I don't think a single one was based on a historical person. But in this one instance they do make the MC a historical person. If I was a cynical man I'd say they did that just so they can justify it when they get called out...

    Well, I love the anime, however I think Ubisoft coming up with adding Yasuke as one of the main characters, they are making it quite obvious as to why this was truly created. I'm not saying Yasuke wasn't real but even the creators of this game admitted that there isn't much history about him which makes it all the more easier. I say let's see how well this does, so long as they don't blame people for not buying it if it doesn't make profit.

This has to come out after the Star Wars game that is incoming soon and IF that is a disaster then this will get hit even harder in terms of failure cause Ubisoft cannot get out of there own way and just make GOOD games anymore.

    I don't trust Ubisoft to make a good game anymore. Ever since they stopped having AC adversarial multiplayer and started the open world bs it's been downward spiral for me.

    If ppl support it they get what they deserve. At this point you just have to not support these games to let ppl know where you stand. The knew what they were doing.

    My favourite comment so far was a tweet by a Japanese guy saying "I understand what cultural appropriation is now"... game looks amazing tho, dammit if they'd just set it in a Africa they wouldn't be getting ratioed right now. Also - why the downvotes on this? The Tom Hanks joke alone was worth a 👍
