Ubisoft apologized to the Japanese for historical inaccuracies in Assassin's Creed: Shadows

Ubisoft has finally responded to the heated controversy surrounding Assassin's Creed: Shadows and published a lengthy post with apologies. The company asked for forgiveness from the Japanese community and acknowledged that some of the criticism was justified.

According to the developers, they are actively collaborating with consultants, historians, and the Japanese office, and they treat the country's culture with great respect. At the same time, the company reminded that Assassin's Creed: Shadows, like any other part of the franchise, remains a work of fiction.

Separately, Ubisoft commented on the situation with Yasuke. The company understands that in reality, the African might not have been a true samurai, but his unique story provides a vast space for creativity.

Assassin's Creed: Shadows will be released on November 15 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5.
