It's really ironic that journalists slammed Sucker Punch for making a historical Japanese game and Japanese loved. But they'll praise this crap by Ubislop but the Japanese hate it.
@@illuminatedperspectives2894: Witcher is a fictional story, while this is at least historically based. And the bare minimum would be to at least stick with real history.
@isaiahwelch8066 while the story of the witcher is fiction, there is PLENTY of real world polish heritage in the game. As long as it makes sense I honestly don't care what the protagonist looks like as long and they're not pandering
@@79Dtrain : Then don't make the Witcher a black guy, since black people didn't exist anywhere near Poland until after the Middle Ages. Which means everybody in The Witcher should be white. But I'm not holding out hope for that, given a planned TV series or video game turned a white Viking king into a black woman queen of the Vikings...something that NEVER HAPPENED, and as someone of Viking descent, pisses me off.
Sucker Punch made a better Japanese AC game with Ghost of Tsushima than Ubisoft ever could. The stealth, the combat, the music, the customization, the visuals, everything about that game is awesome.
No it was shovel ware, an Assassins creed shovel ware clone done worse than the mainlines. Stop trying to prop up Sony's shovel ware slop that rips off other games poorly with worse game play. It was a garbage game.
Its not an assassin game it’s way better than anything Ubisoft has and will ever make you can enjoying as it is without forcing to be apart of the AC franchise
Damn right it just released on PC today already have it installed and ready for me to get home to enjoy a better assassins creed game than assassins creed has been for the past decade
Good, as they should. The Japanese have every right to hate Assassins Creed: Shadows. Just like when Egyptians overwhelmingly hated Netflix' "Queen Cleopatra".
@@illuminatedperspectives2894 no one is mad at this because dude was black lol, people are mad because the usual people are trying to make them believe some fan fiction is IRL history
The worst part here is Wikipedia actually rewriting historical events to, presumably, support a video game. Had already lost hope for the site, but this was still shocking to hear.
It's about hiss-toricaI re-visionism using hoIIy-wood and p0p-culture as pr0p-aganda. Eventually a Iie becomes the truth. Understand what else has been re--written and re--visioned. Understand who w0n t he w4r.
You can also do like a 2 minute google search to find pretty much the same across many other websites that recognise yasuke as samurai or at least depicted as some kind of warrior that was under the wing of a famous samurai and also had his own armour and sword
@@huyle-ob8rg you have an explanation for the rest like the Smithsonian and time magazine who've had publications on Yasuke dating back 5 years ago??. That has nothing to do with Ubisoft or this game.....

