🐠 Become a MEMBER of The Reef at http://ClownfishMinus.com Ubisoft delayed Assassin’s Creed: Shadows from November 2024 to February 2025 to address Japanese cultural and historical accuracy concerns and fix major gameplay issues. Ubisoft’s $200-400 million game titles are financially unsustainable, requiring multi-million sales within the first few months to recoup costs. Star Wars: Outlaws underperformed with only 1 million copies sold in its first month despite a $200 million budget, causing alarm at Ubisoft. Historical accuracy issues in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows potentially stemmed DEI consultants overruling Japanese historical experts, leading to panicked rework after Japanese backlash. Ubisoft pushed forward with Star Wars: Outlaws’ release despite clear warning signs of poor development, including a disastrous launch and day one patch. Ubisoft’s shares at $2 and the delay of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows to February 2025 indicate a desperate need to refine the game and avoid further financial panic. ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ClownfishMinus.com ➡️ Audio Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/ClownfishTV ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Official Clownfish TV subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClownfishTVOfficial/ Assassin’s Creed Shadows is facing delays and backlash over cultural accuracy concerns regarding the portrayal of Yasuke, leading to potential changes in his role and the game’s release timeline. 00:00 Assassin’s Creed Shadows is delayed to February, possibly due to concerns over including Yasuke amid Ubisoft’s recent struggles and YouTube’s channel deletions. 02:21 Assassin’s Creed Shadows faces backlash over Yasuke’s portrayal, prompting Ubisoft to withdraw from the Tokyo game show and potentially alter his role due to a delay until February 2025. 04:28 Star Wars Outlaws faced poor public reception and disappointing sales, prompting internal concerns among developers about its future. 05:37 Assassin’s Creed Shadows is delayed to 2025 as the team addresses cultural accuracy concerns, but Yasuke will remain in the game with adjustments to his story. 09:23 Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be delayed until November 2024 due to unresolved gameplay issues, despite pressure for early sales before its February 2025 release. 12:19 Yasuke’s legitimacy as a Samurai is questionable, and modern media often misrepresents Japanese history, causing backlash against foreign video game companies for cultural inaccuracies. 14:38 Yasuke’s role in Assassin’s Creed Shadows faces backlash for cultural insensitivity, prompting potential delays and changes amid concerns over rushed development for profit. 17:41 Join clownfishminus.com for exclusive content, discounts, and community engagement!
