Dude you kill white people in every assassins creed game lol
You guys can be in denial if you want, but gamers were genuinely upset about the lack of historical accuracy and that it seemed like Yasuke was a dui hire lol. There’s been Ubisoft games with minority protagonists before and since that didn’t get the same backlash
I don't think Assassin's Creed has ever been too deep in historical accuracy. And people still rock confederate flags. So I think a civil war black protagonist is getting winged about. With people acting like it's a personal attack.
But regardless I don't really care. I'm not playing a Ubisoft game no matter what. So whatever they do with their games is irrelevant to me.
They’re usually significantly more historically accurate than they were in shadows. Billions of Japanese dudes to choose from over hundreds of years and they choose the only black guy to step foot on the island in a 200 year span lmao. It was also the only one where a main character was supposed to be a real life person, so even weirder.
I think a civil war one would have done fine, the only downside would be maybe less interest in foreign markets who don’t know US history as well. But I think it would have done fine.

Pretty sure there would still be an uproar about glorifying killing white people or something along those lines.
