Ubisoft memes about Black Flag remake leaks after actor said company threatened to sue him

Ubisoft's official Assassin's Creed X account has been posting GTA-style memes about a possible Assassin's Creed: Black Flag remake leak, a shift from earlier tensions when the game's lead actor Matt Ryan said the company "threatened to sue me" for discussing the project.

Fans have long treated an unannounced Black Flag remake as an open secret, with hints and spoilers emerging from age rating boards, anonymous sources and comments from the game's cast.

AC fan account Zephryss shared images of a statuette of Black Flag protagonist Edward Kenway found on second-hand site Vinted, writing it "might be the new Edward Kenway figurine for the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake."

The article noted the contrast between the light-hearted social media response and Ryan's earlier claim about legal threats, pointing out that the actor faced a lawyer's letter while other accounts are posting memes about leaks.

Ubisoft has not announced a Black Flag remake, and for now the situation is being driven by leaks, fan finds and social posts rather than an official confirmation.
