previously, gamersky reported that japanese players launched a petition on the petition website change.org, asking ubisoft to cancel the release of "assassin's creed: shadow". the reason is that the game has a lot of content and does not conform to historical facts at all. after more than 90,000 people signed the petition, this number has reached a new high recently and is still on the rise.

as of now, the number of players who have signed the petition is about to exceed 105,000, and the next petition target is 150,000.

the petition reads: "recently, assassin's creed: shadow, which is planned to be launched by game developer ubisoft, has serious problems in historical accuracy and cultural respect. the game is based on the theme of japanese samurai, ignoring the fact that the samurai class should be an upper class serving the samurai or nobles. in fact, william adams (miura anjin), the first european to be awarded the title of samurai, served tokugawa ieyasu as a hatamoto (referring to the guards under the main general on the battlefield) with a salary of 250 koku. in this historical context, ubisoft continues to misunderstand the nature and role of samurai, which is a serious insult to japanese culture and history, and may cause racial discrimination against asians."

the petition further calls for: "we demand that ubisoft immediately stop the release of assassin's creed: shadow of war and conduct a sincere investigation and respect for japanese history and culture. your signature is very important, please sign this petition to convey to ubisoft the importance of cultural respect and historical accuracy."

it is reported that "assassin's creed: shadow" is the first game in the series to be launched only on ps5 and xsx|s console platforms, completely abandoning the previous generation. this game will be released on november 15 this year.
