I thought this was a crippling failure because it was woke or something?

Yeah they put a black samurai in it. Of course the screeching ggamers were screeching about “historical accuracy “….. and then of course there was a story about a black samurai …. So they had to shut up

To be fair, yasuke never was a samurai. He was a bodyguard of a jesuit monk (I think?) and was sold to obu nobunaga because he thought he looked "funny". He was a trusted retainer under nobunaga, but never owned land or was a samurai.

To be fair to be fair, those people never complained about the historical accuracy with Pope sword fights, or Leonardo Divinci having technology that wouldn't be produced until the 1800s, and I'm sure many more historical inaccuracies involving white folks.

Is kinda suss though that Ubisoft couldn't do more black characters when in the Americas though, but can totally do it when it's in Asia. 🙆🏾‍♂️
