As far as we know they simply thought this was a more compelling story.

So was William Adams, that didn't stop them moaning about White WashingCool. Before someone calls this woke or something, he did exist and served with Oda Nobunaga:

I think Ubisoft did this to get people arguing and to generate a lot of buzz about the game
Nioh although very loosely following scrapped Akira Kurosawa's script about a blond blue-eyed samurai, it wasn't their deliberate design.

REEEEEEE did that, a lot.
Also, no one had problems with this one:

But at some point, it becomes painfully obvious that there's simply agenda pushing.
So this is inspired by an actual unique historical figure, in a series known for highlighting unique historical figures, and some are whining about it and already crying woke?
Thousands of feudal Japanese-inspired games where you play a conventional bad-ass Japanese samurai, god forbid you play as a black guy.
The last few entries featured playable female characters in masculine societal roles and beating up on grown men twice their size.
No problem suspending your disbelief for that.

If we put in a black main character, that'll really boost the sales.

African Ninja (Assassin) and a Japanese female Samurai are the two main characters according to Tom Henderson's March information .

So, out of the thousands of japanese samurai games that exists, how many of them feature a playable yasuke?
One:
Also, you can use Yasuke model on Nioh 2 (I think that in the first game too, if I remember correctly).
Coincidentally, It was also announced last month a Yasuke game:
Anyway, Yasuke had a unique and interesting life, if this is true and Ubi doesn't fuck up, this game might end up being amazing.

While true it could be a woke decision to choose the one samurai who was black over the thousands who Japanese. Personally I don't care probably won't play this anyway.Cool. Before someone calls this woke or something, he did exist and served with Oda Nobunaga:

It's not like being an historical figure makes the game woke or not btw

Out of millions that have hundreds if not thousands of entertainment works already.
IDK, this one seems more like, "this has not been done before with this unique figure," more so. And I will be the first to admit that the woke culture virus is plaguing institutions.
Like I said prior, it's not like they are pulling a Disney or Netflix with a race swap patronizing backhand to "people of color" saying they don't deserve original works, this is literally an original work based on an actual unique historical figure.

I dont care about the skin collor, but dude is supposed to be one of the few africans in the country, and you'll make him an assassin?
Someone that should blend into the crowd?
That's ... a choice. The protagonist will be as discrete as a dragon among the japanese crowd.
But AC being about silent kills is long gone, so eh

Yeah, but that's not the point. This is the same argument we see when there's race/gender/sexuality swapping and everybody goes to defend it being canon because in a special edition of a story in a multiverse that character was gay or black or whatever. Or because, you know, no one explicitly ever said the little marmaid wasn't black. Wink wink.Cool. Before someone calls this woke or something, he did exist and served with Oda Nobunaga:

They're doing it because they fucking need to have diversity. Will that make the game bad? Not necessarily. But we are more than allowed to roll our eyes.
Can't wait to be lectured about racism in an AC game.

At this point, is there anyone who doesnt see "that's woke" as code for "I'm racist"? I mean, except for… you know.

How can you call it woke when you haven't actually seen the game? Do you know if they'll be preaching about inclusivity, homosexuality, or gender equality? Then how do you know it's woke? The mere fact that they picked the black samurai is enough to make it woke to you? This train of thought tells a lot more about you than it does about the game.

As for this, yeah sure I'm down, can be a cool setting. Plenty other samurai games coming out too if you feel this is not for you (despite literally nothing other than the race of the main protag being "leaked")
