Japanese gamers are in no hurry to pre-order Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin's Creed Shadows has come under fire, and the controversy seems to be intensifying with each new release. Some Japanese users generally found the game too offensive due to changes in the story made by Ubisoft.

There is not a single reliable source that could confirm that Yasuke was indeed a samurai who worked under Oda Nobunaga. Therefore, controversy erupted over this supposed samurai.

Because of this, many expected the game to fail in Japan at launch, and it looks like it will be so. Assassin's Creed Shadows is having a hard time collecting pre-orders in Japan.

According to Amazon, just over 100 people have pre-ordered the physical PS5 version over the past month, which suggests that it is not is popular in Japan. More precisely, she is popular in the country, but not in a good way. So, even a big franchise like Assassin's Creed can sometimes fail?

Ubisoft's recent game Star Wars Outlaws also failed to live up to the publisher's expectations and Ubisoft shares fell to a 10-year low.

Some people think that Assassin's Creed Shadows will also be a failure. Perhaps the only way to save Ubisoft is through remakes of Assassin's Creed.

However, there is still time before the game is released, so it is too early to consider it a failure. One of the reliable insiders previously reported that pre-orders are showing good results, so let's wait for official news from Ubisoft.