Ubisoft went nuclear a while ago when they said that you should be comfortable not owning your games. I'll never buy a game from them again after that. I don't need any more reasons to not buy from that shit company.
The thing that's most worrying is that they've been receiving a lot of pressure to make their society more "modern" pushing things like " LGBTQIA+/gender rights" and urges to take in refugees, with some proposed practically claiming mass immigration is the answer to all their problems. Thankfully they seem to have seen what happened in the West and realize it's a slippery slope/way to destroy your unity culture, but who knows how long this Japan will really exist.
.. . . if UBISLOP did a CHARACTER CHOICE sort of deal, and the Asian Dude is the Shinobi, The Lady is a Kunochi and the Yasuke guy is the tank could have been cooler. Hell, put some more character types as options! but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, GET DEI grants, DIE FROM FACEPLANTS!
I remember someone at Ubislop years back saying they wouldn't ever make a Japanese AC for some dumb reason or another and now they are making one within the best timeframe for it but with the worst possible characters to lead it, this really is just a waste of the setting now.
I think it's a sign Ubisoft is getting desperate. They've already managed to divide their player base over their cash cow franchise and alienate a lot of them. Now they seem to be putting all their eggs in one basket by investing heavily into the "wok" crap because that's what most everyone else is doing. Typical of Ubisoft for quite awhile now - just trying to make money by approximating whatever seems popular at the moment. As good as the game was, I think this all started with AC4 jumping on the Pirate bandwagon at the time.
Oh don't worry, they absolutely do feel inferior, judging by their own narrative. They think whites are superior and thus deserving of scorn, despite 90-99% of white people not thinking they are superior. They are creating their own racism to support their victim narrative
No they did not, they were trying to give people more knowledge on the resources, people were in the comments making things up, Yasuke being called a samurai is old asf, and the stuff they put on wiki is also hella old.
@@judahjudge you didn't know who he was till the trailer dropped. all you lot do is run to google and act like you're an expert on the topic. you did the same thing with female silver surfer.
I agree there are, though its heavily debated. Sadly getting less and less trustworthy when it's coming from US or other Western sources that obviously have a religion going on that they atlre trying to push - ones again - all over the world. Its also very crinch to have found the one black guy to star in a culture that is so rich and full of history. There are incredible historical figures that they could have chosen that represent the culture way better. On top of that they chose you play as her.... With in the background the character that should have stared the game and would do more just to history and the culture. In doing so the are destroying more and more IPs and the studios that were build on the backs of our wallets.
Seems like it's the right that's bitching about this game to me. Whoever is doing it I don't think it matters. It's a video game. It's not that serious.
@@bryan123483 "it's a videogame. It's not that serious." "it's just a cartoon, why do you care so much" then attends a rally about it. why do you care so much indeed.
@@bryan123483 The right didn't care about contrived representation until the left made it a thing and keeps rubbing our noses in it. That's annoying regardless of your politics or lack of them.
An entire roster of historic Japanese figures ,and they chose the retainer. I can't begging to imagine the amount of stupidity that runs rampant in Ubisoft.
@lawrencenewman9941 literally look it up my guy. All samerai were servants. Just like all of our current military can be classified as servants to the government
If you morons know the history that you speak of. Yasuke was a real person, he was in fact African and he was also a Samurai. In the mid to late 1500's he came to Japan with a Italian priest in hopes to spread the word of his god. That is when the lords men put their eyes on a giant of a man with black skin they had to bring him to their master. The lord took a liking to Yasuke because of his size and strength and took him under his wing, years later he was a decorated samurai and the lords best friend.
Yaske was likely the only African in the area and so that name makes sense. Calling Adewalde "Negro" would get one deleted. At least the way I played it. Loved deleting bigots for hours.
As an Asian Male, I'm just absolutely sick and tired of this nonsense. For the first time, we have an Assassin's Creed based in Japan, an 100% obvious Asian Country. However, of course...we CAN'T have a Japanese Male Lead...we have to have a Black individual based upon yes, a Real Person, but one who was NOT a Samurai, but a Servant and Retainer who was paraded around to draw attention because he didn't look like anyone else in Japan. However, let's go down the list here of Main characters in previous AC games... Assassin's Creed set in Italy - Plays as an Italian Man Assassin's Creed set in France - Played as a Frenchman Assassin's Creed Set in America - Played as a Native American Man Assassin's Creed Set in Greece - Played as a Greek Man Assassin's Creed Set in Norway - Played as a Norseman Assassin's Creed Set in Japan - Played as a Black Man....WTF?! It's just infuriating at this point that we CANNOT have Japan just be about Japanese people without putting all of this trash inclusiveness into the game. What's so wrong about having a Japanese Male Samurai in a game that's supposed to take place in Feudal Japan? Doing more digging, you realize that the writer scrapped the previous story which was actually about a Japanese Male in Japan, and instead changed it to a Black Male instead, and when you find out that she also is connected with Sweet Baby Inc...the Woke of all Woke nonsense group for games, this is what we get. I hope they make a new AC game in the future taking place in Sahara Africa where a Japanese man leads a group of Zulu Warriors. GTFO Ubisoft.
Bro its jooos who want blacks more sympathic for japanese childern who then will vote for open borders bcause brainwashing them into yasuka was a japanese hero
@@viniciusaugusto8050black panther isn’t real. It would have to be an open world game about Zulu warriors and somehow an Asian dude is some how blending in and assassinating wave after wave of Africans with their caveman spears. Just crushing armies of them. They seem to love doing that to Asian men.
@@princemarkanthony500 think of it like this, imagine an AC game that took place in Kenya and the MC ends up being Hispanic or white. I wouldn't want to play it either. If I played an AC game in Africa, I'd want to be an African in the game.
Heck, Akechi Mitsuhide would have been a far better choice by default. They could have even faked his death so he continued his life as a nameless assassin.
it's been a fun day, people on bird app using the netflix anime as their source of "historical accuracy" and others not understanding that Tom Cruise wasn't the "Last samurai". Ah, culture.
I am frustrated as a Japanese. You can have as many black men and women as you want if you set it in Africa. But what about Japan? Chronicle China is not well known, but the main character was Chinese. (But it was only a woman.) Are East Asian men not used to being assassins?
"only a woman"? Yeah, I see a pattern. You know what, why don't you time travel back to Oda Nobunaga and tell him not to take Yasuke into his service. Also, did you complain when Nioh made Adams the protagonist?
I found a nice comment on reddit why that is. It's because to the wokies, you are Schroedinger's "whites". You are included by the wokies, if it pads their numbers, but be careful when they look at you and your culture.
@@MurakamiTenshi I have the strong feeling that these activists don't actually like black people, but weaponize them against white and Asian people, that they indeed hate.
Myamoto Musashi was a Freelancer, a Ronin, almost his whole life. that would have been a perfect protagonist! when beeing Japanese isn't diverse enough.... no words! instead, we get one of those FAMOUS female japanese warriors - that were nowhere to be found in this period!
Also interesting is you can go onto wikipedia and look at the edit history. One 'user' was repeatedly removing the passage and several others were adding it back. Eventually it became an Edit war where Wikipedia initially added back the text, and locked the section for editing. A few minutes later Wikipedia, while it was still locked, removed the text. Their citation is that there is no conclusive evidence for 'the claim that yasuke was not a samurai'. The literal equivalent of amazon asking for proof that you didn't get your package.
Samurai was not a term widely used in documentation during that era. There's a ton of warriors from that era that fall into the 'we don't know if they were samurai by today's standards but they may as well have been by the standards of the era and region'.
Its defenders would say “bRuH It’s A vIDEO gAmE.” Okay wise guy, what would you think if they casted an Asian dude as the next Black Panther and justified it with “Bruh it’s just a fictional story?” Same energy.
Well if the game was meant to be fictional I wouldn’t have a problem🤯, but if it’s supposed to be historic then I would feel some type of way but really Idc about what race I use on a game that much to throw a hissy fit.
You think they're dumb? It was intentional. All of hollywood is predictive programming aka propaganda. It's Tel-A-Vision. Even the founders banned their children from using it.
What if: Yasuke was a friendly NPC all throughout the game, feeding you intel and supplies through his connections with the great General. And near the end of the game theres a sidequest where Yasuke is taken back by his Jesuit slavers and it was your mission to free him and that explains why Yasuke faded from history.
Yeah, I'm not mad, just sad. An opportunity to make an interesting game has been wasted, all for another pitiful attempt at social engineering by the gaming industry. What a terrible shame.
I don’t get excited for these games coming out this industry anymore and you shouldn’t be either. Same crap different theme. Not surprised at all. Save yourself from the disappointment and drop your expectations.
There was one, ONE black dude in all of Japan 😭one single unimportant dude he didn’t really do anything, and they chose him? They chose the one black guy in the entire country at the time in a game based in Japan…WTF 😭

