The inclusion of Yasuke, a Black samurai, as one of the protagonists in Ubisoft's upcoming game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, has sparked controversy.
Debates about historical accuracy and representation have been ignited, questioning the game's historical authenticity.
Backlash was also received due to the design of a collectible figure depicting the game's protagonists alongside a torii gate resembling the one destroyed in the Nagasaki atomic bomb.
Allegations of bot usage to boost engagement on the game's trailer further contributed to the controversy.
