Assassin’s Creed has always been in the core of our hearts. Whenever a new installment pops out, the excitement level goes to a whole new level. Just like the Assassin’s Creed Red. Ubisoft officially revealed this title in September 2022. However, since then, it’s just rumors and leaks about the game.
However, a recent leak has sparked some dissatisfaction among the fans regarding race, instead of fueling more excitement. This leak showcases the Assassin’s Creed Red main menu. But somehow it might have hurt people’s feelings as well.
The Newest Assassin’s Creed Red Leak Sparks Controversy
In a now-deleted post, credible leaker Game Pass Tracker shared a screenshot of the newest addition to the Assasin’s Creed franchise. According to previous leaks and also this screenshot, Assassin’s Creed Red is going to feature two protagonists, one of whom is a samurai. The game is based on a feudal Japanese setting. So, this roster is quite understandable.
African samurai? You fucking kidding me? I know Sasuke exists before some snowflakw says something but can we stop putting black peoplw in every era of a movie and game and pretend that it's ACCURATE? They are doing this in Greek and Viking stories. Holy shit stop it already

But the screenshot shows a black samurai, who might be of African origin. And that’s what has triggered the fans the most.
According to some fans, it’s not appropriate to think that putting black people in every era of a movie or game is accurate. This fan has also claimed that this has also been done in Greek and Viking stories as well.
They get more goofy to the point that it insults races.

Not only that, but this fan also thinks this game is insulting races.
What We Got to Know From the Assassin’s Creed Red Main Menu?
As we see in the screenshot of the main menu of the game, there will be two protagonists, named Naoe, who is going to be a female character, and one African Samurai whose name is rumored to be Yasuki. According to this leak, this screenshot was taken on the 3rd of this month.
This screenshot also revealed that the game was running on an Xbox Series X at a resolution of 1080p at 30 fps. Talking about other graphical settings, Quality mode was selected and raytracing was turned off. This Quality mode sheds some hope for the fans, as they believe there will be a Performance mode as well, which will let fans enjoy the title at 60 fps.
One of the most exciting aspects of the main menu is that it provides a ‘Select Season’ option. That means there is a high chance that Assassin’s Creed Red is going to be a live-service title.
Assassin’s Creed Red is sparking anticipation day by day. But it is also becoming a cause of disgust for a lot of fans, as according to them, it is disrespecting the races.