@@v-doc5230 Maybe. Or maybe because context. Pirates, for the most part, and invaders naturally are not native to their respective areas by their nature. A Black "Samurai", indeed the ONLY Black man, in feudal Japan isn't the same as a pirate or norse invader. It does seem like this was more a choice contrived by the devs to fit a political agenda.

The Jesuits' arrival in Japan is a brutal historical account. Jesuits taught them about the crucifixion, and Japan said, "That's a cool way to deal with enemies," and they used it on the first 300 missionaries.
@@martinnolhaf3151basically like how white people would or any people would alter history like they still do because whoever wins gets to tell the story and if there is no records they will still change for their way
Yasuke was not only the first black Samurai, he also was a time traveller and went back in time and also wore a wig and lorded over ancient Egypt as Cleopatra.
Correction Yusuke getting a ceremonial sword and a residence puts him really high in rank he was a weapon bearer guess who was also a weapon bearer akechi mitsuhide the samurai General of Nobunaga (don't take weapons bearer as just a word it was a title he wasn't carrying nobunaga's weapons around) yeah that's the level of rank that black guy got and he was present in every military campaign Don't just take wikipedia Info without doing further research
This happened last year with cleoparta and as an Egyptian we had quite the "lovely" reactions over clearing our history, ironically I am also a Japanese translator and Japanese companies are looking for talents over here now since we have one the higher amount of Japanese learners in the world and higher adaptability with Japanese culture too
About Wikipedia and any Wikipedia changing stuff over night is one of the reasons I am never gonna throw out my hard copy encyclopedia I got at first grade….
The same can be said about physical media games. Get as many of those as you can, you never know when they might patch BS into your game or shut down servers
Kinda funny how the Japanese of old used a black men as some sort of jester, and then ubisoft is doing pretty much the exactly same hundreds of years later.
As a jester? You really don't know... The guy served his master for years as a Samurai. At that time anyone that picked up a weapon to defend a lord was considered a samurai but still. The dude existed and served well, leave it be.
@@dgmt8789Sorry, but that's bullshit. Samurai at this point in history were members of an established class of gentry. They were minor land-owning nobles similar to knights in Europe. You couldn't become a samurai other than being born or adopted into a samurai family. He also was in Japan for 2 years as a Jesuit slave, and only served under Oda for 15 months. During which time the highest title he got was 'page', which is a low-level (usually teenage boy) personal servant. The most impressive task he was given was to carry Oda's tools. The only fighting he ever saw was a single fight at Oda's son's house after Oda was killed. After that he simply disappears from the historical record save a single mention of him from his Jesuit owner who says he survived his injuries.
@@gideonroos1188Not true. Hideyoshi was born a peasant but became a samurai later on. There was a lot more social mobility and flexibility at the time. Ironically, he’s the one who later passed a law in 1586 that made it almost impossible to become a samurai without birthright.
I want to give shoutout to my Asian brothers and sisters, they're trying to push this shit onto your legendary culture. I think we all should stand up and force Ubisoft's hand or at least bankrupt them
Yea, even in the historical books there is very little evidence that Yasuke was given samurai status. William Adams on the other hand, his status of being a navigator/samurai is greatly documented. But wokies will continue comparing the two as if they have the same level of importance.
@@RazSkull673 tbh I don't know what they were thinking with Valhalla. The only time vikings and stealth should be together is when your talking about how stealthy they aren't

