Edward Kenway's Voice Actor Faced Ubisoft's Wrath Over Black Flag Remake Tease
Edward Kenway Voice Actor Almost Walked the Plank!
Wow, talk about a close shave! It seems like Ubisoft wasn't too happy with the voice actor for Edward Kenway, the swashbuckling star of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, dropping hints about a possible remake. Apparently, things got pretty serious, with the actor alleging that Ubisoft threatened legal action! Can you believe it?
Look, I get it. Companies want to control the flow of information, especially when it comes to big announcements. But threatening to sue someone for a little tease? That seems a bit extreme, don't you think? It makes you wonder just how far along this supposed remake actually is. Is it just a twinkle in a developer's eye, or is it further in development than we think? I would love to replay this amazing game with enhanced graphics. Black Flag captured that pirate fantasy so well, and the gameplay was incredibly addictive!
Of course, this is all based on what the voice actor is saying. We haven't heard Ubisoft's side of the story yet. Maybe there's more to it than we know. Maybe he revealed confidential information that could be very damaging for the company - which is very unlikely. But regardless, it definitely adds fuel to the fire of the Black Flag remake rumors. Every time something like this happens, the hype train gets a fresh coat of paint and a new head of steam.
So, what does this all mean? Well, if you're a fan of pirates and Assassin's Creed, keep your fingers crossed! Where there's smoke, there's usually fire, and all this buzz about a Black Flag remake might just mean we'll be hoisting the sails and searching for treasures in the Caribbean before too long. And maybe, just maybe, Ubisoft will learn to take a chill pill when it comes to rumors. A little mystery can be a good thing, right? I mean, wouldn't it be awesome if they just surprise-announced it at the next big gaming event? Let's hope that a Black Flag remake becomes reality - and without any more legal battles!
