We have already informed you about attacks, under which the developers of Assassin's Creed Shadows found themselves. But today we can write io more democratic expressing disapproval of the new installment of the successful series.
INJapan arose petition to cancel game development. At the time of writing, she has surpassedthreshold of 30 thousand signatures. He specifically aims his criticism at the most criticized aspect of the game, the choice and characterization of one of the protagonists, specifically Black Samurai Yasuke. Although it is about real characterhis role as a samurai is questioned by many.
“Ubisoft doesn't understand the nature and role of samurai. This is a serious insult to Japanese culture and history, it may even be related to Asian racism,” reads the petition, which calls for respect for Japanese culture by canceling the game. They argue that the samurai were “gokenin” – direct vassals of the shogun. Yasuke served under the warlord Nobunaga. But you are his story Ubisoft s will most likely adjust. But that doesn't appeal to players who want historical accuracy after Assassin's Creed. It should also be added that the meaning of the word gokenin has changed over the years.
Assassin's Creed Shadows caused the wrath of players already in the first leaks. He got the announcement trailer much more thumbs down than likes, even in Japan, where this petition was created. But he is already collecting signatures from players in the West. They also claim that Ubisoft is being racist, that Yasuke was not a samurai and that he would they preferred to play for an Asian.
