    As a Black person, I appreciate the representation of Yasuke as the main character in the game. However, I can't help but recognize the strategic move by Ubisoft to incorporate their awareness into the game by featuring a historical figure. While I understand there's also a Japanese woman protagonist, leaked concept art initially suggested a Japanese man as the main character. The decision to pivot to Yasuke speaks volumes about their commitment to diversity and inclusion within the Assassin's Creed universe.

    Personally, it's not really the fact that it's Yasuke. It's the fact that one of the main playable characters is a historical figure in general. In the past, we played as original characters set during that time period, which also allowed us to view history from an unbiased perspective and give more freedom in terms of story.
    Honestly, what really pisses me off is that it seems Ubisoft is afraid of having players play as female protagonists. In AC, it's either dual protagonists with one male/one female. Or a set protagonist that is male. Granted, this is the same company whose ceo said: "women don't sell"
    Also, it's Ubisoft. It's going to be mid at best.

    Since when are we playing real historical people in assassin's creed? I'd love to see Yasuke as an ally but not as the character I play. It's not about historical accuracy it's not about black people (I'm african from Burkina Faso). It feels like they are doing that just because they want to make people talk
    Let's be honest if they really wanted to do something with African culture they would do an assassin's creed in the kingdom of Dahomey era with the king Béhanzin and his amazones or in the Kingdom of Shaka Zoulou and much more. This is what I call inclusion not all these things they are doing nowadays

    The reason why I'm not happy with this choice is because this is our first AC game in feudal Japan, I think they should've stuck a Japanese mc ( yesI know that naoe is japanease but she's a ninja, I'm talking about the samurai) I have no problem with Yasuke being an important character in the story, and then giving him his own game in the future like with basim, but a proper sequel.

    A problem I have with it is that why is this the one assassin creed game we play as an historical figure, when all the rest, we played as a ficitonal character that plays around these historical figures?
    It just seems odd when you look more into it and when you think more and more about it. Not only that, ubisoft tried to explain that to have these two characters playable allows for those characters to exceeds in area's they can't do.
    That right there doesn't make sense in my opinion. Because all the version of assassins can be everything: from steathly to a straight fighter doesn't matter the gender too, its so ficitonal that any assassins can go toe to toe with everyone by themselves. To have Yasuke as playable just only hinders the game itself, because people would want to play it for the assassin, not a samerai who happens to be black.
    If anything, ghost of tushima is a game where you play as a samerai that also has him become a shinboi. It just seems like ubisoft is again taking ideas from other games like witcher.
    That's where the real problem lies with Yasuke for me. Ubi doesn't give a good reason to play this character, and only feels like they're doing it because he's a black character and to win some browine points from it.
    Could he be an interesting character? Maybe, if they don't rush the story. And if i'm being honest, this only shows more that this game storywise will get screw again. The game is gonna have a hard time balancing these two character; what with explaining lore, their character, motivation, and who they'll be facing together.
    And if its anything to go by their track record, assassin creed games story wise hasn't been good in sometime.

    I get what you’re saying, but I feel that people wanting to play a Japanese protagonist on a Japan AC shouldn’t be treated as a controversial opinion.
    And tbh, everyone knows exactly why they picked Yasuke, the main reason he’s even know at all, he’s a black man in Japan.
    This is more baffling when previous protagonists were largely from the region the game setting took in, and this is an obvious outlier.
    Also apparently some of the devs have ties to SBI and that’s just a mayor red flag for the overall quality of the game’s writing.
    And yeah like you said, the monetization and pay to win isn’t doing any favors for the game.
    I personally think Yasuke would fit better for a side character you can do some quests with, but an assassin? Kinda questionable when he’s well, a VERY tall black man amongst Japanese, he sticks out like a sore thumb and would be easily recognizable.
    I also heard from comments about how the structures of buildings resemble Chinese architecture rather than Japanese so that’s a big L.

    Historical accuracy is not the issue; it's how this game will work narratively. The whole AC story is about playing through the genetic memory of specific ancestors. The entire premise of the games is experiencing the genetic memories of a person of the past via the Animus.
    I have no issue with Yasuke being fictionalized, but just hoping they "make a good story" is not enough. Having Yasuke as a character retcons how Assassin's Creed has always told its stories. I've played nearly every Assassin's Creed game.

