Assassin's Creed Shadows - Yasuke confirmed Samurai, cope and seethe - coming February 14th

[JarlFrank]

As far as i remember Ass Creed was always woke.

Story-wise, yes, but they actually cared about presenting historical cities with accurate layouts and architecture.
For the nigger in Japan game, they didn't, so you won't even get to parkour through the streets of a centuries-old city like you could in the previous games.

 

[Konjad]

Assassins Creed games aren't stealth games, they're historical parkour games.
I enjoy the older titles because it's fun to run through an ancient city and climb up its tallest buildings.

Shadows is gonna be a shit Assassins Creed game precisely because it has no historical research. The ones set in Italy tried to accurately portray several renaissance cities according to city plans of the time. The ones in Paris and London were great, too. The ancient Egypt and Greece ones even bragged about their historical accuracy by having museum modes or something.

And now, with Shadows, the devs (who are, I would be willing to bet, largely not the same people who worked on the previous games) completely shat the bed when it comes to historical research. Japanese fans already pointed out dozens of inaccuracies when it comes to architecture and design, and it's not even just small details, but egregious mistakes that nobody who pays even a modicum of attention should make. IIRC the game is set in the 17th century, but some homes contain artworks from the 19th century. Not just any artworks, but well-known ones which you could check on fucking wikipedia. Also, some of the architecture apparently isn't even Japanese but Chinese or Korean, because the 3D modelers just thought "lol all Asian architecture is the same". Shameful display.

They focused so much on shoehorning a nigger into medieval Japan that they completely forgot about researching the actual history of the place, so the main appeal of an Assassins Creed game (historical parkour) is now ruined.

It's a shame they make Japan look Korean/Chinese. They should have shown Japan as it really was at the time:

Sad that nobody gave two shits when European history and Christendom had been defaced and rewritten in pretty much every game.

A reminder:

Life hack: If you're getting to know someone who is always reminding you what a good person they are - run away before they do something horrible to you.

Damn straight. Good people don't spend time talking about how good they are; they just act in accordance with their character and expect others to respond accordingly. Someone constantly talking up their own virtue is trying to convince themselves first and foremost.

They could be incredibly neurotic or validation-seeking but yeah it's definitely weird.

In 1929 Oyabe published his book, Nihon oyobi Nihon kokumin no kigen (The Origins of Japan and the Japanese People), in which he claimed that the Japanese were the descendants of the Jewish tribes of Gad and Menashe, known for their military valor. The Japanese word mikado, according to Oyabe, is composed of the prefix mi (honorable) and gaddo, the Japanese pronunciation of the Hebrew Gad. Therefore the imperial family descended from the Jewish tribe of Gad, one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.

Assassin's Creed: Shadows is literally about a brown person illegally immigrating to Japan and decapitating Jews

very diverse and inclusive

Ubisoft Cancels Assassin's Creed Shadows Early Access
[Emphasis added]
If Assassin's Creed Shadows had stayed on schedule, it would have been released in just under a month. Instead, Shadows was pushed back to an early 2025 release. Now, players who purchase the Assassin’s Creed Shadows collector’s edition won't be getting early access to the game.

As reported by Insider Gaming, Ubisoft confirmed the cancelation of Assassin's Creed Shadows' early access during a Discord Q&A session. The company also reiterated it will not be moving forward with its plans of implementing season passes. Consequently, the price of Assassin’s Creed Shadows collector’s edition will be dropping from $280 to $230. The collector's edition will still come with a steelbook, an artbook, a statue, and more. However, there may be additional changes to those products before the final release.

The report indicates that these late changes may "be inspired by the issues Ubisoft has had thus far maintaining historical accuracy and cultural representation." That was one of the given reasons for the game's delay in a previous report, in addition to a request from Shadows' developer Ubisoft Quebec to have more time to polish the game before its release.

Additionally, there's been word that Ubisoft Quebec may be adding a co-op mode to Assassin's Creed Shadows. Presumably this will allow two players to fight side-by-side as the game's dual protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke. But given the delay of the game, that feature may not be ready by launch.

Assassin's Creed Shadows will hit PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 14, 2025.

Other than brand notoriety, is there any reason why so many Assassin's Creed games have been released ? From what I've seen, it seems that many of them don't put much emphasis on having you behave like an assassin (ie, being stealthy and avoiding open fights).

Assassin's Creed refers to the Hashishin order, not the modern meaning of the term. Many Hashishin were regular soldiers despite the organization's notoriety for secret murder.
