After having a smooth build-up and launch where no one was arguing about anything, Ubisoft has come under fire by gamers claiming their new title, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, is too woke. These allegations have been flooding lesser-used message boards and downvoted Reddit threads all because the game, which puts players in control of two extremely historically accurate virtual reality samurai, features a katana that has been vaccinated.
The katana functions like any other sword in the game, with the only real difference being in it’s weapon menu description, where it states that anyone wounded by it but not killed may have a better chance of not catching Measles. Many gamers seem to be almost obsessively angry about the katana, claiming it completely turns them away from the game.
“It completely breaks the immersion. Actual feudal Japan NEVER had a sword like this, so why would they put one in the newest entry in a series built on realism, historical context, and sometimes killing mythological creatures like Medusa. I will NOT be buying this game. This is exactly like when the newest Dragon Age game gave had female warlocks.” Said self-claimed gaming expert Wilson Muttley after wiping away tears.
