It appears Ubisoft’s apology for utilizing the Sekigahara Teppo-tai’s flag with out permission has not been accepted. The Japanese historic re-enactment group knowledgeable the writer that its distinct banner had been utilized in idea artwork for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which promptly apologised. Still, the group desires it faraway from the artwork ebook, which comes bundled with the $279.99 Collector’s Edition of the sport.
As reported and translated by Automaton (thanks, IGN), matchlock_kage, the chief of the Teppo-tai, which holds re-enactments at Sekigahara in remembrance of one of the pivotal battles in Japanese historical past, responded: “The Sekigahara Teppo-tai members discussed the matter again. We have asked Ubisoft to remove the image from the Collector’s Edition art book. I’m unsure if this will be possible, but I’ve contacted Ubisoft through their support.”
Mercilessly reloading and firing once more, matchlock_kage factors out that the flag, which bears the private heraldry of navy leaders who fought on the Battle of Sekigahara (1600), is anachronistic in Shadows’ setting, which takes place in 1579. We’ll have an interest to see if the Teppo-tai efficiently will get Ubisoft to take away the flag from the artwork ebook in query, and we’ll control the state of affairs because it develops.
