But the fact that they've got a story based in Feudal Japan (let this sink in) and they've got Yasuke as this really big deal figure, is just encouraging the anti-Woke crowd to go at the Game, and I honestly can't blame them as it does look like the West can't tell a story without putting in black characters for the sake of it, even if it doesn't make much sense with the story that's been selected.

I know that Yasuke was a real person from Japan, and the Western world wants to let everyone know about it, it seems, even elevating his importance compared to the real world events.

I'm sure that it'll be a solid Game for the AC fans (Japanese history is naturally very interesting) but this attempt to make Yasuke into a much bigger deal makes me cringe a little bit.

If they want Historical Video Games with prominent black characters, then pick Historical moments with black people prominent, that would make for a great Video Game, it shouldn't be that hard to do imo.

I like good writing that feels natural, super important black people in Feudal Japan is neither of those things imo.
