My favorite part is all the lily white progressive neck beards (male, female, and zir) lecturing the pissed off Japanese about their own history.


Looks like everyone over in Japan loved the trailer...

This is the assassins creed setting that people have demanded incessantly for a decade plus and Ubisoft DEIs it up resulting in at least half the market in the west and probably 90% of the market in the east ignoring it. This is pure comedy.

You seem really supportive of creating history for the sake of dei

Ubisoft's "Japanese Historical Expert" they used for this gane is Sachi Schmidt-Hori. She's a gender studies "expert" and wrote books on pre-17th Century man-boy romantic relationships in Japanese culture.

I couldn't possibly make this up.

In their mind, the history of western civ has left out anything and everything having to do with minorities so this is just correcting that.

There were TONS of black samurai back then, as well as black European kinds and queens, etc but whitey has written them out of history books.

Unsurprisingly, there were no white African tribal leaders or white slaves traded to America. History books got all of that right

I saw the leak and laughed so hard because I knew the gamers were going to lose their shite, ,predictably.


It wouldn't surprise me if Japan bans this game from even being released in that country. Won't matter either way as no one in Japan will be buying it.

I'll play it if it ever hits Game Pass. That's a huge change for me as I have purchased a physical copy of every mainline Assassin's Creed game.

The only black "samurai" in history wasn't a samurai at all and never fought in a battle. LINK

Regardless, playing as a black assassin in Japan makes no sense. He can't blend in. It doesn't fit Assassin's Creed.

He was a retainer, NEVER a Samurai you f'ing ignorant fool. He carried weapons around and was a circus display for the Japanese. This is the we wuzzery that people can't stand. It's a lie perpetuated by insecure black people called afrocentrists. They are culture vultures, plain and simple. I hope this game shits the bed in spectacular fashion.

They also think Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Carthaginians were all black. Greeks traveled to black Egypt to learn all their mathematics, philosophy, etc. They didn't know anything about any of those subjects until they were taught by the black Egyptians.

Oh, and the Moors (black of course) single-handedly pulled Europe out of the dark ages.

It's fricking hilarious.

It’s sort of an insane character choice.

1. He doesn’t blend in, even in a assissin’s hood the guy was probably a head taller and if anyone saw skin tone it would stand out

2. he was the vassal of a major lord. The only black guy was pretty well known. how can he also be an assassin?

Don’t let logic get in the way of a virtue signal. Ubisoft wants that ESG cash.

they’ve always been woke but made pretty good games.

maybe they’re trying to distinguish themselves from ghost of Tsushima who absolutely beat them to the chase of making an open world assassin game in Japan

The girl is going to be the stealth based character and black dude will be combat focused, you won’t be sneaking around with him.
