Okay, so here’s this wild tale about Matt Ryan. You know, the guy who gave life to Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag? Yeah, him. So, Ryan tosses this cryptic bone to a fan, maybe at some Comic Con—Manchester, was it?—and suddenly, the gaming world is buzzing like a hive of bees ready to sting. Picture this: Ryan drops a hint—no, more like a murmur—about the game, perhaps a remake, maybe a remaster. Who knows? But, in a twist that could only belong in a soap opera or a bad YA novel (depends on your stance there), Ubisoft’s legal eagles dive in, claws out. Drama, drama, drama.
And here’s the thing. Some clever soul (or maybe just plain curious) captures this moment on their phone. Classic move, right? TikTok user kylo_hd659 serves the footage hot off the internet press, showing Ryan caught in what we can generously call a “moment”. Like he’s all chill, explaining how he got snagged on film. Ubisoft apparently didn’t find this funny, threatening to sue—yeah, actual lawsuit vibes for real! So now, Ryan’s zipped up tight, sworn to silence like he’s hiding secret state documents (or just keeping his paycheck safe).
During this awkward dance of words and potential subpoenas, Ryan kind of waves at the camera, like he’s locked eyes with the lens. Imagine him in a Western, all “Look at me now.” Maybe he’s hoping folks get the hint. Stop asking questions before more lawyers with sharp suits and briefcases show up at his door.
Anyway, or maybe not anyway, what’s wild is Ryan’s shift from digital pirates to mystical warlocks. He’s been John Constantine all over the DC universe. Live-action, animation, you name it. Sort of begs the question, James Gunn, are you listening? How about a little Constantine magic, Matt Ryan-style, in your next DC blockbuster? Hey, just a fan throwing it out into the universe.
Who knows, maybe this Assassin’s Creed saga will loop back around. Or maybe it’ll disappear into the fog, like pirate ships sailing into the horizon. Wherever this tale goes, keep an eye out.