Barely researching I found how Japan had a more tame xenophobia compared to after the 17th century, but it was still prevalent in the culture... also, one Japanese twitter comment summarized a most enjoyable viewpoint: "Why must this game be about a foreigner coming to japan to butcher its citizens?" The fact this game is taking such a racist action while trying to push DEI politics seems like another tipping point that might help correct the industry. Remember, Netflix paid 2 billion USD for simply “distorting the Egyptian identity” with their Cleopatra show; imagine the threat to a much smaller company like Ubisoft getting a fine like that... for simply trying to push an agenda... I love Assassin's Creed China most, as it was all I could really play on my laptop during my childhood, and only at 14-20 fps. Still found the main character, a woman trained by Ezio (unoriginally my favorite character in the series) to be intriguing; She had actual backstory, and the low framerate kept halting all my progress as I would die or CTD, deleting whatever progress I made through a level... still looking forward to beating it, when I get a non-cracked copy.
I'm not interested in AC anymore. The last AC I played was on the PS3 era. Never purchased any others after that due to how repetitive the open world design got.
@@EndymionTv I want to freind. But why waste time on a big world when I can have fun with other open world games like elden ring or shorter length games.
Origins is good Bayek is a great protagonist, my favorite AC rpg honestly it’s long in itself but short compared to odyssey and Valhalla I recommend just watching a play through on yt
I'm black, and an assassin's Creed fan who always, ALWAYS wanted an assassin creed game based in Japan, the ninja were LITERALLY assassins, and the assassin creed asestitc would go PERFECTLY with it! But unfortunately,i think I might pass because the opportunity has been wasted...im not a masochist by any count, Lara Croft, Samus Aran and Aloy are one of my favorite female characters in gaming. But i don't want to play as a konoichi because in that time period in Japan they were extremely uncommon , they should have had Hattori Hanzo be the main protagonist, or Magoichi Sakai. And Yasuke... I would be cool with the concept, if they didn't say that it was a historical era. I did a lot of research on yasuke cuz I thought it was cool as hell that a black samurai was a thing, but ive did research and everything they're doing with him in this game Feels like full on pandering. They could've made him s DLC character like they did for Awale in AC4. They should've made the Ninja customizable, and the fact that this is THE first time they do anything with Japan and i feel they completely wasted this cool idea that ive always wanted on pandering. And I sadly won't be purchasing this. Such an amazing idea wasted and it makes me sad.😢
The point is they’re using him in the assassins creed People we would never have known if at all loosely if it were real life your honestly just mad and it’s weird just enjoy the game
At least you're not denying his existence like the rest of these morons. Can you name a Samurai from the 16th century that would fit the story better? What does it matter?
Ever hear the expression 'Leftists always argue the exception '? This is that in videogame form. Bonus points. 1. "Get comfortable NOT OWNING your games." - Ubisoft 2.Ubisoft worked with UK police to crack down on online "toxic" behavior.

Ironically, it's so woke that it comes back around to being racist. So, they're saying the first black "immigrant" to Japan is a murderer? No wonder they closed their borders. Ghost of Tsushima is the superior Assassin game.
Most woke shit is literally just selective racism, they're racist FOR black people instead of being racist against them, it never "came back around", both sides are one in the same.
I seen a few Asian people on Instagram and Facebook said how they get sideline in their own game and that its disrespectful. 1 guy on Facebook said he knows yasuke was a real person. But he was a retainer and not samurai and that Ubisoft only picked him as the main character for oblivious reasons. He even said he hated they added in white characters in that new shogun show. But all of these got the same type of replies.... And that's them being called racist
Well Shogan series was based on historical events of William Adams, it's well liked by Japanese & internationals, they had real historical experts on that show & everything right down the kimonos & the colours was historically corrected, it blew everyone's minds, including me who is a bit of history buff. This game on the other hand? It's spitting in the face.
Best thing people can do is not buy anything from Ubisoft. Their stock dropped 3% last night, too, the day the trailer dropped, lol. Seems investors didn't think this was a good idea, either.
Yasuke being essentially a court jester for Nobunaga makes this all drip with sweet irony. Years later, and he is still being used as a ploy to entertain people who blindly consume media based on the skin color of the characters in their media. Then, when you call attention to it, they call YOU the racist!
To think Japan has a rich and vibrant history they could’ve chosen from like the Sengoku era, or the 1600’s like in Shogun. But they instead chose the most basic and pandering move of all. I guess Ghost of Tsushima is probably the only good Assassin’s Creed lite Japan game.
"Hot Ninja Chicks" Yeah I think Ubisoft would be absolutely terrified of Kasumi & Ayane from Dead or Alive because they are actual characters who are very attractive which is a big no no for the MODERN AUDIENCES!
NEVER PRE ORDER FROM UBISOFT, SWEET BABY INC IS INVOLVED WITH THIS GAME, LOOK AT THE LEADER WRITER OF THIS GAME THEY/THEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THEY/THEMSELVES
As a black man myself, first time i heard about Yasuke was i believed in Nioh, or the Netflix anime, don't really remember, but i never knew about that side of Japan history and went to read it online and its actually a real slave turned Samurai under Oda Nobunaga, he actually fought on Battles according to history books, thats where he was betrayed by a general. As a black man myself once more i say, shouldn't really put a black man as an Assassin going around killing Japanese, its a disrespect to their history, the right move would be a character creation and put Yasuke as a mentor of some kind.
@@Embrace-The-Dork-Side I do have a feeling we're going to definitely get it one day and probably much sooner than later especially with the popularity of vagabond blowing up, but I remember seeing this a couple years ago I can't remember if it was for the PS4 or 5 or steam, but someone was making a musashi miyamoto game set in like a cyberpunk future of Japan, my guess is it might have got canceled but it looked good and it was the closest musashi game we ever got outside of samurai warriors .
As a Black person this insults me too. Plenty of culture and history to be found in Africa that is *never* touched by any media at all. Not just talking North African either, Ethiopia, Kenya, what's known as South Africa and Nigeria now etc. This is them admitting they don't think African history is good enough for a game or movie or whatever. Only White or Asian cultures are worth anything and Black people have to be forced into their's. Not understanding these cultures became so beloved because they were depicted with care and creativity. Same can be done with the continent of Africa, the most ancient of them all anthropologically speaking. They just want to use people of African descent for social points but don't actually care about us. As a result there's a worldwide growing animosity towards Black people appearing in anything because of this propaganda. It really sucks.
True, an AC game based on the Zulu empire would sound amazing. It's disheartening to see that these writers don't genuinely care about diversity or representation, because that would take actual effort
Ah, yes. Actual ninjas: exist. Ubisoft: let's take this guy who was basically a jester and call him a samurai but also have him break the samurai code and pretend like a large black dude could be discreet in feudal japan.
@@paganicm3954 Except I'm pretty sure being a samurai was a hereditary minor noble position like being a knight in feudal europe. Yasuke wasnt Japanese so he couldnt have come from a Japanese noble family, so he wouldnt have been a samurai proper.

