the rejection of Assassin’s creed shadows for being a race bait game for American blacks since American Blacks take any culture since theirs is just rap and gang violence is only growing stronger since everyone is agreeing this 130 dollar race bait shouldn’t have been made.

In the early days leftists and Black people said that Ubisoft can shit on Japanese culture since le backlash was from the Whitey. Now Japan and Japanese People finally said this game should be cancelled since its an insult to their culture. The backlash from Japanese people has since grew with each passing day.

Ubisoft pretended that Japan hating on this isn’t happening and some made up conspiracy from evil racists. Well now they have finally responded in a statement directed to Japan.

Ubisoft

To our esteemed Japanese community—a message from the Assassin’s Creed Shadows development team.

First, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for all your support for the Assassin’s Creed series which now has its own history spanning almost 20 years. Over this time, we have explored various settings, time periods, and characters, from an Assassin during the Third Crusade to a Viking in 9^th century England, and countless more.

For many of our team, creating an Assassin’s Creed game set in Feudal Japan has been a long-cherished dream.

Since the announcement of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, we have received many positive reactions, but also some criticism including from you, our Japanese players. We share your passion for history and deeply respect your care for the historical and cultural integrity of your rich heritage. We would like to address a few points to clarify our intentions and creative decisions:

If these guys respected Japan’s culture and heritage they shouldn’t have made this game at all or at least not used Yasuke because American Blacks idolize him more than Japanese People from Japan.

Now they are going to talk down to the country of origin on the topic of authenticity and intent on using a guy that Hoteps worship.

We have put significant effort into ensuring an immersive and respectful representation of Feudal Japan. However, our intention has never been to present any of our Assassin’s Creed games, including Assassin’s Creed Shadows, as factual representations of history, or historical characters. Instead, we aim to spark curiosity and encourage players to explore and learn more about the historical settings we get inspired by.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is first and foremost, designed to be an entertaining video game that tells a compelling, historical fiction set in Feudal Japan.

Our team extensively collaborated with external consultants, historians, researchers, and internal teams at Ubisoft Japan to inform our creative choices. Despite these sustained efforts, we acknowledge that some elements in our promotional materials have caused concern within the Japanese community. For this, we sincerely apologize. All game footage presented so far is in development and the game will keep evolving until launch. Based on the constructive criticism we have received, we will continue our efforts until we put this game into your hands – and beyond.

We also want to clarify that while we have been consulting with many people throughout the development process, they are in no way responsible for the decisions that are taken by the creative teams in the interests of gameplay and entertainment. Consequently, we respectfully request that any criticism not be directed at our collaborators, both internal and external.

They went out of their way to make an authentic experience of the Edo Period which to my opinion is ok. But no one is caring at all about the visuals and how they handled anything else about it. The main backlash is that they are using a black person who was insignificant in Japan’s history and using him to be some hero who kills Japanese people. You can’t defend this by using Animus since there hasn’t been a clear explanation how the Ezio family has linage to a black person in feudal Japan (Origins isn’t proof either since they were Mediterranean’s and not sub-Saharan.)

This whole part is just deflecting the main problem from Japanese people and just going but gameplay and the usual cope of “inspired by real events.”

Creative Liberties and Historical Inspirations: While we strive for authenticity in everything that we do, Assassin’s Creed games are works of fiction inspired by real historical events and figures. From its inception, the series has taken creative license and incorporated fantasy elements to craft engaging and immersive experiences. The representation of Yasuke in our game is an illustration of this. His unique and mysterious life made him an ideal candidate to tell an Assassin’s Creed story with the setting of Feudal Japan as a backdrop. While Yasuke is depicted as a samurai in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, we acknowledge that this is a matter of debate and discussion. We have woven this carefully into our narrative and with our other lead character, the Japanese shinobi Naoe, who is equally important in the game, our dual protagonists provide players with different gameplay styles.

We greatly value your feedback and encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts, respectfully. While we understand that meeting everyone’s expectations is very difficult, we sincerely hope that when Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches on November 15, players in Japan and around the world will appreciate the dedication, effort, and passion we have poured into it.

You can inspire events, but Yasuke was no where near what he is portrayed in this game. His character is only made for Hoteps and Black Diaspora that cope about not having a history and culture beyond gang violence and the N-Word.

Japanese people aren’t going to believe this response and will continue to shit on this race bait trash. It won’t even good for people who don’t care about these issues in games since the franchise as a whole has been down the toilet. Black People won’t even go out and buy this 130 dollar hunk of junk.

Let this game rot in the pit of mid like the rest of Ubisoft. Sit back and watch the people cope and seethe and the game reviewers giving money to Ubisoft thinking they somehow won when they make a video saying how bad it was after their 80 hour sessions.
