Asmongold calls out \u201cinauthentic\u201d Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows for One Piece sword snafu Twitch\/Asmongold\/UbisoftTwitch star Asmongold is accusing Ubisoft of \u201cnot caring\u201d about Japanese culture amid allegations that Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows copied Zoro\u2019s sword from One Piece. Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows has been a controversial title since being announced, with some players taking issue with the portrayal of Yasuke and how Ubisoft is pricing the game. In the lead-up to its release, Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows made an appearance at Japan Expo with an immersive experience containing artifacts and weapons, with one in particular sparking backlash. Amazingly, fans were able to determine that parts of the exhibit were found on Amazon. In addition to a Geisha doll on display being featured on the online retailer\u2019s website, one of the swords on display looked an awful lot like Zoro\u2019s blade from One Piece. During a Twitch stream, Asmongold pointed to this discovery, noting that the sword at Japan Expo featured the exact same symbols as Zoro\u2019s weapon and that Ubisoft didn\u2019t bother to change anything. \u201cI don\u2019t think these people give a f**k about Japanese culture!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cUbisoft is trying to get social justice points and I think the amount of examples people have found out with it being inauthentic\u2026 for example, for [Yasuke\u2019s] boss fight, they start playing hip hop music and then the experts they had were like f**king cuckoo crazy, then they have the sword for this guy and it\u2019s from One Piece.\u201d The streamer continued, adding that while he doesn\u2019t care about Assassin\u2019s Creed games being historically accurate, he doesn\u2019t like how Ubisoft has handled this title. \u201cThe way that it\u2019s presented feels fake,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve said this before, when this game comes out, Yasuke will not even be in the top ten problems with this game.\u201d AC Shadows is currently set to release on November 15, 2024, so Ubisoft will have plenty of time to address the sword backlash. At the time of writing, the company has yet to make a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
