Ubisoft Says Answer To ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Backlash Was Convincing Fans It Was “More Of A Video Game Than A Message” 

"According to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, the massive wave of backlash met by Assassin’s Creed Shadows at the time of its announcement was a wake-up call for the studio, who realized that the only path forward for the embattled game was to convince the series’ longtime fans that the game was more than just a textbook example of ‘message over substance’."

"“Assassin’s Creed has always been about exploring the full spectrum of human history, and by its very nature, that history is diverse. Staying true to history means embracing the richness of human perspectives – without compromise. For example, in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, we highlight figures, both fictional like Naoe, a Japanese woman warrior, and historical, like Yasuke, the African born samurai. While the inclusion of a Black samurai in feudal Japan has sparked questions and even controversy, Naoe, as a fictional character, has also faced scrutiny for her gender."

nice doubling down faggot

"“But just as Yasuke’s presence in Japanese history is fact, so too are the stories of women who defied societal expectations and took up arms in times of conflict. So while both Naoe and Yasuke’s stories are works of historical fiction, they reflect the collision of different worlds, cultures and roles, and their inclusion is precisely the kind of narrative that Assassin’s Creed seeks to tell, one that reflects the complexity and interconnectedness of our shared history."

and oh baby a tipple

"“And this isn’t new ground for the franchise. From Altaïr [AC1] to Aveline de Grandpré (Liberation) to Ratonhnhaké:ton [AC3], we’ve consistently introduced protagonists from diverse racial, ethnic and gender identities. History is inherently diverse, and so is Assassin’s Creed and the stories we tell. So to be clear, our commitment to inclusivity is grounded in historical authenticity and respect for diverse perspectives, not driven by modern agendas.”"

next AC will have "historical authentic" black transsexual furrys or better yet retcon ezio into being black and gay he is italian after all :kek_pain:

I find it extremely entertaining that since Shadow's announcement, the English kikepedia page for Yasuke is now being 24/7 jannied by some random fag who in turn has been attempting to put DeepL translations into the Japanese page, with a VPN attempting to look like the edits are coming from Japan, and keeps getting BTFO by Japs who are telling him it is simply not true and how they can tell he's a gaijin by how he types. I wonder how much more rewritten history Ubisoft will convince eternal gigafaggots to fall on a sword for.
