Ghosts of Yotei looks so much better than the Assasins creed shadows.
However.....
I think it has something to do with the PR stunt of useing that One-Leg Torii gate, that backfired on them.

Lmao. I wanted to share that so badly but didn't want to unintentionally cause more meltdowns over this topic. But since you already brought it up...

-be Ubisoft again
-releases another Assassin's Creed Shadow figurine set
-uses a One-Leg Torii as the backdrop for it
-the only known instance of a One-Leg Torii is the Sanno Shrine...which is a remnant/reminder of the Nagasaki incident from...1945

Ubisoft you just...I can't… pic.twitter.com/jYZhIQMftC

You truly have to admire Ubisoft's dedication to making this the 'most historically accurate Assassin's Creed to date'.

There's no way they are getting away with that one, holy shit that's...oof.

Them deciding not to make amends with the Japanese region, but also selling that merch with the destroyed Tori is just going to piss them off even more.

How the hell is Ubisoft not fact checking Japanese history. I'm pretty sure the last fucking thing the Japanese want to be reminded of when Playing an old Era Japanese period is to be reminded of WWII and the Atomic bombings.
