However, not all fans are pleased.
Claims of “wokeness”, as well asreview bombingthe title before it’s even released, have houndedAC Shadowssince its trailer premiere.
Ignore the discourse and just watch theAssassin’s Creed Shadowstrailer.
The vexation of the fandom looks set to continue, too, as now some are taking issue with LGBTQIA+ romance options being included.

You’d think that LGBTQIA+ individuals didn’t live back in feudal Japan, nor that AC has never included romance options before, given the reactions.
Yet, as @DannyRayChamp remarked, “That’s been a mechanic sinceOdyssey.”
Not only is Ubisoft being criticised for being “activists” (as if that’s a slight in some way), but people are moaning you can’t just go around killing in AC titles anymore.
“Oh good lord. We can’t just play a game about assassinations now there’s romance in it for no reason,” tweeted user @wjtkiv.
Another posted, “Definitely not buying this game… or any Ubisoft games ever again.”

Here’s the thing, though: you don’t have to romance anyone if you don’t want to. Romance of any kind isn’t enforced inAC Shadows.
This upset over RPG based gameplay once again reminds us of why we can’t have nice things.
For people not condemning the game over such trivial matters, you can get astellar freebiethat’ll further enhance your playthrough.
