Really interesting news and we will be watching and waiting. Today, Ubisoft revealed the title of the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Stay tuned for the game’s full reveal on May 15th.
TNS: "Ubisoft issued a statement regarding Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows and apologized to the Japanese community."
So....."The Tyranny of George Washington" wasn't a problem....but Yasuke is? Gotcha
Wasn’t that a vision made by the Apple of Eden to show a possible future?
Washington rejects it once he’s free of the vision, claiming he never wanted it then tells his men to dump it into the sea.
I don't think the Japanese population really cares about how Ubisoft decides to represent Washington this is a letter addressed to their Japanese player base directly and government
Sad thing is DEI makes money...Ubisoft knows this a small apology letter means nothing to them.
Will we also be getting an apology from Japan and Platinum Games for their map of the United States in Bayonetta? The Shaft and Joe Pesci stereotypes were one thing, but they couldn't even get the map correct and had most of New England as part of Canada. It looked like something a kindergartner would draw.
Nope Japanese culture don't play these pander games that everyone else will. You get what you get and don't get upset there
Richard Bailey of The Koalition writes: Assassin’s Creed Shadows was revealed as a cinematic world premiere trailer on May 15th. Set within feudal Japan and fixated on two playable protagonists in Naoe and Yasuke, I fully expected Shadows to be another typical Assassin’s Creed game with only a few key changes to enhance the overall experience.
This game definitely looks great so far and will satisfy those who have been waiting for an Assassin's Creed game set within Feudal Japan.
In case you don’t believe me, check out its comment history. Then it’ll be more obvious.
There are so many of these accounts:
"can't wait for this title"
"gonna pre order this one".
"day one"
Apparently, it's not acceptable to like assassins creed right now. Fortunately, the loud minority does not represent most buyers.
So many upset racist dummies. Lol @ y'all 🤡and I hope the game does great 😉.
Another? Lol look i have nothing against Shadows unlike lot of other people but when the f was AC a hard hitting classic? 16 years ago? 😂
A Ubisoft game being a hard-hitting classic is already pretty much impossible. And an Assassin's Creed game being one? Come on, it's going to be the same wishy-washy open world with a ton of the same old objectives as the last games. The only difference is the coat of paint.
Like, don't get me wrong. Their games aren't necessarily bad, but they are so absurdly formulaic that I wouldn't be surprised if some sports games ended up with more variation between releases than Ubisoft franchises.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is introducing a new Spy Network feature, and it could offer something the franchise's stealth has been sorely missing.
So likely a CGI trailer. And maybe the obligatory edition pricing to get ahead of criticism.
Another one, huh?
Microtransactions hiding in every shadow.
If it was AC Shady it would be based on France while you uncover Ubisoft questionable business practices.
i expect nothing different, same bs... bloated side quests and a poor story, i'd be amazed if they truly change the formula and deliver, then again... no expectations
