There are a lot of poorly kept secrets in the gaming world, but it's still rare for an unannounced game to have been so thoroughly leaked that even its own publisher is willing to acknowledge the rumors. Amid mountains of reports about the Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake, even Ubisoft seems exhausted of playing coy, and has responded to the latest rumor with a cheeky Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas meme.
This week, an Edward Kenway figure seemingly tied to the new version Black Flag started to make the rounds online. It rapidly spread across the Assassin's Creed fandom on Twitter, prompting a response from the official account of the series: a screenshot of CJ's famous line, "ah shit, here we go again," from the opening of GTA: San Andreas.