Sooooo.... Leonardo davinci was an inventor, never invented anything for the assassins but it was cool how ubisoft implemented him in and had him create things that go against physics and even though he wasn't in venice at that time period they put him there. That was cool af to everyone. Now yasuke is also a historic figure which you said we know nothing about. All we know is he existed in japan during that time period, may or may not have had title, armor or sword. We dont know. And them using this real person with blank slate a hell no!! If they used some white guy there would be no problem. Smh
Assassins Creed lost its way when Ubisoft killed off the series' protagonist, Desmond Miles. Now, it's just a mindless zombie, not knowing it's a dead franchise.
Technically no. There was an entire order of female ninjas though the problem with their story is that their operation method wasn't very "Hollywood" in that, they were used mainly for Intel gathering and how did they do that? By training the girls to work in places like brothels near important places then when people involved in said places would visit they'd get them drunk and other methods to get Intel. As you can imagine, that wouldn't do well as a typical movie or game... Press B to ××××.
@colwellalec And 10s of thousands will STILL pre-order it in droves, despite having NO IDEA what the game will play like. The average masses constantly devour this slop on a regular.
Man... That original story sounded soooo good! It would have definitely got me to start playing AC again. I stopped after 3, because I knew they were just going to milk the franchise without anything meaningful to contribute to its story.
Change history? Leonardo Davinci was not allied with the assassins. Neither was Ben Franklin or Charles Darwin. Connor wasn’t present during the declaration of independence. Ezio didn’t fucking kill the pope. Y’all didn’t mind changing history then?
Pretty sure female ninja they coulda used is Mochizuki Chiyome, who was the 1st female ninja. Who was also known to lead the female kunoichi group in the Takeda Clan
Lol, you can't make this up. The Japanese game, where it takes place in Japan, takes place in Feudal Japan, where everyone is Japanese, dealing with Japanese issues, and you play a black man.
Honor your fellow brother and sisters I've been part of most of these games playing as every assassin there is and I never thought anything differently about any of them they were great people they had no lead up ending
Japan was and is very closed country. Man like Yasuke couldn't move freely or unnoticed within native japanese people isn't believable. He would stand out like sore tumb.
If you told Ubisoft that they had to make a good game or their company shuts down. One chance to pull all their resources and talent to make a good game. It wouldn’t happen.
a fantasy version of Yasuke as a great warrior and member of the brotherhood could work, but as a DLC, not as the main game, we have so many great names from around that same time and similar times, Akechi Mitsuhide, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro, and many more, the Vagabond fanboy inside of me craves for Musashi as a assassin and Kojiro as a templar (not a bad templar, someone more like Shay Cormac) just to have their legendary duel as the ending for the game

Japan realized their mistake in investing in ESG and DEI activism.
Not if they think they are getting free money from it.
The thing that's most worrying is that they've been receiving a lot of pressure to make their society more "modern" pushing things like " LGBTQIA+/gender rights" and urges to take in refugees, with some proposed practically claiming mass immigration is the answer to all their problems. Thankfully they seem to have seen what happened in the West and realize it's a slippery slope/way to destroy your unity culture, but who knows how long this Japan will really exist.

This time they will learn the hard way

but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, GET DEI grants, DIE FROM FACEPLANTS!
🤣🤣
I remember someone at Ubislop years back saying they wouldn't ever make a Japanese AC for some dumb reason or another and now they are making one within the best timeframe for it but with the worst possible characters to lead it, this really is just a waste of the setting now.
I think it's a sign Ubisoft is getting desperate. They've already managed to divide their player base over their cash cow franchise and alienate a lot of them. Now they seem to be putting all their eggs in one basket by investing heavily into the "wok" crap because that's what most everyone else is doing. Typical of Ubisoft for quite awhile now - just trying to make money by approximating whatever seems popular at the moment. As good as the game was, I think this all started with AC4 jumping on the Pirate bandwagon at the time.
you'd have to feel pretty damn inferior to constantly rob others of their history?
Next, black Batman, Superman and Elvis.
Oh don't worry, they absolutely do feel inferior, judging by their own narrative. They think whites are superior and thus deserving of scorn, despite 90-99% of white people not thinking they are superior. They are creating their own racism to support their victim narrative

