This seems so not needed today. We have a glut of Japanese open world samurai period games.
Nioh 1, and Nioh 2 (preferred the first game)
Sekiro (never played, no weapon and armor pickups made me avoid).
Ghost of Tushima - Awesome game,
Rise of Ronin - Will play eventually, too many other games first.
Its just too much in one setting.
I seen red and I thought , soviet era. That would of been a cool setting. Russian revolution. Play protecting the czar and meat Rasputin as he is invading the queen (or czaress).
Then play both sides of it, as the bolsheviks do their take over. Missions could have you going all over Moscow on the big buildings there.
I guess the they wouldn't do this due to guns being a thing at the time but i think they could of made it work.
If you go back in time there is so many other good settings too, many European settings, still never done, different cities.
Hell a Aztec /conquistador time period would work too.
That being said, I will keep an open mind. As long as its not too woke - If there is a bunch of transsexuals, whites, blacks, Hispanics, etc... intermixed with the Japanese, outside of visiting character, then yeah that would be an instant pass. Also if they lock everything around micros and live service /always online, then im out too.
