Nvm that Yasuke was a real person.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke

    The character is based on Yasuke (a real person) and he’s a playable character in the new Assassins Creed set in feudal Japan.

    Could they have made the character a Japanese man? Sure. That is a valid complaint. I think Yasuke is also fine considering his story.

      Wait, people are losing their shit over the historical accuracy of Assassin’s Creed ? Did they miss the part where the entire franchise revolves around some DNA magic, or the “apples of Eden” stuff ? Or whoever Borgia pope with literal magical powers we fought in AC2 ?

      AC has always been about (somewhat loose) historical accuracy of the setting, ie, places, buildings, culture, etc. They take tons of liberties with characters and “realism”
