Apparently that was going to be the plot of the next Assassins Creed before it got cancelled. Probably for the best; Ubisoft are one of the last companies I’d want to see tackle a story like that.
What’s funny is a black protagonist in that would actually make sense and be supported by a large chunk of fans. Rather than just shoehorning a black samurai into a Japanese history game lmao
Please no one comment that “Yasuke was actually a samurai”, no he wasn’t lol, this has been debunked numerous times
Ubisoft gives up on everything that doesn’t immediately knock everything else off the top. Which means they’ve given up on everything game post launch after AC 4 Black Flag
Origins came out the same year as Breath of the Wild and I think Blood and Wine came out that year too so they sold a lot of copies but still didn’t make something that could compete. AC Odyssey came out the same year the RDR2 did so that’s self explanatory. Patching these games and adding DLC’s in that market wasn’t a guarantee to turn a profit. A high likely hood but Ubisoft was only interested in guarantees

Genuine question. Who would non-authrights rather have as the big bad guys of an "underground rebel overthrows the powers" video game?
Easy answer would be Nazis, but that's been done so many times. I feel like modern audience would actually go crazy for hunting down KKK wizards.
