After years of speculation, Ubisoft revealed yesterday Assassin’s Creed: Shadowsand the game has given a lot to talk about in the last few hours, and that is that its co-star, a samurai of African origin, has not been liked by everyone, even the Japanese.
Although Yasuke, the co-star of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, was a real person who served Oda Nobunaga for a couple of years, many have pointed out that this is a forced inclusion on Ubisoft’s part. Through social networks, Multiple users in Japan have proven to be against this decision. This was what was said:
“A game where a black man slaughters Japanese people in the Sengoku period is a perfect example of UBI. “This is what happens when being politically correct is taken to the extreme?”
“I wanted Yasuke to be an ally. Are they making fun of Japan? “They should have made someone like Saizo Kirigakure a murderer.”
“It’s a little disappointing. He wanted to play as a Japanese ninja.”
However, A number of positive comments have also come to light. which show that not everyone is against the decision to make Yasuke the co-star. This is what has been mentioned in this regard:
“I’m excited about characters that everyone can love, like a black historical figure with a samurai soul who served Nobunaga, something that seems like a lie, but it’s real.”
“This work has two protagonists, and one of these is Yasuke, who is present in Nobunaga’s story. “This looks very interesting.”
We must not forget that Yasuke is the co-star, and Part of this adventure will be focused on Naoe, who is a ninja who was born and raised in Japan.. Unlike Origins, Odyssey and Valhallahere we are presented with a narrative structure similar to Syndicatewhere the two characters exist at the same time, and we are not presented with a decision at the beginning of the adventure, but rather the story will dictate when we have control of Yasuke and Naoe.
We remind you that Assassin’s Creed: Shadows will arrive on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 15, 2024. On related topics, you can learn more about this title here.
Author’s Note:
Considering that we are talking about a real person, this was an opportunity that was surely taken to offer an interesting story. More than the decision to cast Yasuke as a co-star, it will be interesting to see if Ubisoft takes his race as an interesting narrative element, or simply ignores this section, something that would be disappointing.
