🎮 Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows faces backlash over a figurine depicting a one-legged Tori gate, believed to reference the Nagasaki Atomic bombing, a tragic event in World War II.
😡 Many are questioning Ubisoft's historical accuracy and sensitivity, as this figurine is seen as disrespectful to Japanese culture. The only known one-legged Tori gate is from the aftermath of the atomic bomb, leading to outrage.
📉 Ubisoft has previously made multiple historical inaccuracies in the game, including using a sword from the anime One Piece and including Chinese architecture that doesn't fit the time period.
📝 A petition with thousands of signatures from Japan expresses feelings of disrespect towards the game's portrayal of history. Critics argue that Ubisoft is out of touch and has shown a lack of understanding of the cultural significance of their content.
💔 The game is set to release in November, and the controversy surrounding the one-legged Tori gate has gained significant traction on social media, with over 889 reposts and thousands of likes.
🤔 Critics are questioning Ubisoft's hiring practices, suggesting they may have employed political activists rather than qualified historians, leading to a series of blunders in the game's development.
🚫 Many believe that instead of revising history, Ubisoft should create fictional characters to avoid these controversies. The ongoing mistakes have led to a growing sentiment that Ubisoft is out of touch with their audience.
