Controversy is brewing in the gaming world! 😮 A petition demanding the cancellation of Assassin's Creed Shadows is gaining significant traction online! Currently, the petition has nearly 73,000 signatures, with over 3,000 added today alone. The controversy centers around the game's protagonists: female shinobi Naoe and African samurai Yasuke. While Yasuke was a real-life historical figure, some fans are unhappy about his portrayal, and others are upset simply because he is black. The petition, organized by Shimizu Toru on Change.org, criticizes the game for historical inaccuracies and deems it a "serious insult" to Japanese culture, even accusing it of racism. Despite the growing number of signatures, it’s highly unlikely that this petition will lead to the game's cancellation. Most video game petitions fail to impact development, and Assassin's Creed Shadows is still set for a worldwide release on November 15. It's important to note that the Assassin's Creed series has never aimed for perfect historical accuracy. The franchise is known for blending historical settings with fictional stories and sci-fi elements. As such, the game will likely continue as planned. What are your thoughts on this controversy?
