Ubisoft being neo-colonialist and cultural appropriarion in one game. Sure, make a game in Japan and dont use a Japanese man as the main, instead use a black servant (he was a real dude) and make him a Samurai (which is was not) just to please DEI. Arent Asians, Japanese, enough? No, Ubisoft had to be racist toward them.
This game is incredibly racist. The main character in a Japanese setting can’t even be a Japanese man, but is instead black? Every single incidence of Assassin’s Creed has culture and race appropriate characters, but this one. A serious slap in the face to Asian men everywhere. This is another in a long history of race swapping Asian men out for others. But nowadays, they just rewrite the characters, such as in Netflix’s Three Body Problem, to try to make it seem less problematic. And no Yasuke was never a Samurai.

Question is, will it be another “AAAA” title that disappoints almost immediately?
Assassin’s greed
Hope next they’ll make a fast and furious crossover
Diving deep into Japanese culture by having a non Japanese man be the main character. Lol
Made movie ab. Japan. Put African guy there.
Would it be possible to play only as a shinobi?
Wouldn’t play as a “black samurai” out of spite.
Don’t you guys just LOVE DEI? It’s so great. We love other people ruining what could’ve been subpar games.
