Ubisoft Japan apologized for the stolen symbolism in Assassin's Creed: Shadows
The Japanese X-account of Ubisoft published a post with apologies regarding the historical inaccuracy in Assassin's Creed: Shadows. Last month, Japanese reenactors from the Sekigahara Teppo Corps discovered that the developers had placed their flag on the concept art of the game and demanded its removal.
On July 8, the company reported that it had already apologized to the organization. They promised not to use images with the flag, but they will be included in the artbook of the collector's edition.
