Matt Ryan, the actor behind Assassin’s Creed Black flagEdward Kenway of , has confirmed that he has filmed new scenes for Resynchronized which delve deeper into the personal journey of this character.
Speaking to TechRadar Gaming during a Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resynced preview event in Paris, Ryan discussed the possibility of revisiting the iconic character for the upcoming remake nearly 14 years after the role was first recorded.
Along with improved graphics, modernized controls, and revamped missions and sea voyages, Resynchronized Black Flag will also introduce new story content for several characters, including extended arcs for Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. A new scene with Edward and his wife, Caroline, was also added and was written by Black flagthe original author of Darby McDevitt.
Although Ubisoft has been quite cagey on the details, Ryan revealed that he recorded new motion capture that elevates Kenway’s story by adding more “weight” to the character’s internal conflict.
“What I like about this character is the journey he takes. The character begins with [as a] He is a selfish person, but he has this role that he wants to do good to his wife. He wants a better life,” Ryan explained. “But, you know, he thinks that getting it is through fame and glory and wealth, and at the end of the day, he knows that he’s not getting what he wants from that, but, in pursuing that, it actually takes him on the path to understanding that that’s not the way to get it.
“Then he changes that, he finds his moral compass. And all of that is in the game, is still in the game, and the scenes that we added to it fill it out even more, especially one scene that’s wonderful to play.”
Ryan went on to say that there was one scene in particular that “adds to that conflict,” which could be the new scene between Edward and Caroline.
“It was a great scene because it just gives more weight to the conflict that he had earlier, you know,” Ryan teased.
In the same interview, Ryan described his return to the role “like wearing an old friend’s jacket” and confirmed that he had to make “slight adjustments” as his voice now sounds a little lower than it did almost 14 years ago.
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resynced is set to launch on July 9 for PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.
