Following the initial announcement ofAssassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has managed to draw the ire of several different groups of haters.
Sexists aren’t too happy you can play as a woman, racists aren’t too happy you can play as a black man, and sexist racists definitely aren’t happy you can play as a Japanese woman.

What did bother them was that the group were not contacted at any point beforehand for permission, which was particularly frustrating for the group considering their flag will still feature in the artbook regardless. They did however state that they hope the matter will be resolved “peacefully”, and that they were currently waiting for further comment from Ubisoft representatives.
Fans of the Assassin’s Creed games were quick to voice their concerns with Ubisoft Japan’s apology on their Twitter post, but unfortunately it’s difficult to discern between who is upset and why. Some fans voicing their outrage are clearly genuinely upset with Ubisoft for the mistake, but others are undoubtedly using the blunder as another excuse to pile on the game for its two main protagonists.
