Actor Ralph Ineson, who played the pirate Charles Vane in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, has reacted to the recent revelation that Ubisoft reportedly canceled an American Civil War Assassin's Creed game.
He said on social media, "Once again, f**k off."
A report from Game File said the idea for a game's setting--the American Civil War and the Reconstruction era of the 1860s and 1870s--was deemed too controversial. The report said the game was canceled early in development and would have put players in control of a Black protagonist who escaped enslavement and started a new life away from the South. He is later recruited by the Assassins, returns to the South, and confronts prominent racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan.
It would not have been the first Assassin's Creed game set in North America, as Assassin's Creed III takes place during the American Revolution, set in 18th-century Boston, New York City, and the American frontier. That game generated some controversy in part for its post-launch DLC pack, The Tyranny of King Washington, which takes place in a different reality when George Washington crowns himself king.
Ineson is a veteran English actor with more than 150 credits to his name. Most recently, he played Galactus in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. He's also known for his roles in The Office, Game of Thrones, Chernobyl, The Witch, The Green Knight, and The Creator. In video games, Ineson appeared in Black Flag, Diablo IV, and Final Fantasy XVI.
A remake of Black Flag is reportedly in the works now and set for release in 2026.
