In a recent incident, Matt Ryan, the voice of Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, revealed that he may face legal repercussions from Ubisoft. The actor admitted that prior comments about a possible remaster of the game have led to a threatened lawsuit from the developer.
Although it’s not uncommon for gaming companies to pursue legal actions, it’s unusual for them to target their own performers. Developers often sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and maintain a careful balance in what they disclose publicly.
During a signing event, Ryan was questioned by a fan about the future of an Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remaster. Initially hesitant, Ryan soon expressed embarrassment over the implications of his past statements, where he hinted at potential remastering during a different interaction. He stated: “I say nothing,” presumably in an effort to avoid any further complications with Ubisoft.
As this situation unfolds, it remains to be seen if Ryan will provide any more insights while he navigates the legal landscape imposed by the developers.
