Cancelled because a black man killing the Klan, after all the morons complaining about Yasuke, was going to be too controversial of a video game in our (Americans’) “unstable” country.

Fuck yes. A slave that takes on the slave owning Templar? Sign me up all day, I want to run into a confederate camp and crush them.
This would be quite the game and I can see the far right bitching about it for sure. But man, I want to see an Assassin Lincoln. Imagine that? Tall boy Lincoln dawning an Assassin’s hood? Would make me actually excited for a Ubisoft AC title again. After the let down that was shadows, I might explore the Witch AC coming up…but nothing else excites me from them.
They would complain, and it would be a self report… If you’re offended by a slave killing slaveowners, then you’re a piece of shit and nobody should fucking care what you think.
Freedom Cry, the standalone expansion for Black Flag, was essentially this concept in the Carribean. You play as Adewale, a slave turned pirate turned Assassin, and liberate plantations.
AC is so moldy Ubisoft could only get me excited with a nice big Grow Home / Up sequel with no microtransactions, no ingame shop and everything unlockable through playing.
Lincoln would be cool to see in flashbacks, but I don’t think he’d have been a good assassin at the time of his death. It’d have been sick, shame that Ubisoft is full of pussies.
Just make him the wise old mentor, easy
