“Our intention has never been to present any of our games as factual representations of history” Ubisoft has released a statement after footage of Assassin’s Creed Shadows drew criticism for how it depicted Feudal Japan. Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes place in the Feudal era of Japan (1185 – 1603) and follows two different characters; shinobi assassin Naoe and samurai Yasuke. Yasuke is named after a historical figure known as “ the black samurai ” who lived in Japan during the Sengoku period.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is due for release later this year but the game has already received a lot of criticism for how it’s portraying an era of Japanese history. Fans have found a number of historical inaccuracies with architecture, flags and design while the inclusion of a Black character in a game set in Asia has also sparked conversation about representation. Since the game was first announced, a number of fans have also brought Yasuke’s status as a samurai into question, despite leading historians saying there is no debate about his status .
