so kind of off topic here, but i've never been a big fan of the AC games. i've only played 2 of them, the 1st one, and one of the more recent ones (the one with a brother and sister duo for playables i think), never finished either of them. but the most shocking thing to me after playing the 1st AC game, was seeing the Ubisoft logo on the one i played years later because i could've swore that the AC series was made by EA. that's how off my radar this game series was until all this nonsense with the upcoming game happened.

Ubisoft are terrible, they made historical figures that are represented in history as "good guys" as the bad guys. King Alfred was one of a very select few good rulers that Wessex/England ever had. Now in regards to Yasuke, Wikipedia has been edited by a bunch of dimwits to say that he is a Samurai and because Wikipedia is used by laymen to learn a bit about history this is extremely worrying. Sure, historians will know the truth but many these days would rather present a narrative than the facts. I have no problem with Yasuke being a main character in an Assassins Creed game, as it is fiction, but I think they could have done better.

@@unrested you can find the actual written documents about the person named Yasuke by Nobunaga. Not the wikipedia. I advise you to read the translated version of the document. A slave is not paid a salary in the Sengoku era equivalent to 1200USD today. Slave means free services without choice! That money was given to the servant named Yasuke. The true document even states that Nobunaga spent hours talking with him because he was able to reach limited Japanese(日本語) level. The information about his service to the missionaries are very incomplete but they do not declare he was a captured slave. But was indeed endured to serve as body guard for the missionaries in their travels because of his substantial height and extremely dark skin and physical strength.

Tbh there have been debates like this for pretty much every single game in the Assassin's Creed franchise. I guess it depends what we think "historical fiction" is supposed to mean. Emphasis on the historical or on the fiction? But yeah, they always get a lot wrong. Oh FWIW, re: Napoleon there was quite a bit of backlash in France after Ridley Scott's movie. Not historically accurate at all. Some things you expect coz you get that it's a movie and they're going to make some changes to make everything more dramatic. Fair enough. But other changes are harder to explain. Like portraying Napoleon as a heartless brute who beats his wife in public, I mean, there's definitely some ideology driving that. And dunno, like in his portrayal of the battle of the pyramids, they have him order artillery to start shooting at the great pyramid of Gizah lol. Which is weird not just because the battle was actually a lot further off from the pyramids than that, but historically Napoleon's expedition to Egypt is pretty much the origin of modern Egyptology. He brought like 200 scholars along with him to study ancient Egyptian culture and whatnot. So like, yeah, the dude definitely wasn't trying to destroy the great pyramid of Gizah lol ^^ Ubisoft usually tries to wiggle their way out of it by saying something like "yeah it's not accurate, but when we say historical fiction we just mean we're taking a historical period to paint the background of our fictional story". Ridley Scott though really leaned into it, basically telling historians "how do you know? Were you there? If not then shut the fuck up" lol ^^
