Again acknowledging some often-ugly arguments, Ubisoft says it's tackling the "dynamics behind the polarized comments" facing games like Assassin's Creed Shadows with a "player-centric and gameplay-first" approach.
The reveal of Assassin's Creed Shadows' feudal Japan setting and Black protagonist, Yasuke whipped certain corners of the internet into a frenzy over a perceived lack of historical accuracy and forced diversity. There was also a separate debate over whether Yasuke was actually a real-life Samurai (he was), and entirely unrelated to all of that, Ubisoft had to apologize for the unauthorized use of a flag in Shadows' concept art.
