Ghost of Tsushima portrayed that concept better of the Japanese resisting the oppression of the Mongols invading, this is rewriting history to apply present day politics to a past historical setting.
It wouldn't surprise me if they did this because a Japanese AC setting was asked for since AC2 (as the Italian renaissance setting really opened up ideas of where else to set it) and Japan itself is holding more media dominance because their media is still meritocratic so thought they'd use the increase interest in Japan to shove in leftist ideology. Too bad Ghost of Tsushima came out first so they can't be the only game in town for 'Japanese assassin gameplay'
Not a chance in hell, you'd be waiting for Ubisoft to go bankrupt than than them selling IP, NO studio nowadays sells IP, the most you get is franchise rights.
You're better off having the mechanics of AC you enjoy but a completely different story and setting.

Hopefully this'll crash and burn like Dr Who.
Any way we can hope they would just sell off the IP to someone who might actually make a good AC game for once? How bad would it have to tank?

So Shadows of Mordor.
Pretty much, don't know where you would set it as those mechanics have been used a lot in different themes and settings.
