The Prime Minister of Japan Responded to a Question About Assassin’s Creed Shadows Today — Here’s What’s Actually Going On

Japanese Prime Minister Shigero Esiba answered a question about the murderer’s profession, during a government conference meeting today. Although some reports have indicated that Prime Minister Esiba has raised concerns about the reflection of the shrines of the Japan seat game and its maker, Japan Set Game and its maker, Japan Set, but the reality is less controversial.

IGN raised a question and answer through our colleagues in IGN Japan so that not only a valid translation, but also some context that helps us understand what is really happening here. IGN has also sought comment from Ubesoft.

For the background, Ubesoft began the delay in Shadow, which started delaying the game aspects and its marketing, which made some upset in Japan.

Some people expressed frustration over mistakes in the photography of Japan Japan, Guide to the development team to issue an apology And they say that the purpose of this game is not a realistic representation of history, but rather “a compulsory, historical fiction.”

Yubisoft said, “Ubesoft also emphasized his cooperation with external advisers and historians, but” Despite these constant efforts, we acknowledge that some elements in our promotional content have been a cause for concern in the Japanese community. ” “We are sincerely apologize.”

The concern was also raised The developer used the Japanese historical re -implementation group flag In the artwork for the shadow of the killer without permission. Yubisoft apologized for doing so.

And the collective statistics company Priorets removed the shadow of a murderer’s belief on the use of a touched Tory gate, about which some people said it was unpleasant. Tori Gates are found near religious shrines all over Japan to identify a limit to separating the human world and the sacred. One toe has its own important meaning of Tori Gate, however, as can be found at the Nagasaki’s senior shrine, which is located 900 meters from the Hepatinator of the Atomic Bomb on World War 2, killing 60,000 people.

Keeping all this in mind, Ubesoft is worried about the imagery of this country not only in Japan, but also some Western fans.

Japanese politicians and Japanese councilors, a member of the Herovici Kada, were asked about Haasan’s professional shadow question.. Kada, who will run for re -election this summer, said:

“I am afraid that allowing players to invade and end real -world locations without permission can encourage similar behavior in real life. The shrine officials and locals are also worried about it. Of course, freedom of expression should be respected, but these measures should be avoided.”

Prime Minister Ashiba replied:

“The way to legally resolve this is something we need to discuss with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Defeat a shrine is beyond the question – it is an insult to the nation itself. When self -defense forces were deployed in Iraq, Iraq, we made sure that they had already studied Islamic customs. It is basic to respect the culture and religion of a country, and we will not accept it.”

These are correct translations of exchange, but what is the context around them? In IGN Japan, our colleagues helped us understand the situation.

What you need to understand here is that Japan has seen a record number of visitors abroad in the context of the country’s reopening of its borders after the pandemic and the lure of weak yen. In this government budget, politician Herovici Kada linked his complaints against the shadow with a controversial topic, which he called “over tourism” and was considered by an attendees in Japan and in graphy.

The reason for this is that if players are able to defame a temple or to harm people in the game, they can encourage to do so in real life when they go to Japan, as it is like an ancient argument that call -of -duty or grand stolen auto -copycat torture.

Prime Minister Shigro Ashiba replied that if such actions were taken in real life, they would oppose them, but “if” is raising a lot of heavy here. The purpose of his comments was the ideological real -life copy Kate measures rather than the game.

The shrine found in the online shadow game play videos has a Hoogo Prefecture, the Attiazo shrine in HamG, in the Cada circle. He said he had consulted with the representatives of the shrine who said that Ubesft had not allowed the shrine to disclose and use its name in the game.

While Masaki Oghoshi (Deputy Minister for Economy, Commerce and Industry) replied that government agencies will work together to handle matters “If the shrine tries to consult,”, this is a big deal once again, and anyway, in the work of artistic expression, the use of Ubesoft will probably use Japan’s constitution.

The reactions to the two ministers were excellently vague and as a result, there is no possibility of a particular action, especially when Ubeshut has actively resolved these concerns with a patch of a day-which shows that they may be more sensitive to Japanese citizens’ emotions, compared to which Kada gave them credit.
