Honestly this is more interesting me than going the whole ninja route. A samurai from Africa with a historical fiction story is like cooler than random ninja. Like, wasn't that part of what people liked about the original series, the at least tangential connection to the real world history?

While I have no issue with Yasuke, playing as the not assassin character (who I assume is secretly an assassin) in the culture with a famous assassin character class is certainly a choice.

Ubisoft for the longest time said they didn't want to do an AC set in Ancient Japan because they felt the setting was "played out." This is probably the only way they'd agree to do one. This way they stand out from all the other ninja games set in feudal Japan.
I doubt most people will understand that nuance tho. --- http://i.imgur.com/vDci4hD.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

They took way too long to make a game based in Japan. I know they were probably keeping this one in their back pocket to reinvigorate interest in the series but man, the series is well past saving imo.

In a way that largely works to Yasuke's advantage as anyone willing to write him into their story can do anything they want with him and nobody can really make claims of historical inaccuracy against him. He has, however, made appearances in Nioh, Samurai Warriors 5, and the later Nobunaga's Ambition games. --- I will rule the world, and find that truly good cup of coffee. ... Copied to Clipboard!

He's basically a samurai on a technicality, as in he was mostly a member of the Oda clan and not indentured, but payed and allowed to have a sword and his own house. He did fight Akechi Mitsuhide's forces for his lord and his clan.

I don't understand why they don't just use a made up black guy instead of Yasuke. All the previous Assassin's Creed games had you play as made up characters so the story wasn't too limited.
The only thing I can thing of is that you technically play as Yasuke, but it is in very limited set piece events (like how Odyssey had you play as Leonidas in the prologue) --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Today is the 1st time I've ever heard of Yasuke, so this sounds like a great idea to me since it's sort teaching you about history that isnt exactly common knowledge (of course it's AC, so it's not going to be an accurate portrayal, but still nice).
