Because Africa is a shithole so the level design would be hunting bushmeat and sneaking into mud huts.If they wanted to do a Black lead, why not Mali, Songhai, or some other African setting? There's plenty to choose from in that Era. Doing it in AC Japan can only be for woke points. This'll probably be a pass for me. I couldn't even make it through Valhalla and Mirage looked boring. Japan could be cool, but being this overtly woke doesn't bode well.

From Mozambique, most likely, but looks like George Floyd. I would actually say his skin isn't dark enough in the teaser shots.Yasuke was real

Also looks like the assumption that this is DEI forced is true. This is not the original vision for the game.
Yeah I saw a breakdown for all the AC games today (I can't find it) and every protagonist was squarely in line with the setting.I think this is the first time they haven't used a native of the historical setting as a main character.
You mean huge black dudes weren't the original samurais?I think this is the first time they haven't used a native of the historical setting as a main character.
