Ubisoft's Assassin’s Creed Shadows Trailer Mistakes Feudal Japan for China
Historical mix-up amuses fans, kind of
Ubisoft is facing criticism after releasing a trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows that incorrectly depicted feudal Japan with elements of Chinese architecture from the Tang Dynasty. Fans noticed the error, pointing out traditional Chinese instruments like the xun flute and guzheng featured in the video. Additionally, viewers were amused by a horse displayed in the trailer performing a “moonwalk.”
The trailer has received numerous dislikes, but Ubisoft countered by reportedly flooding the comments with praise from apparent bot accounts. Gamers are humorously anticipating the inclusion of traditional Japanese kumis in future trailers.
