- Assassin’s Creed Shadows was recently delayed so Ubisoft could further polish it.

Recently, due to the failure of Stars War Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows was delayed until next year. The developers are now working on a game and polishing it to perfection.
However, recently, a rumor surfaced online stating that a Japanese male was originally featured in the game as the main lead. This raised many concerns, and fans were wondering whether Ubisoft will be replacing Yasuke now.
Now, one of the most reliable insiders has spoken on this topic and said that Yasuke would not be getting replaced, but Ubisoft is working on addressing the historical and cultural concerns.
Why it matters: Yasuke is the main reason for all of this controversy surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and so many were wondering whether he will be removed from the game.
Recently, a YouTuber revealed that he had spoken to some insiders, claiming that the game could be delayed further. So, due to this, many speculated that with another delay, Ubisoft could have enough time to change the main lead.
However, one of the most reliable industry insiders has revealed that no delay is currently planned, and Yasuke won’t be replaced. He said that the team is working on polishing the game and will be addressing the historical and cultural inaccuracies.

The insider has a solid track record in the industry, so what he says is believable. He has claimed that while the main lead won’t be changing, the studio will change his story and his portrayal. Also, some architectural details will be fixed with developers ensuring that the game is historically grounded.
He also revealed that these issues mainly occurred because Ubisoft brought historical experts much later. There was also miscommunication between the team, so without proper teamwork and historical experts, the game was bound to be delayed.
The insider has also revealed that while the pre-orders don’t match Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, they are still pretty strong and that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is likely to sell well.
