YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
>AC Shadows originally featured a Japanese male protagonist, and even the character design, original artwork, and animation were done, but after the George Floyd incident in 2020 led to the outbreak of the BLM movement, the character of the game was switched to Yasuke. Although it is not known if Ubisoft executives had the idea of pandering to social mores, Ubisoft grassroots employees and designers reacted poorly to the main character's change to Yasuke;
>Pre-orders for AC Shadows were only 7% of Valhalla's, which stunned Ubisoft executives
Because of the huge jap backlash they're making some changes that employees have leaked
>Rap music used during Yasuke's battles is confirmed to be removed
>Yasuke would have made a lot of “current” politically correct statements in the game, such as bashing white people and opposing white supremacy (white supremacy in Japan?). These statements will be removed as well
I hate the modern west so much sometimes
