Even though nothing has been officially confirmed by Ubisoft yet, more and more signs in the sky and on earth suggest that work on a refreshed version of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag is underway.

Fans' attention was once again drawn to a statement by Matt Ryan, the actor who played Edward Kenway, the main character in Black Flag. The Welsh actor had previously teased the players, suggesting that something might be going on. However, the topic has now resurfaced due to a video that was released on TikTok (via InsiderGaming).

In the video, we see Ryan signing gadgets for fans. At some point, someone directly asks him, is a remaster/remake of Black Flag being made? The actor responds evasively: "I don't know, man," but later in the conversation, he revealed something much more interesting.

Ryan recalled the unfortunate situation that I mentioned at the beginning.As it turns out, Ubisoft wasn't happy about the earlier "blunder" and threatened Ryan with a lawsuit.

Well, the thing is that when it happened, someone was doing this [secretly filming Ryan] and I was being very free and open. But I didn’t know that they actually were recording me on their phone. Then the company [presumably Ubisoft] threatened to sue me. Yeah, so I say nothing, explained the actor.

Although Matt Ryan is currently trying to avoid a clear answer, his words speak for themselves. If you add the recent hints from Ubisoft and the announcements of refreshing some classic Assassin's Creed games, it's pretty clear that a Black Flag remaster is not a matter of "if," but rather "when."