      @@shinobimsh5687 True. There have been many retcons but usually well-grounded ones, nothing arbitrary. For instance, Oda Nobunaga was about to ally with the Assassins before he was assassinated. But the trailer outright told us that Yasuke will help Naoe liberate Japan from the "oppressive unification". There is no Templar iconography so Yasuke is going against Oda? Either Yasuke assassinates a corrupted Oda and is forced to leave Japan, or Yasuke doesn't leave Japan and fights against Toyotomi Hideyoshi who persecuted Christians during his reign.
      That said, I guess I am wrong when saying the animus needs specific genes. As long as the company Abstergo has DNA they can sequence its memories. But the same issue remains; How are we getting the DNA of both Yasuke and Naoe to sequence their memories?
      Only one answer, Yasuke, and Naoe have a kid, which is possibly what Ubisoft meant when they noted that players can explore multiple romance options. Or it could just be rainbow stuff. Either way, Ubisoft is trying to give us a fish out the water story but it's coming off as another savior trope.

There are dozens of far more recognized, and far more revered, figures they could've used as a lead, and if Yasuke was a certified badass that actually DID make a mark in history, I'd be on board. But we only got him because he's black, and that's supposed to somehow convince me to buy this game. Which I won't, but, still. Could've been someone way cooler like Miyamoto Musashi, Hattori Hanzō with a built-in clan of assassins, or Tomoe Gozen if you wanted to diversify the cast, but in a game with a population that's almost 100% Japanese, this just ain't it chief.

    What is really happening with assassin's creed? Ubisoft just continues to keep taking Ls with each stupid decision here.
    Now regarding the yasuke decision, yes he did definitely exist, he did definitely make weapons for the clan but however it's stated that there wasn't any known info of yasuke being a samurai. So in my take i. Agree with both those who say yasuke was not a samurai. And those who think he was ( considering its a fictional game)
    But still, if we are set in fuedal Japan here, wouldn't it be cool if we could both have male and female Japanese assassin options here.
    If ubisoft wanted to make a black assassin, then im. Definitely down for it. In fact they should have definitely made an assassin's creed in Africa ( yes they did Egypt before but still) it would be Aweosme to see some ancient African assassin history here. Sad ubisoft would not make it cause they probably might be the same people that think killing zombies in resident evil 5 was racist ( even though the games setting was in Africa?? 🤦‍♂️)

    Because from the 1950s-1970s at least there were half-hearted efforts to seem inclusive by throwing in a token black character. By the 90s and early 2000s that seemed to have been obliterated as black folks were more visible across t.v., films, video games, and animation than in prior decades. Now it seems Hollywood and the gaming industry wants to walk that back and treat us like token novelties.
    And to treat Yasuke, a guy who served in Nobunaga's army as a token novelty in the Assassin's Creed series? Pardon my xenophobia, but:" Those French Frogs must be outside their dang minds!" Yasuke deserves better in my opinion than to be shoe-horned into this title for brownie points.

    I remember back when this game was called Red, it was first rumored that there would be a black samurai (it being Yasuke was not confirmed yet).

    No Demi. The reason why people are mad is because Ubisoft refuse to make Assassin's Creed what used to be. You know about the conflict between the Assassins and Templars. This is why Origins remains the only one of the RPG games that is Loved by the old fans. It has nothing to do whit racism man. If that was the issue, then Adewale and Bayke would be hated by all.

    It’s Ubisoft we all hate them but I think people might say “Why did they need to pick Yasuke Specifically?”
    I don’t care about that but what I will say is a hot take and that is Templars carried the franchise more than assassin did.
    Without chzere, Rodrigo would Ezio be a popular as he was?
    Without Charles Lee, HAYTHAM KENWAY would AC 3 have Connor not become an assassin or understand the views of the templars?
    Without Shay Cormac would Arno ever know his father was an assassin while he was alive? Would he find out Elise was ever a Templar herself?
    They need to bring templars back give HAYTHAM his own game, Shay Vs Arno and Connor game.

    Here's why I don't like Yasuke as the playable character. Throughout AC we've played as characters that hid within the shadows of history that MET historical figures in their journeys.
    If you were another character that met Yasuke, then I'd have zero issues. You can still argue about what might have happened that history didn't record, lord knows AC has done a lot of that, but it would've worked better for me. Simple as that.

    My thing is that they subverted expectations on what every AC fan wanted from a Feudal Japan AC game but instead, we’re getting revisionism for the sake of diversity while simultaneously throwing out any key historical figures from that time. I don’t have an issue with Yasuke, I actually like the idea of him being in the game but not as the main male protagonist over a Japanese male protagonist. Kinda odd to do that when they could’ve used this as a chance to represent Japanese culture and history. It’s odd for Yasuke to be the first AC protagonist to be an actual historical figure as well but that’s just me. I see through it all and know what they’re doing but oh well. Imma let the gameplay determine if I buy this or not because if it’s classic AC gameplay, I’ll do it.