Kinda makes sense tho that, that is his name...
Lol
If you morons know the history that you speak of. Yasuke was a real person, he was in fact African and he was also a Samurai. In the mid to late 1500's he came to Japan with a Italian priest in hopes to spread the word of his god. That is when the lords men put their eyes on a giant of a man with black skin they had to bring him to their master. The lord took a liking to Yasuke because of his size and strength and took him under his wing, years later he was a decorated samurai and the lords best friend.
Yaske was likely the only African in the area and so that name makes sense. Calling Adewalde "Negro" would get one deleted. At least the way I played it. Loved deleting bigots for hours.
Instead of doing all this BS, why don't they just do a game based on Afro Samurai and have them all battle and compete over the headband?
cough ps3 title
Africa isn't woke enough, so Africa is banned by woke people to make games out of.
Tbf this is based on a historic chatacter. The shinobi chick is more unrealistic than he is. Lol
As an Asian Male, I'm just absolutely sick and tired of this nonsense. For the first time, we have an Assassin's Creed based in Japan, an 100% obvious Asian Country. However, of course...we CAN'T have a Japanese Male Lead...we have to have a Black individual based upon yes, a Real Person, but one who was NOT a Samurai, but a Servant and Retainer who was paraded around to draw attention because he didn't look like anyone else in Japan.
However, let's go down the list here of Main characters in previous AC games...
Assassin's Creed set in Italy - Plays as an Italian Man
Assassin's Creed set in France - Played as a Frenchman
Assassin's Creed Set in America - Played as a Native American Man
Assassin's Creed Set in Greece - Played as a Greek Man
Assassin's Creed Set in Norway - Played as a Norseman
Assassin's Creed Set in Japan - Played as a Black Man....WTF?!
It's just infuriating at this point that we CANNOT have Japan just be about Japanese people without putting all of this trash inclusiveness into the game. What's so wrong about having a Japanese Male Samurai in a game that's supposed to take place in Feudal Japan?
Doing more digging, you realize that the writer scrapped the previous story which was actually about a Japanese Male in Japan, and instead changed it to a Black Male instead, and when you find out that she also is connected with Sweet Baby Inc...the Woke of all Woke nonsense group for games, this is what we get.
I hope they make a new AC game in the future taking place in Sahara Africa where a Japanese man leads a group of Zulu Warriors.

Also interesting is you can go onto wikipedia and look at the edit history. One 'user' was repeatedly removing the passage and several others were adding it back. Eventually it became an Edit war where Wikipedia initially added back the text, and locked the section for editing. A few minutes later Wikipedia, while it was still locked, removed the text. Their citation is that there is no conclusive evidence for 'the claim that yasuke was not a samurai'. The literal equivalent of amazon asking for proof that you didn't get your package.
Samurai was not a term widely used in documentation during that era. There's a ton of warriors from that era that fall into the 'we don't know if they were samurai by today's standards but they may as well have been by the standards of the era and region'.
Its defenders would say “bRuH It’s A vIDEO gAmE.” Okay wise guy, what would you think if they casted an Asian dude as the next Black Panther and justified it with “Bruh it’s just a fictional story?” Same energy.

That Yasuke Netflix anime did a lot more damage to history than thought.
You think they're dumb? It was intentional. All of hollywood is predictive programming aka propaganda. It's Tel-A-Vision. Even the founders banned their children from using it.
What if: Yasuke was a friendly NPC all throughout the game, feeding you intel and supplies through his connections with the great General.
And near the end of the game theres a sidequest where Yasuke is taken back by his Jesuit slavers and it was your mission to free him and that explains why Yasuke faded from history.

Remember, Netflix paid 2 billion USD for simply “distorting the Egyptian identity” with their Cleopatra show; imagine the threat to a much smaller company like Ubisoft getting a fine like that... for simply trying to push an agenda...
I love Assassin's Creed China most, as it was all I could really play on my laptop during my childhood, and only at 14-20 fps. Still found the main character, a woman trained by Ezio (unoriginally my favorite character in the series) to be intriguing; She had actual backstory, and the low framerate kept halting all my progress as I would die or CTD, deleting whatever progress I made through a level... still looking forward to beating it, when I get a non-cracked copy.
Finally, someone who actually read the actual manuscripts.
Thank you for educating people with anime misconceptions.
Poor weeby ass bastards.
Black Rock, Vanguard, and State Street a the real Rings Of Power.
I'm not interested in AC anymore. The last AC I played was on the PS3 era. Never purchased any others after that due to how repetitive the open world design got.
Origins is good I think you should play that one. The rest yeah
@@EndymionTv I want to freind. But why waste time on a big world when I can have fun with other open world games like elden ring or shorter length games.
Origins is good Bayek is a great protagonist, my favorite AC rpg honestly it’s long in itself but short compared to odyssey and Valhalla I recommend just watching a play through on yt
@@EternalNightingale Hmnmmm. I'll look into it.
I'm black, and an assassin's Creed fan who always, ALWAYS wanted an assassin creed game based in Japan, the ninja were LITERALLY assassins, and the assassin creed asestitc would go PERFECTLY with it! But unfortunately,i think I might pass because the opportunity has been wasted...im not a masochist by any count, Lara Croft, Samus Aran and Aloy are one of my favorite female characters in gaming. But i don't want to play as a konoichi because in that time period in Japan they were extremely uncommon , they should have had Hattori Hanzo be the main protagonist, or Magoichi Sakai. And Yasuke... I would be cool with the concept, if they didn't say that it was a historical era. I did a lot of research on yasuke cuz I thought it was cool as hell that a black samurai was a thing, but ive did research and everything they're doing with him in this game Feels like full on pandering. They could've made him s DLC character like they did for Awale in AC4. They should've made the Ninja customizable, and the fact that this is THE first time they do anything with Japan and i feel they completely wasted this cool idea that ive always wanted on pandering. And I sadly won't be purchasing this. Such an amazing idea wasted and it makes me sad.😢
You black like Godzilla is real 😂😂😂😂
@@3rdEyeMangekyoRinnegan ok keep telling yourself that.
@@therandom_dude Nice rebuttal lol👎🏾🤣
@@3rdEyeMangekyoRinnegan Thank you 😄
Yasuke is so irrelevant you can read his history in 5 minutes
Phss no you mean like 2mins.
The point is they’re using him in the assassins creed
People we would never have known if at all loosely if it were real life your honestly just mad and it’s weird just enjoy the game
The who holds the pen writes history...his-story....
At least you're not denying his existence like the rest of these morons. Can you name a Samurai from the 16th century that would fit the story better? What does it matter?
The first recorded black man in Japan is "irrelevant".
Alot of people would find it natural to call you racist y'know.
Yasuke was nothing more than a trophy for his court. Just to show off his worldly presence and power. Same as black men in European courts.
glad ubisoft revealed so much racism with just a trailer

