Absolutely. Take Shadow of the Tomb Raider, of which I've been playing lately. When you start a new game, you're greeted with:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider was created by a diverse and talented team comprised of multiple genders, backgrounds. ethnicities, religious beliefs, and personalities. Although the game is not based on real life events and represents a work of fiction, it was developed in conjunction with a historian and cultural consultants. This variety and partnership were both instrumental in crafting the world you're about to experience. No matter where you come from or who you are, allow us to be the first to say:

Welcome to Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

I love when games spend time perfecting the historical and cultural aspects of a game. Adds a lot of depth to a game, in comparison to a cookie-cutter first person shooter like Call of Duty.

Well the WW2 ones are relatively historically accurate (missions, not necessarily exact geography) with added dramatisation and extras. But the modern ones that are complete fiction obviously don't need to be. Actually, any game that is fictional doesn't need to be historically or culturally accurate.

I'm fairly sure that Assassin's Creed has had these notes at the beginning since the first or second game.

I'm right, as expected.
