Assassin’s Creed Shadows Faces Comparisons and Controversy
Ubisoft's Japan-set game introduces dual protagonists but struggles with historical accuracy debates and competition from similar titles.
- The game features Yasuke, a historical figure of African origin, and Naoe, a fictional character.
- Fans debate Yasuke's status as a samurai, with some arguing he was merely a retainer.
- Ubisoft's decision to include a Black protagonist in Japan has sparked mixed reactions.
- The dual protagonist feature allows players to switch between characters, similar to Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
- Shadows faces high expectations due to the success of other Japan-set games like Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro.
