Game Under Fire: Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows Triggers Controversy with Over 50,000 Dislikes on YouTube”.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows has sparked controversy in Japan with over 50,000 dislikes on YouTube. The Japanese trailer has been criticized for perpetuating misunderstandings about the nature and role of samurai, which is seen as disrespectful to Japanese culture and history. However, a petition on Change.org with over 45,000 signatures demands the cancellation of the game due to alleged historical and cultural inaccuracies.

The creators of the petition are demanding that Ubisoft immediately cancel the game’s release, citing disrespect to Japanese culture as their reason. The criticism of Assassin’s Creed Shadows primarily focuses on inaccuracies in architecture and depictions of Japanese life. However, it has been revealed that many of the petition signatories are not actually Japanese. For instance, an American soldier stationed in Okinawa expressed offense at Ubisoft’s portrayal of Japanese history and traditions.

Ubisoft is facing backlash from both Japanese and non-Japanese audiences over the alleged cultural inaccuracies in their highly anticipated game. It seems that cultural representation in video games is a sensitive issue, and accurate portrayals are crucial for respecting different cultures. The controversy surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows highlights the importance of careful consideration when creating video games that depict different cultures.
