During a recent fan event, Matt Ryan, the voice actor for Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, hinted at the possibility of a remake for the game. Ryan mentioned that fans who have completed the game might need to do so again, but he did not provide any additional details. This comment has sparked speculation among fans about a potential remaster of the beloved title.
Edward Kenway, born in Wales in 1693, is a significant character in the Assassin’s Creed universe, serving as the grandfather of Assassin’s Creed 3’s protagonist, Connor Kenway, and a direct ancestor of Desmond Miles. Initially a Royal Navy privateer, Edward’s journey shifts to piracy, immersing him in the ongoing conflict between the Assassins and the Templars depicted in Black Flag. Throughout his adventures, he becomes a Master Assassin, ultimately meeting his demise at the hands of the Templars in 1735.
Several credible leaks have hinted at a remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, making it a topic of ongoing discussion among fans. The recent comment from Ryan adds to the growing evidence that Ubisoft may be planning to update the game for modern platforms. In a shared video clip, Ryan engaged with a fan during an autograph session, asking if they had completed the game.
His follow-up remark about possibly needing to beat it again fueled excitement and speculation about a remake. Fans have long appreciated Black Flag for its open-world gameplay and engaging naval mechanics, although the graphics and gameplay from its 2013 release may seem outdated to some. A remake would not only bring the game up to modern standards but also allow new fans to experience its popular elements on more advanced hardware.
As anticipation builds, only time will reveal Ubisoft’s plans for the future of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.
