Voice Actor for Edward Kenway Teases Assassin’s Creed 4 Remake

Alright, so picture this: I’m at a convention — meandering through the madness, you know? — and I overhear this dude, Matt Ryan (yeah, the voice of Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag). Anyway, he’s chatting with fans, just casual-like, and suddenly hints that maybe, just maybe, there’s a remake on the horizon. Wild, right? He’s all, “You might have to beat the game again,” and then leaves us dangling. Cryptic much? I dunno, but now I’m itching to replay and see what’s up.

Who is this guy Kenway, you ask? Ah, the history’s fuzzy but stay with me — Welsh dude, 1693 — turns pirate, gets tangled up in this epic Assassin vs. Templar brouhaha. Being the grandad of Connor from AC3, he’s got a killer backstory. Quote machine, that guy. Ends up a Master Assassin before he bites it in 1735. Not too shabby for a pirate with a conscience, eh?

Oh, right, there’s this thing about a clip (courtesy of SuperDropKick17) of Ryan at some Nightmare Weekend. Fan interaction goes viral — well, sorta — and it’s like, has Ubisoft been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, or what? Metaphorically, I mean. No official peep from them about a remake yet, so we’re all just grasping at straws, imagining pirate adventures in 4K. Sweet lore and shiny pixels, anyone?

Fans, gotta love ’em, they’re losing it over a shiny, updated Black Flag. I must admit, waving around a cutlass in high def? Count me in. Honestly, the 2013 version feels a bit archaic now, like playing Pong on a toaster. But seriously, with today’s tech? Sky’s the limit. Or sea? (I’m all tangled up in pirate metaphors now, oops.)

And let’s not forget the naval battles. Epic waves, booming cannons — I can practically smell the saltwater. Black Flag nailed it back in the day, and imagine what they could do now. So, yeah, maybe it’s all just whispers on the wind, but hey, a pirate can dream, right? Here’s to hoping Ubisoft spills the beans sooner rather than later.
