Ubisoft Contradicts Itself With New Statement!

Story Highlight
  • Assassin’s Creed Shadows is currently the most controversial game.
  • Ubisoft recently issued a statement defending the game, saying Assassin’s Creed titles don’t represent factual history.
  • The studio’s latest statement contradicts its earlier words, which implied that it goes for an accurate depiction of history and events.

Ubisoft finally addressed the Assassin’s Creed Shadows controversy regarding Yasuke’s authenticity yesterday. However, Japanese fans didn’t like the statement, as Ubisoft was defending Yasuke instead of apologizing up front.

Some fans have even pointed out contradictions in the statement. The publisher said that Assassin’s Creed does not represent actual history. However, it was previously stated that Assassin’s Creed Shadows portrays accurate historical events.

Why it matters: Ubisoft’s attempt at addressing the controversy seems to have backfired, spawning another wave of criticism.

Ubisoft Previously Advertised Assassin’s Creed Shadows As A Historically Accurate Game

Users on Twitter have taken it upon themselves to discuss Ubisoft’s latest statement, leading to various interesting discoveries. As Majewely points out, the publisher made a completely different statement a while ago.

During a previous interview, Ubisoft said that Assassin’s Creed games are well known to show history accurately and that the latest entry would be no exception.

Assassin’s Creed is well known for its depiction of the history and accurate recreation of the world. It’s what players can expect with Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The claim included the fact that real historical figures such as Oda Nobunaga were shown in the game. However, the problem comes from the next part. Ubisoft previously said that many events from that time would also be shown.

Fans will not only be able to play in feudal Japan but also learn about this time period. This whole statement contradicts what Ubisoft said in its latest post.

The company said that it never intended to present any of the Assassin’s Creed games as a factual representation of history or real characters. This goes against the past interview and explains why the Japanese fandom is furious about the game.

It doesn’t seem like this controversy will stop anytime soon. If anything, it will probably continue to grow as more people join the discussion. With this controversy being a national issue in Japan, the Japanese government might even get involved.

Still, Ubisoft is unlikely to make any changes to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game is too far along in development to make effective changes without a significant delay, which would lead to huge losses for the studio.
