgraded naval combat, a more immersive world, and even expanded wildlife systems.

Matt Ryan’s coy comments have fans wondering whether he’s recording new lines or even returning for additional story content. That would align with reports suggesting this is more than a touch-up-this is Black Flag reborn.

With no major Assassin’s Creed title expected this holiday season, a Black Flag remake could be the perfect stopgap to keep fans hooked. And honestly, it’s poetic. After 12 years, Black Flag remains the gold standard for pirate adventures-something even Ubisoft’s own pirate-dedicated Skull and Bones couldn’t manage to dethrone.

So, is the wind finally blowing in Kenway’s favor again? If Ryan’s hint is anything to go by, we might be setting sail sooner than expected.
