i dont know much about the series, but i was watching and reading about assassin's creed 3 and the main character is a half red indian who wants revenge because evil white colonialists burned down his tribe's village and the bad guys are racist White colonialists. Also his mother is some grumpy girlboss chick. She's like Pocahontas if Pocahontas had an obnoxious and unpleasent personality and a permanent resting bitch face.
was this series always woke or something?
I wouldn't say woke, at least to begin with, I'd say it directly correlates to writing and character quality.
Like the first and Ezio trilogy wasn't woke, 3 I'd argue wasn't just their main character was bland as fuck, Black Flag despite having Black and Women pirates wasn't that woke as in history pirates were kinda like that hell they had better democracies than we do.
This is the point I jumped off the franchise so don't have first hand knowledge but it seems like a change in present day main character got the woke seeping in as writing quality declined and that's what led to our current situation.
