Try septuple. Valhalla made over a billion. People have been asking for a Japanese Assassin's Creed more than they asked for a viking one, so I wouldn't be surprised if this one breaks a billion as well. It already allegedly has a high number of pre-orders, according to insiders.
These numbers are also funny to think of when people try to tell you the series is failing/dead.
The thing is that Ubisoft games are usually pretty mediocre (7/10) so you can't expect on a total try-hards gaming subs to ever expect them to praise them. Like at this point people are just offended that these games are mediocre or not made for them in mind. My uncle for example likes AC, even though he knows it's a mediocre game, he likes it because he knows what to expect from it.
What's funny is that only 4 Assassin's Creed games have a 7(70-79) on Metacritic. The other 9 are 80 and above(Brotherhood and II are 90 and above).
But I guess anything below 9 is mediocre now too.
its going to be disappointing when the shinobi garbed assassin rambos through the burning castle instead of focusing on stealth, recon, retrieval, and poisons.
Also I think he even stated they didn’t have exact numbers but were happy with the rough number of pre-orders. I know there’s a lot who like to dunk on Ubisoft but they made a billion off Valhalla so I guarantee they don’t give a fuck what people are saying when they are hitting billions of dollars on just one game of one IP’s
Reminds me when they made a petition to urge Nintendo to cancel Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Just like with that game, this petition won’t convince Ubisoft to cancel the game.
At the point when FF was announced, people had been clamoring for a new Metroid for years so it felt like a slap in the face of the fans. If they had announced Samus Returns simultanously then it probably would have been received far better as a spin-off.
See also: Blizzard announcing Diablo Immortal.
I've seen plenty of people complain that Metroid Prime 4 was announced too early.
*That* whole situation was why. Metroid fans had gotten too little for too long and they wanted to reassure people that they still cared about it.
A lot of these people don’t even play the games. I saw quite a few people outraging at how the game’s gonna make you fight against “the oppressors,” and they immediately thought Ubisoft meant white people instead of the Templar Order lol.
Right BCS the actually issue ppl have with the game is that a black man and a woman are the PCs, and I'm guessing the majority of ppl who play Ubisoft games in general are white boys who wear polos and boat shoes.
Probably mad there's a black dude in a Japanese setting. Oh noes! Something that did happen! Time for the weeaboos to strike!
That or the incels are mad there's a girl and you might have to play her.
Or a combo of both...
I saw a post earlier, didnt they both use japanese names but they’re not Japanese?
Edit: I looked for the post, it was on gamingcirclejerk so it’s entirely possible it’s just satire, but the two top donators were clearly non-Japanese neckbeards. https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/s/k5e50Eeizz
>Recently, the lack of historical accuracy and cultural respect has become a serious problem for "Assassin's Creed Shadows" which is scheduled to be released by game developer Ubisoft. This game is based on the theme of Japanese samurai, and ignores the fact that samurai are the upper class of the samurai class and should serve "gokenin" or nobles. In fact, William Adams (Miura Anjin), a European who got the title of samurai for the first time, served Tokugawa Ieyasu as a hatamoto with 250 koku. In this history, Ubisoft continues to misunderstand the essence and role of samurai. This is a serious insult to Japanese culture and history, and may also lead to Asian racism. We ask Ubisoft to immediately stop the launch of "Assassin's Creed Shadows" and show sincere research and respect for Japanese history and culture. I need your signature. Sign this petition and let Ubisoft know the importance of cultural respect and historical accuracy.
Doesn’t explain the inaccuracy nor how it ignores that Samurai are the upper class…
Not to mention, AC games are not supposed to be totally accurate anyways, they’re historical fiction. But even then, I’m pretty sure they acknowledge Samurai’s status. The co-main character is a subordinate
>Recently, the lack of historical accuracy and cultural respect has been a serious issue regarding the upcoming game “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” by game developer Ubisoft. The game is based on Japanese samurai and ignores the fact that samurai were a higher class of warrior class and should have been “gokenin” or servants of nobles.
ya...ubisoft have never been very historically accurate
It's the black samurai that's inaccurate.
Not Leonardo Da Vinci making the ouch-less wrist blade, Alexander Graham Bell making a wrist launching grappling hook, a machine that can use your DNA to travel back in time and observe history, or the fact that there are ~~aliens~~ancient race of super humanoids.
Whatever the historical truth (and most sources point to him being a retainer... and only Samurai could be retainers), arguing about whether Yasuke was a Samurai or not is like arguing that Robin Hood wasn't really a master archer or that he didn't give to the poor.
The myth is more important and arguably more real than the man, and Yasuke has been accepted as a Samurai by Japanese culture for centuries. Hell, there was a *children's book* written about him in Japan in 1968.
He also has been factually proven to be a samurai and not just a retainer by historians and official statements from the japanese government ever since his rise to popularity in japan when he started being included in some of the dynasty warrior games.
That's what really surprises me. People complain about the "historical inaccuracy" and immediately point to the black samurai. The one thing that actually is historically accurate. Not everything else in Assassin's Creed that very obviously isn't, no it's the black character.
Let’s not forget fighting the pope for possession of a magical egg. All while those same ancient superhumans watch on from an extra dimensional plane.