Ooh good one! I already don’t own Ubisoft games, I am way ahead of them.
Vote with your wallet.
Pin this guy!
Ironically, it's so woke that it comes back around to being racist. So, they're saying the first black "immigrant" to Japan is a murderer? No wonder they closed their borders. Ghost of Tsushima is the superior Assassin game.
Most woke shit is literally just selective racism, they're racist FOR black people instead of being racist against them, it never "came back around", both sides are one in the same.
DEI is always reaching in one direction for the exception and never the rule. Hopefully this is the final nail in the coffin ⚰️ of Assassin's Greed.
I seen a few Asian people on Instagram and Facebook said how they get sideline in their own game and that its disrespectful. 1 guy on Facebook said he knows yasuke was a real person. But he was a retainer and not samurai and that Ubisoft only picked him as the main character for oblivious reasons. He even said he hated they added in white characters in that new shogun show. But all of these got the same type of replies.... And that's them being called racist
Well Shogan series was based on historical events of William Adams, it's well liked by Japanese & internationals, they had real historical experts on that show & everything right down the kimonos & the colours was historically corrected, it blew everyone's minds, including me who is a bit of history buff. This game on the other hand? It's spitting in the face.
Best thing people can do is not buy anything from Ubisoft. Their stock dropped 3% last night, too, the day the trailer dropped, lol. Seems investors didn't think this was a good idea, either.
Yasuke being essentially a court jester for Nobunaga makes this all drip with sweet irony. Years later, and he is still being used as a ploy to entertain people who blindly consume media based on the skin color of the characters in their media. Then, when you call attention to it, they call YOU the racist!
He was a sword bearer but not a Samuri
wuzkey the samuri
@@randomhuman2595 you cannot be one without the other.
@v-doc5230 Yes, you can; Oda broke many japanese customs, you brick wall

happy black history month
To think Japan has a rich and vibrant history they could’ve chosen from like the Sengoku era, or the 1600’s like in Shogun. But they instead chose the most basic and pandering move of all. I guess Ghost of Tsushima is probably the only good Assassin’s Creed lite Japan game.
"Hot Ninja Chicks" Yeah I think Ubisoft would be absolutely terrified of Kasumi & Ayane from Dead or Alive because they are actual characters who are very attractive which is a big no no for the MODERN AUDIENCES!
NEVER PRE ORDER FROM UBISOFT, SWEET BABY INC IS INVOLVED WITH THIS GAME, LOOK AT THE LEADER WRITER OF THIS GAME THEY/THEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THEY/THEMSELVES
Nah i dont think so
I'm kind of surprised people are still playing AC games. After Black Flag, I was done with a franchise, seeing it going downhill.
Ironic because black flag did the same thing this game is currently doing and I bet you loved that game
As a black man myself, first time i heard about Yasuke was i believed in Nioh, or the Netflix anime, don't really remember, but i never knew about that side of Japan history and went to read it online and its actually a real slave turned Samurai under Oda Nobunaga, he actually fought on Battles according to history books, thats where he was betrayed by a general.
As a black man myself once more i say, shouldn't really put a black man as an Assassin going around killing Japanese, its a disrespect to their history, the right move would be a character creation and put Yasuke as a mentor of some kind.
Japan has hundreds, maybe thousands of figures more relevant than Yasuke, but the woke had to mess this up.
Yeah exactly with the three biggest being kenshin, yukimura, and musashi.
@@rdf4315I'd kill (well, maim, at least) for a game about Musashi Miyamoto...
@@Embrace-The-Dork-Side I do have a feeling we're going to definitely get it one day and probably much sooner than later especially with the popularity of vagabond blowing up, but I remember seeing this a couple years ago I can't remember if it was for the PS4 or 5 or steam, but someone was making a musashi miyamoto game set in like a cyberpunk future of Japan, my guess is it might have got canceled but it looked good and it was the closest musashi game we ever got outside of samurai warriors .
since when does AC pick relevant characters as protagonists? They don't. So that argument is null.
As a Black person this insults me too. Plenty of culture and history to be found in Africa that is *never* touched by any media at all. Not just talking North African either, Ethiopia, Kenya, what's known as South Africa and Nigeria now etc. This is them admitting they don't think African history is good enough for a game or movie or whatever. Only White or Asian cultures are worth anything and Black people have to be forced into their's. Not understanding these cultures became so beloved because they were depicted with care and creativity. Same can be done with the continent of Africa, the most ancient of them all anthropologically speaking. They just want to use people of African descent for social points but don't actually care about us. As a result there's a worldwide growing animosity towards Black people appearing in anything because of this propaganda. It really sucks.
True that!!!!
I see your point and agree, but I just wanted to remind you Origins. That game is set in Northen Africa
True, an AC game based on the Zulu empire would sound amazing. It's disheartening to see that these writers don't genuinely care about diversity or representation, because that would take actual effort
Could an Assassin's Creed game set during the Zulu Wars work ya think? Could be cool to have one during the reign of Mansa Musa or something
glad ubisoft revealed so much racism with just a trailer
"I don't care what they taught you in school - my grandma told me samurais were black and non-binary" 😂
Ah, yes.
Actual ninjas: exist.
Ubisoft: let's take this guy who was basically a jester and call him a samurai but also have him break the samurai code and pretend like a large black dude could be discreet in feudal japan.
Did you watch the trailer? He's not the Assassin. The ninja is the Assassin.
@@Sly9192 Did you read the title of the game?
@wrongthinker843 ignore him.. he is one of them
Yasuke was a real samurai. Saw real combat. Was in combat. And was given a sword, estate, and pay. All the symptoms of a samurai
@@paganicm3954 Except I'm pretty sure being a samurai was a hereditary minor noble position like being a knight in feudal europe. Yasuke wasnt Japanese so he couldnt have come from a Japanese noble family, so he wouldnt have been a samurai proper.
'Member the crossbow that was removed from the first trailer because of historical inaccuracy
Yeah, I 'member
This is terrible and very racist of Ubislop to scrub the original story and take out the Japanese male character.
Where can I read up on the original vision before Sweat Boobies Inc got involved?
You’re racist.
I refuse to buy this game. Its legitimately insulting
After that abortion anime of Yasuke they did on Netflix, I’m EXTREMELY skeptical of any content featuring Yasuke.
I just hope they do a decent job

