Matt Ryan Returns for New Black Flag Resynced Story Scenes

He says modern motion capture lets full performances carry into games in a way that is reshaping production.

Overview

  • Matt Ryan said he would love to play Edward Kenway in a live-action project, telling VGC he would jump at the chance while noting no film is announced.
  • Interviews confirm he reprised Kenway for newly written, fully motion-captured scenes and missions created for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced.
  • Ryan praised the additions as character-deepening material rather than filler, addressing fan worries about pacing raised in Push Square’s coverage.
  • Ubisoft set a July 9 release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC after officially unveiling the remake last month, as reported by VGC.
  • Ryan argued the term “voice actor” no longer fits mocap-led game work and recalled first being told in 2013 he was auditioning for a “pirate TV show,” showing how the craft and casting have evolved.
