I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to come out about a month and a half from now on November 12, 2024. But now there are strange things happening that Ubisoft is not really explaining very well in regard to previews of the game ahead of launch, brining into question whether it will actually hit that date.
First, Ubisoft announced that it would not in fact showcase Assassin’s Creed Shadows at the Tokyo Game Show as previously planned. This is the statement they made on Twitter: “We regret to inform you that due to various circumstances, we have decided to cancel our online participation in Tokyo Game Show 2024 which was scheduled to start at 3:00 PM on September 26th.”The situation comes in the wake of some level of turmoil at Ubisoft with Star Wars Outlaws not exactly being the megahit they hoped it would be, and multiplayer project XDefiant appearing to not be panning out all that well. This, among other issues,Ubisoft’s market cap is now only $1.
The game has drawn fire from the “DEI” crowd saying that featuring Yasuke, a black samurai is “woke,” though that likely has little to do with anything going on here. Ubisoft did apologize to the Japanese community about “promotional materials” for the game, and also called Yasuke a “matter of debate and discussion” in terms of him being a samurai, citing the fact that the games take “creative license.
