But Yasuke has feudal Japan hip hop battle music

Can't subvert that

got_dam26d ago

I mean, samurai shamploo has a mostly hip hop soundtrack if I remember right. No opinion on the game itself, just saying there is a real world example of hip-hop samurai entertainment made by the Japanese.

Well has AC ever had non historically accurate music in its Animus sections?

And samurai Champloo doesn't give a greelight to use rap in every japanese setting game. If rap was playing when you encountered youske in Nioh 2 it would be cringe and the people calling it ok for AC shadows would call it racist in Nioh 2.

Daeloki25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

AC hasn't been historically accurate in years, and the last two have had magic stuff in them. Having modern influenced music in them hardly seems like a big deal at this point.
Edit: By the last two I mean Odyssey and Valhalla, didn't play Mirage

Already sold on both!

November can´t come soon enough.

This game definitely looks great so far and will satisfy those who have been waiting for an Assassin's Creed game set within Feudal Japan.
