From the trailer he just seems so terribly out of place. Also, it’s bullshit to have a samurai in Japan in a game about assassins when they had fucking ninjas, the Japanese equivalent of assassins.
The AC games haven’t been about covert assassination since Syndicate. They’re much more focused on open combat now, and playing a samurai fits that better. Yeah, it’s pretty stupid that a game series about assassins isn’t really about assassination anymore, but that’s where they’re at.
If we are talking about ethnicity, there were huge liberties taken. I think a few of the romans were actually Italian but no one else was close to plausible.

I wasn’t really following it but didn’t Mirage go back to its roots somewhat?
Origin was still about stealth and assassinations. It’s only Odyssey and Valhalla that broke away from it.
I’d wager there’s no accurate historical depiction in any media.
Everything is stylized or fictionalized to some degree.
Maybe The Passion of the Christ is closest I can think of as they did all the speech in Aramaic and Old Latin

I haven’t seen the film and don’t plan to, but most Romans weren’t Italian by that point, especially in the military.
He’s for players like me who like to hit stuff, not sneak around. There’s another stealth main character for people who wanna be sneaky.
So it’s like in Syndicate? That’s cool
