IGN has confirmed that Ubisoft has quietly prepared patches for the whole day Assassin's Creed Shadow This has made many important changes, including temples and shrines.
Ubisoft has provided patch notes for this update, and the company confirms that the notice is not included in any public announcement.
Assassin's Creed Shadow Day – One Patch:
This update brings various improvements and fixes, including:
- Players no longer fall into movable objects after dodging forward and interacting with kofun
- Fixed weapon was deleted incorrectly when selling items
- Make adjustments to prevent players from breaking boundaries when they sign an object
- Improved horse navigation, reducing problems with turning and blocking paths
- Lighting adjustments for caves, kofun and building entrances/exits
- Repair Yasuke's outfit (cycling) and Naoe's outfit (squat)
- Citizens without weapons no longer bleed during attacks, reducing unexpected blood spills in temples/shins
- Now, tables and shelves in temples/shindus are indestructible (some objects, such as drums or bowls, as they are universal items around the world) (tables are still dynamic objects, so players can still move/push them).
The title here is a change to tables and shelves in temples and shrines, which are now indestructible in feudal Japanese games. Ubisoft told IGN that the Day-One patch is specific to all players rather than Japan, but it is difficult to see the change in response to the controversy surrounding the country's games.
Yesterday, on March 19, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Answered a question Assassin's Creed Shadow At the official government meeting.
The question of the Assassin's Creed shadow of Japanese politician and Japanese MP Hiroyuki Kada is raised. Kada will run for re-election this summer, he said:
“I worry that allowing players to attack and destroy real-world locations in the game without permission can encourage similar behavior in real life. Shrine officials and local residents are concerned about this. Of course, freedom of expression must be respected, but behaviors that cause derogatory local culture should be avoided.”
Prime Minister Ishiba answered:
“We need to discuss with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs how to resolve this issue legally.
“Polluting the shrine is impossible – it is an insult to the state itself. When the Self-Defense Forces were deployed to Samawa, Iraq, we made sure they studied the customs of Islam in advance. Respecting a country's culture and religion is fundamental and we must make it clear that we will not simply accept actions that deprive them of them.”
In the game video of the Creed Shadow of Release Assassin, the shrine is “defiled” by Himeji's Itatehyozu shrine, located in Kada's constituency. He said he had consulted with representatives of the shrine, who confirmed that Ubisoft did not seek their permission to display the shrine and use its name in the game.
Although Masaki Ogushi (Deputy Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry) replied that government agencies would jointly deal with “if the shrine seeks consultation”, while in the work of artistic expression, Ubisoft may be legally obvious to use the shrine under the Japanese constitution.
The responses of the two ministers were vague at best and seemed unlikely to take any specific action, especially since Ubisoft seemed to have actively addressed these issues with patches for the day.
According to IGN's test, the patch does not appear to be in real time in the game.
Regardless of the game's success or other aspects in Japan, Assassin's Creed Shadow puts huge pressure on ubisoft after many delays and last year's sales failures “Star Wars”. Indeed, Ubisoft suffered a lot High-profile slippers,,,,, Layoffs,,,,, Studio closeand Game Cancel In the release of Assassin's Creed Shadow.
IGN's Assassin's Creed Shadow Review Returned 8/10. We said: “By sharpening the edges of its existing system, Assassin’s Creed Shadow has created one of the best versions of the open world style that has been honed over the past decade.”
