Assassins Chronicle Fans Slam Decision to Include Black Samurai in Feudal Japan Story

Assassin's Creed is known for playing with historical events and fitting its own version of them into the series' overarching lore, so Yasuke's story will likely play out differently in the game than in real life. However, the decision to include a black samurai in feudal Japan has been met with criticism from some fans.

Some fans are slamming the decision to include a black samurai in feudal Japan in the upcoming Assassin's Creed game

In the new trailer for Assassin's Creed: Shadows, there is a brief glimpse of a black samurai named Yasuke. This has led to some fans criticizing the decision to include a black samurai in feudal Japan, claiming that it is historically inaccurate.

However, there is evidence to suggest that there were black samurai in feudal Japan. Yasuke was a real-world figure who served as a samurai under Oda Nobunaga in the 16th century. He was reportedly incredibly strong and thus an ideal candidate for a samurai.

Despite the historical evidence, some fans are still upset about the decision to include a black samurai in Assassin's Creed: Shadows. They argue that it is ahistorical and that it ruins the immersion of the game.

Others, however, are defending the decision to include Yasuke in the game. They argue that it is important to represent diversity in video games and that Yasuke's story is an important one to tell.

The debate over the inclusion of a black samurai in Assassin's Creed: Shadows is likely to continue in the lead-up to the game's release. It remains to be seen whether Ubisoft will address the criticism or if they will stand by their decision to include Yasuke in the game.
