The authors of Assassin's Creed Shadows tried to explain the choice of a dark-skinned samurai as the main character

The authors of Assassin's Creed Shadows tried to explain their choice in favor of making a dark-skinned samurai one of the main characters of the game.

According to the creative director of the project Jonathan Dumont, he and his team always wanted to make one of the characters a foreigner. That's why the choice fell on Yasuke, who is a native of Africa. As players will also be visiting Japan for the first time in Ubisoft's games, Yasuke's company will be a comfortable one for them. Well, that's what they thought, and what turned out in the end, we all know.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is scheduled for release on November 15.
