If they wanted a black Assassin’s Creed main character, it couldn’t have been set in Africa?
They already did AC Origins...
But I guess that character looked too "mixed race"
But honestly who cares. The guy was a real life person and the real life person was black. I've played some of the AC games. I don't think this was some, let's put a black guy in the game move. More of a Tom Cruise in "Last Samurai" let's make something interesting by having someone who doesn't belong put in as the main character.
Regardless I probably won't play it. The AC games have gotten boring to me.
