Story Highlight
  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally coming out in three days.
  • It appears that Ubisoft is planning to protect the developers from online harassment.
  • The team has implemented a plan to work with the Canadian Communications Security Establishment against online harassment.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is just around the corner, as the title is finally coming out on March 20 after multiple delays.

While the developers have high hopes for the record results, and the title is currently the second best-selling on Amazon Japan, Ubisoft is also preparing to deal with the negativity.

It has been reported that Ubisoft plans to protect developers from online harassment. The team is already working with lawyers to monitor networks and act accordingly.

Why it matters: This was a must-take step for Ubisoft, as fans have already criticized the game, and it is likely to receive even more hate during the launch period.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Is Finally Coming Out On March 20.

A recent report from Tech & Co suggests that Ubisoft plans to protect developers from harassment during the launch period of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The plan will offer psychological and legal support to the developers while collaborating with the Canadian Communications Security Establishment (CSE) to fight against harassment.

It’s an initiative from Canada. There’s a team that monitors networks and acts quickly in the event of a targeted attack.

He further stated that this is more serious than anything Ubisoft has done in the past to address harassment.

Unlike what we’ve had before, this is serious.

The CSE will look closely at the tweets posted by users online, on Reddit, and even on YouTube videos and will respond quickly. Ubisoft has previously removed videos from YouTubers against the title, so it’s likely to happen again during the launch week.
