Ubisoft cancels Assassins Creed game set during the US civil-war

Ubisoft reportedly cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set around the American Civil War because of Yasuke backlash and political turmoil in the US

The game was meant to take primarily during the Reconstruction era, and would have featured a Black assassin confronting the emergence of the Ku Klux Klan.

This sounds like it would've been great, just a shame that they had to cancel it. Also unsurprising they seem to miss the point about why people were mad about yasuke.
It wasn't because he was black (mostly), but because they made him into a more significant figure than he ever actually was, and tried rewriting history to justify it. And also you put him in a place he didn't belong.
People never had an issue with the black guy in Black Flag, or his spinoff, Freedom Cry.
A black assassin set during the civil war is the perfect time period for one.

It's a pretty intriguing setting, but let's be honest here. Ubisoft would find some way to fuck it up big time.