A retainer is a samurai. Facts over your racist feelings
I wanted an AC game in Japan for so long. I got it with Ghosts of Tsushima. No one is going to buy this. Not a dime will be made. Screw Ubisoft, screw these woke freaks.
I'm gonna buy it
Sooooo.... Leonardo davinci was an inventor, never invented anything for the assassins but it was cool how ubisoft implemented him in and had him create things that go against physics and even though he wasn't in venice at that time period they put him there. That was cool af to everyone.
Now yasuke is also a historic figure which you said we know nothing about. All we know is he existed in japan during that time period, may or may not have had title, armor or sword. We dont know. And them using this real person with blank slate a hell no!! If they used some white guy there would be no problem. Smh
Assassins Creed lost its way when Ubisoft killed off the series' protagonist, Desmond Miles. Now, it's just a mindless zombie, not knowing it's a dead franchise.
#Facts
The number of named Kunoichi in history can all be counted on one hand so now they’re just making ones up for ESG
Technically no. There was an entire order of female ninjas though the problem with their story is that their operation method wasn't very "Hollywood" in that, they were used mainly for Intel gathering and how did they do that? By training the girls to work in places like brothels near important places then when people involved in said places would visit they'd get them drunk and other methods to get Intel. As you can imagine, that wouldn't do well as a typical movie or game... Press B to ××××.
Aren’t the same people pushing this shit the same people that flipped about Ghost of Tsushima over “cultural appropriation”?
This
I guess
I litteraly saw a scene where I thought this was an intro to Madden 26 😂
A samurai was usually a descended of the japanese noble families not some dude chosen at random!
I’ve been telling people to boycott AC Japan since they announced it was a black guy instead of a Japanese guy.

@colwellalec
And 10s of thousands will STILL pre-order it in droves, despite having NO IDEA what the game will play like. The average masses constantly devour this slop on a regular.
Batman Arkham Knight was ahead of its time
Man... That original story sounded soooo good! It would have definitely got me to start playing AC again. I stopped after 3, because I knew they were just going to milk the franchise without anything meaningful to contribute to its story.
As a ethnic person I hate when people try to change history and just lie to your face for their own devious agendas.
Change history? Leonardo Davinci was not allied with the assassins. Neither was Ben Franklin or Charles Darwin. Connor wasn’t present during the declaration of independence. Ezio didn’t fucking kill the pope. Y’all didn’t mind changing history then?
Pretty sure female ninja they coulda used is Mochizuki Chiyome, who was the 1st female ninja. Who was also known to lead the female kunoichi group in the Takeda Clan
Lol, you can't make this up. The Japanese game, where it takes place in Japan, takes place in Feudal Japan, where everyone is Japanese, dealing with Japanese issues, and you play a black man.
Honor your fellow brother and sisters I've been part of most of these games playing as every assassin there is and I never thought anything differently about any of them they were great people they had no lead up ending
Japan was and is very closed country. Man like Yasuke couldn't move freely or unnoticed within native japanese people isn't believable. He would stand out like sore tumb.
He can bamboozle with pander powers!!!
I think they’re gonna have the female be the pure stealth character & Yasuke be the pure brute combat character but it’s still dumb lol.
If you told Ubisoft that they had to make a good game or their company shuts down. One chance to pull all their resources and talent to make a good game. It wouldn’t happen.
They ruined assassins creed
a fantasy version of Yasuke as a great warrior and member of the brotherhood could work, but as a DLC, not as the main game, we have so many great names from around that same time and similar times, Akechi Mitsuhide, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro, and many more, the Vagabond fanboy inside of me craves for Musashi as a assassin and Kojiro as a templar (not a bad templar, someone more like Shay Cormac) just to have their legendary duel as the ending for the game
