Something must be going on at Ubisoft. They cancelled their Tokyo Game Show stream without any explanation as well.

    Gonna wait and see what their statement is.

    If it’s that they’re gonna change something in the game, I doubt it’s gonna be related to the (black) main character. I can’t imagine it would be an easy fix to fully replace him with a different character at this point.

    If people really find it such a big deal I think best they could do is to let people choose their own main male character, like Odyssey and Valhalla.

      From what I understand he is not THE main character he is one of the two main characters.

      It would be impossible to replace him at this point in the development and other than the super hard-core racists I don’t think anyone wants that at all.

      I feel like the discussion is way past “the main character is black” at this point

          Ya. What I have seen is mainly related to Ubisoft saying the game is history accurate but it is not at all that. Also they used some stolen / AI generated assets when promoting the game. Also it is disrespectful to have a foreigner going around killing Japanese.
