No, it’s a typo.Oh, so the ninja is black, too? Wonderful. I was worried we might have a AAA video game release without a black female protagonist!
It's worth pointing out the leaks that happened a while back (I believe it was in 2020) where it revealed corporate was constantly interfering to prevent devs from going full retard because devs kept trying to make a female protagonist the main focus. Evie was suppose to have more screentime in Syndicate but corporate jumped in. Origins was suppose to have Bayek die early on so you'd play as Aya as the actual lead, kinda like AC3 with the Haytham to Connor switchup. Odyssey was only suppose to have Kassandra as a playable character but corporate came in and told them to make a male protagonist. The leaks never mentioned anything about Valhalla but I wouldn't be surprised if Eivor was suppose to only be female and then corporate said "make a male choice" so they just grabbed the Odin VA, as the stated canon choice is female Eivor and male Odin.FYI, short timelines of recent Assassin's Creed games and games by Ubisoft Quebec, the leading studio on Shadows:

This has me thinking. Given the number of years this long-awaited Japanese Assassin's Creed game has likely been in development for, I really wonder if Yasuke was decided upon and finalized shortly after and in reaction to the 2020 George Floyd Summer of Love. You know, the time when racial corporate pandering with black squares and such really went into overdrive. Perhaps I'm naive, but I'd like to think that public reception nowadays has clearly indicated rejection of this "representation" such that Ubisoft would've gone back on this decision if they could, but they've probably put so much work into the premise of Yasuke being a main protagonist (story content, art assets, etc.) that they effectively have no choice but to bear with it to release.
Even many in the Games subreddit appeared to be openly put off by Yasuke, which I find to be surprising to come from the big ideologically-captured community that keeps its gay Pride Month banner up in perpetuity.
He was tragically exiled to India/Goa.Yasuke's real story is honestly a bit sad. The guy was a slave turned circus freak by a well known eccentric weirdo and probably didn't have a great life after his owner died.
Exiled to the land of street shitters seems like a fate worse than death, but at least Japan knows how to properly treat black people.He was tragically exiled to India/Goa.
As for the wikipedia edit wars, may I remind you lizthegrey aka Elliot Fong wrote most of the kiwifarms entry.

Don't worry guys, modern politics didn't factor in. Promise.

those guys have been #metoo'd by now (also around 2020), because that was literally one of the complaints. "they're sexist for wanting to go with the protagonist that makes the most sales" - similar to that one retarded lionhead dev who tried to farm pitypoints how microsofts execs were adamant not putting a stronk black womyn on the cover of fable 2 (or 3, can't remember).Only Syndicate and Odyssey were Ubisoft Quebec's doing but I bet they were furious about the other games. I think you might be right about that 2020 timeline for the decision for Yasuke because I can imagine the soydevs wanting to do their BLM shit while also probably thinking they're geniuses by getting "the evil racists" to play their female protagonist.
not sure if legit or relevant, but...The Wikipedia page for Yasuke is literally in the middle of an edit war. Theozilla, the retard trying to claim Yasuke was a samurai, is getting called out in his profile talk page.
William Adams was an actual samurai. They have shrines and shit named after him in Japan unlike we wuz samurai.Yeah, I'm getting hit with arguments like "chuds only care about historical accuracy when it's people they don't like" and "nobody made a stink about playing a white dude in Nioh". Disingenuous cunts.
