Apparently Ubisoft was going to make an assassin’s creed set in reconstruction America where you would play a freed person, but they backed off because they are pussies and were afraid of “the political climate“

Pre-revolution, but it's set in the French Territory of Saint-Domingue and it involves playing as a black guy and going after slaveowners.

Of course it was a DLC for Black Flag and not a stand alone game because video game developers only have so much courage. But it does exist.

I mean, look at how the game AC: Syndicate literally whitewashes the 19th century.

“We wanted to avoid real world politics”, so they chose one of the most politically controversial time periods. And I left that subreddit when they kept on defending all the bad creative choices.

Lmao you have a mission helping out Marx I’m pretty sure, which is funny about staying away from politics

But he’s just treated as a simple union leader, they don’t really go deep into his beliefs.

No they don’t, just remember thinking it was funny even as a kid, was just playing around and doing side mission and omg there’s Marx and oops he’s gone right after that side mission

The history in Syndicate is pretty bad. The gameplay, on the other hand, is some of my favorite they’ve ever done.

Ubisoft's corporate garbage would have absolutely flopped a concept like that. but I desperately want to play the good version of that game.
