In Ubisoft 's newest video game , Assassin's Creed Red , the historical character Yasuke plays a major role. Yasuke, a Samurai and real person who lived during the times of feudal Japan , will be the first Assassin's Creed protagonist to be based on a true story . Yasuke's story, however, has undergone changes to align with the style and direction of the game.

According to information obtained by Insider Gaming, Yasuke begins his journey as an African slave, but survives an attack on the ship he was traveling on. His beloved is killed, but he survives and arrives in Japan, where he is trained in the ways of the Samurai under the returning warlord Nobunaga.
Theories about Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Red first emerged after an exclusive report earlier this year, which confirmed that the game would have two main playable characters.
