Cancelled because a black man killing the Klan, after all the morons complaining about Yasuke, was going to be too controversial of a video game in our (Americans’) “unstable” country.

    Ubisoft will not tolerate anything but slop. The story needs to be about absolutely nothing.

      I would so love to have an AC game where you play a black assassin taking out slave-owners and warmongering southern landowners, it’s a universally* acceptable premise that should be celebrated and enjoyed.

      * the people this would offend should be ignored like we used to.

          I don’t know but I’ll look into it, I haven’t played an Assassin’s Creed game in so long they will probably make an Assassin’s Creed game based on the time period in which I last played one.

      More specifically, the story has to MEAN nothing. It has to curve REALLY CLOSE to interesting ideas and statements only to swerve away just before they actually make you think about a thing.
