Ubisoft's launch day update for Assassin's Creed Shadows addresses cultural sensitivity by making changes to the gameplay in relation to shrines. The update ensures that monks no longer bleed if attacked, and key shrine items are now indestructible to prevent vandalism concerns. Amid criticism from political figures in Japan who stress the importance of respect for local culture, Ubisoft has acknowledged the sensitivity surrounding their game's themes and consulted with historians in the development process. The company has apologized for any previous concerns raised regarding their promotional materials.
In a response to the growing concern over cultural sensitivity, an update for Assassin's Creed Shadows prevents players from destroying certain items in shrines.
Hiroyuki Kada voiced concerns over potential real-world implications if players could vandalize shrines in the game, highlighting the need to respect local cultures.
