“Ubisoft messed up again”: Assassin’s Creed Shadows Makes a Huge Blunder by Adding Watermelon in the Game, Fans Claim

Ubisoft can’t seem to make anyone happy lately as Assassin’s Creed Shadows gets even more backlash online. There are a couple of new reasons this time and the biggest one right now is because of a screenshot of the game that was recently posted online. The screenshot shows Yasuke on a “leisurely stroll” in what seems like a marketplace in town, but there are some glaring problems according to fans.
Did the studio do any research at all? | Image Credit: Ubisoft
In Yasuke’s “leisurely stroll,” we see watermelons in the scene while cherry blossom trees are blooming in the background. This shouldn’t be possible if you consider how seasons work in Japan. Once again we must question Ubisoft’s commitment to historical authenticity because this just seems like cultural insensitivity.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows can’t stop making mistakes And we’re all here to call them out.
