Yes there was a man named Yasuke who for a time was involved in the court of Nobunaga. Thats all we know about the guy. There is absolutely zero evidence he was a Samauri or soldier who fought for Nobunaga.

Reality is the guy was most likely an oddity in Nobunaga's court as theres no records of Yasuke after Nobunaga's death.
He was a retainer which is just a slave. He was never given the title of samurai or anything else.

Reality is the guy was most likely an oddity in Nobunaga's court as theres no records of Yasuke before or after Nobunaga's death.

Based on the wiki, he was alive at least 5 months post-Nobunaga death based on some info from Jesuit Missionaries. But nothing beyond that. It's possible he left Japan/was taken from Japan at some point.

Sort of like William Adam's Japanese born children after a decree was made kicking all foreigners or half-foreigners from the country. They vanish from the historical record around that time and it is suspected they may have ended up in Jakarta, since that is where a lot of the half foreigner/half japanese ended up.

I tapped out of Valhalla when two kids were talking about a dogs preferred gender. Turned the game off 3 seconds later and never touched it again
You play this gay ass series, and this is where you finally pulled the plug? How are we going to be friends.

Nobunaga kept him around because he was a novelty. A few centuries later and he becomes a minor celebrity due to some fat bitch with 15 dollar tattoos.

In practical terms, every new Japanese character you're introduced to should have the same incredulous response. I mean, we're talking about a person whose liege made him strip and wash the black off his skin.

Otherwise the character either has to be changed from an obscure character who spent a yearish in Japan and is only referenced in a few writings into a famous samurai, known by all Japanese and having the support and respect of the Daimyo.

Rewrite history to have him be a huge respected superstar...

...or have the game be about his struggles with battling prejudice and institutional racism in a land that isn't inclined to accept him?

Yall thought American racial crime stats look bad, here it's just gonna be 1 dude committing most of the murders.

I'm trying to figure out how this is going to remotely be an Assassin's Creed game. The guy is a huge brawler.

Valhalla also had this issue to an extent. Sneaking was heavily de-emphasized because it was much easier to just equip two giant swords and bash everything Souls-style.

If there's no minimum requirement (like "sign up for six months") then there's nothing stopping people from just subscribing for one month, playing the game, and cancelling. Get the whole super duper ultimate edition for $18. Not like this is an MMO you'll keep playing.

The trailer made it seem like you play both samurai and ninja characters equally.

its like AC Syndicate where you can choose either one for most missions, but some missions will require you to play as one.

like any time you have to kiss a man and suck his dick you will be Yasuke, and any time you have to talk about the patriarchy or make a sandwich you will play as the chick

Can't wait to see a stealth mission where you hide in the middle of a crowd of short Japanese people as a 6'5" black dude in gold armor.