    Here's the thing. And this is as far as i know about this yasuke dude. He aint even a samurai. he's a retainer. And that is from actual history. Sure, you can say that it doesn't matter cuz of how historically inaccurate assassins creed is throughout the franchise. Same time, considering the existence of Sweet Baby Inc. and other shit related to them affecting video games for the past decade along with ESG and DEI horseshit, i can understand people's eyebrow raising. It aint about if the character is black or a woman, or anything like that. it's the reason behind it that matters. If its a creative decision with no strings attached thrn that's all well and good. But if its done because of the Sweet baby inc/ESG/DEI BS, and the "diverse" character turns out to be poorly written and nothing more than a political mouthpiece then its gonna be a problem.

    Well, (1)... the main lead character in ACS is Naoe, she the one narrating and leading the story and is the assassin as a NINJA thus makes her the primary lead character in ACS.
    (2)...Naoe is a PLAYABLE JAPANESE Character so if nobody wants to play as an Afr!kan descent Samurai Yasuke then you have the option to play as a local native Japanese character as a Ninja in ACS.
    (3)... There are VERY MANY Samurai games across the last 30years and beyond with playable real life historical Japanese samurais. For example the SAMURAI WARRIORS 1-5 games series where part 5 has over 18 playable real life historical Japanese characters ( INCLUDING YASUKE as a samurai), Way of the Samurai game series, Sengoku Basara game series, Rise of the Ronin, etc and these games were Made in Japan, by Japanese folks from a Japanese game studio. Please feel free to check and verify this YOURSELF.
    (4)... Where was all this harsh demands for historical accuracy for Shogun tv series, Ipman movies and NIOH games?... And for Prince Vlad Tepes Dracula's potrayals as a vampire in Castlevania and across media of the last 50years? ...These are just some examples. There are very many others.
    (5)... HISTORICAL FICTION GENRE has been a part of entertainment media for over 70years where either fictional characters are placed in real world historical events and/or real historical people are placed in fictional narratives or both. How come its suddenly a problem when its Yasuke because he is portrayed as an Afr!kan descent Samurai?!
    (6) .... Notice how nobody is complaining about Naoe being a fictional daughter of legendary Real life Shinobi Ninja Fujibayashi Nagato. He only had a son, not a daughter but everybody are all focused on attacking Yasuke. Nobody is demanding historical accuracy for Fujibayashi Nagato's child. All the focus of h4t€ is on Yasuke.

    I think companies like Ubisoft handle their diverse characters with the grace and subtlety of a rhinoceros on roller skates. They claim they’re being diverse, but they default to calling everyone racist, yet they sometimes put stereotypes on their diverse characters in their quest to be PC. So the companies have their own racism that they won’t admit they have or are too blind to see. The game is too expensive for my blood, and I generally avoid buying stuff that the developers or the distributors keep insulting their audience over and over again as constantly insulting your audience is just appalling. They could have remained professional through all the negative comments they get from audiences, but they end up sinking to that level. To me, that’s what kills a product.

Ubi has also never made a real person the mc because you always interacted with history from the shadows, not as a part of it.
    While ac was never about historically accurate stories, the characters should be accurate in the way that they are an accurate portrayal but they directly interact with the game in interesting ways (at least it has always been this way) and making Yasuke a legendary samurai breaks this theme because we don’t know enough about him.
    They also made a lot of cultural mistakes which I think are really disrespectful.

Assassins are society outcast, just the same as Connor (AC3) a native american assassin during the American revolution. But this has open my eyes to the gaming community, really thought they were different.

    After I played Ghost of Tsushima and got the plat, I was left with peace. I need Ubisoft to realize that if they are going to raise their prices like that. They should be goty worthy. I genuinely don't remember the last time they made a goty worthy game.

    Sadly, with all this thing, it's even hard to explain the point of why i don't like it. I can say "i don't like the duo dynamic, Ubisoft barely knows how to evolve one character recently, can you imagine two? I don't like the idea of the player controling the real historical figure, but thats more a moral thing of mine than really wrong. For last, i'm tired of ubisoft's recipe of hey you fight ok, we are resistence now".
    But nah, bros just read it and "It's because hes black, isn't?"
    Dude, i'm not even white 💀

    The reason why people doesn't like the game is not because it isn't "historically accurate" i mean AC games are already inaccurate in the first place with it's fictional main characters making real historical events happen, triggering historical events etc. the reason why people hate the game is because Ubisoft is pushing their agenda on it. just like what they are doing to their other games. and it leads to bad writing. now I don't hate yasuke, but ubisoft could've easily picked hundreds if not thousands of real historical samurai warriors in history to represent in their game set on feudal japan!
