    Not very. If he’s African then he’s African I don’t see what the problem is.

        Nonsense. Everyone knows that the concept of travel was invented in 1973, by Henry Kissinger, as a way to more efficiently commit genocide.

      The anti woke “historical accuracy” crowd is getting pissy that an african samurai is represented in a game set in feudal Japan, ignoring the existence of Yasuke who served Oda Nobunaga, who is a pretty big deal in Japanese history.

      And Ubisoft is going to do Ubisoft things and tell a historically inspired but ultimately fictional story about secret organizations running secret proxy wars trying to gain control advanced magical technology from an ancient prehumanity civilization, and how magical genetic bloodlines let you access the memories of your ancestors.
