Many people are getting really upset about this game, particularly in Japan as Japanese gamers are feeling left out when compared to previous Assassin’s Creed games which always features a protagonist from the same are as the setting.
Even though these feeling as absolutely justified, it’s also important to not overswing and reach incorrect conclusions such as some people mentioning that there was never a Black African man in Feudal Japan, which is historically incorrect.
Let’s talk about Yasuke, let’s watch the trailer and see if the way they represented him in this game is in any way coherent with the historical record and most importantly let’s ask the hardest question of all…Was Yasuke a samurai?
