Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes the franchise to 16th century Japan as players will step into the roles of a Japanese shinobi, Naoe, and – in a series first – a real-life historical samurai, Yasuke.
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
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.
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.
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? 😂
Assassin's Creed Shadows is introducing a new Spy Network feature, and it could offer something the franchise's stealth has been sorely missing.
I love the setting. But I really dislike Ubisoft and their practices. If I play this game it wlll be when it’s nearing the bargain bin or in it.
