Assassin's Creed Shadows is under fire for featuring a Black samurai protagonist, but let's not pretend we suddenly care deeply about Asian representation.
On one hand leads have never been famous folks insofar as I recall. Oh sure you interact with them, meet George Washinton, Da Vinci fixes up the blade at one point, but you the player were never really notable so to a very slight extent I can get wanting to preserve that.
On the other hand this is a game about using genetic memory to relive times hundreds to thousands of years in the past where ancient aliens are fighting a proxy war. You fight a minotaur and visit Atlantis in the greek one. With that in mind complaints about Yasuke just feel kinda lmao. Like… that is your big concern? That is whats destroying the game for you? Really?
