An Assassin’s Creed game set in feudal Japan may be mana for fans of the stealth-action series, but it has become a nightmare for developer Ubisoft.
The French gaming giant is battling to repair the damage after accusations of historical inaccuracy and cultural insensitivity engulfed the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows.This being the internet, however, some of the claims are overblown (and on the toxic side).
Shadows has mainly come under fire from gaming-chair conspiracy theorists who think developers are teaming up with “woke” consultants to make games more progressive (perish the thought!).
While those claims have been debunked by the game makers themselves, the furore refuses to die down on places like X which (let’s face it) is a haven for dubious opinion-havers, to put it politely.
Some of the game’s most vocal critics claim Shadows is part of this hidden agenda because its protagonist, a Black man named Yasuke, was never a samurai in real life. The only problem is, he actually was, according to plenty of historians, including Japan’s very own Yu Hirayama.
Historians claim Yasuke was an African man who lived in Japan during the 16th century, and gained fame as a samurai in the service of the powerful feudal lord Oda Nobunaga. While details about his life are scarce, historical records, primarily from Jesuit missionaries, confirm his existence.
Ironically, the game’s other playable character (a female named Naoe) is, in fact, completely fictional and not based on a real ninja – but no one seems as miffed about that.
Just so we’re clear, all of this drama is over a game no one has actually played yet.
