EDIT: Why do I feel like this is entirely lip service and Ubisoft is going to change nothing about the game? Also, I wonder how investors will see this announcement after Ubisoft lied and told them the game is universally praised?

Assassins Creed has NEVER had a real historical figure as a playable main character, EVER. But the one time they do, it has to be Yasuke?

"Yasuke as a samurai is a matter of debate"

No, it is not a matter of debate. There is only one letter that mentions him as a retainer. That's it. There is no evidence or proof or any mention of him being a samurai. There is no debate.

They clearly wrote part of this to try to salvage Lockleys career, but that guy already did the damage and deserves what has happened. You don't make up fan fiction and then pass it off as actual authentic historical fact.

This whole thing was obviously released to try to prevent the game being banned/limited/whatever by the Japanese government.

I hope they delay the game and fix all the issues it has, or rename it to Assassin's Creed Isekai and make the minor tweaks necessary for that.