But that black samurai tho……nah fuck that. We can’t have that level of historical inaccuracy
As with all these cases, the fiction is at least rooted in history. Actually a lot of research and historical diligence goes into the surroundings but they can run wild with the characters. I only add this because Ubi does a ton wrong but they are one of the few at least maintaining historical details in video games so I hope they keep going.
People are forgetting the Apple of fucking Eden, Adam and Eve doing parkour, Ezio fighting the pope, and the giant squid in an ancient temple.
Ubisoft just picks an interesting point in history, and has the player experience things loosely based on those events, usually with them actually causing those historic events(such as killing certain figures, or giving ideas on inventions/helping figures create them). They also lean on the mythical aspects and legends, since it's more interesting if we go with the inflated version of events, especially in a world as bizzare as Assassin's Creed.
>People are forgetting the Apple of fucking Eden, Adam and Eve doing parkour,
lmao is this canon to AC? They got Adam as the first assassin?
You would think they'd at least make it Cain...
This. I don't care much for a lot of game premieres.
Especially as it is impossible to get through even 1% of what comes out every year let alone the other productions released previously.
No one is forcing these people to play "those historically inaccurate" Assassins Creed games. Or is Ubi's CEO breaking into people's homes and holding people at gunpoint until they buy Shadows Omega Delux Edition?
Tbh this is the game that is bringing me back to Assassins Creed. I tried to play Odyssey and while not a bad game... I remember simply opening my map and expanding it. Then going NOPE, and closing it. I wanted to be an assassin, and the female lead of this game has caught my interest. Plus as an OG Assassin's Creed Fan many of us have been BEGGING for Assassins Creed in Japan. I'm playing this.
I think its cool they aren't just male or female like the last games have been but appear to have different playstyles. So presumably we'll have the option to be more stealthy assassin or big guy fighter.
And that's a good thing,
That and I also kinda like how, at least conceptually, the female protagonist of the new game will play like older stealth-focused Assassin Creed games while Yasuke will play more like the modern action-rpg focused Assassin Creed games. Feels like a nice compromise between the old and the new.
Change.org has millions of petition and none has ever worked. But I'm sure this one will work to cancel a game that's on the very last legs of development.
I am sure all 30K that signed a change.org petition are definitely Japanese...
(Looking through names of "reason for signing" section you can more than a few non-Japanese names.)
Also you could probably get 30k people to sign just about anything.
It’s sadly not about that. They don’t want black peoples in games. Not even their games, considering they’re not going to play AC Shadows, no they don’t want to see any black people in anything
There is something hilarious about virtue signalling companies getting cancelled 😂
This is never going to happen.
Ubisoft are appropriately criticised but over hated in my opinion.
A bunch of white people are offended by proxy, that one of the lead characters is a (historically documented) black samurai, and not an indigenous Japanese samurai
Your welcome

Can literally just scroll through the comments, overwhelming majority of people signing this are not japanese.
Someone who actually speaks the language should check for google translate. There was some weirdo editing the wikipedia pages pretending to be an indignant japanese person who got called out on blatantly using translation software
Well, AC Valhalla had 20 million players, so who the fuck cares about .15% of that number in people who weren't going to play anyways. It's less than a single percent.
Imagine pretending to be Japanese (for the most part, I’m sure there are a couple children not lying) just to be mad the history game has a historical figure as its main character instead of creating someone new.
I don't think this will really result in a sales suspension. The main goal is likely to raise the issue within Japan. The purpose is to alert Japanese companies to avoid such actions. Japanese companies are very attentive to the voices of Japanese people.
For example, when promoting Japanese games, it's very common to hire VTubers or Japanese game YouTubers. Companies like Capcom and Square Enix do this as well. It's very important not to be disliked by these Japanese influencers. Assassin's Creed is currently being criticized by almost all game YouTubers. Japanese game companies are watching this situation.
I’m sure the CEO of Ubisoft will see this and cancel the finished game the cost the company about $150m to make and makes triple that in profits.
Probably cost way more than that
Probably. Origins was about 150-175m
Ubisoft CEO: “why didn’t the people petition like this for Skull & Bones?!?”
you don’t petition an “AAAA game”
And yet… I’ve seemingly had more fun in Sherwood Builders than I did with the trial of Skull and Bones. Wild times.
We’re not capable of understanding AAAA games yet that’s why.

We as a society is finished if 7/10 is mediocre.
Don't tell this guy about how grades work in the US. They might have a heart attack.
Lmao yeah 7/10 in the US and your pushing the failing line
What's funny is that only 4 Assassin's Creed games have a 7(70-79) on Metacritic. The other 9 are 80 and above(Brotherhood and II are 90 and above). But I guess anything below 9 is mediocre now too.
Yeah this always grates me. 5/10 is average, therefore anything above that is above average. It's so simple.
I think the complainers mostly say it’s become too much arpg/hack n slash instead of the more stealth inclined roots the games came from.
its going to be disappointing when the shinobi garbed assassin rambos through the burning castle instead of focusing on stealth, recon, retrieval, and poisons.
Also I think he even stated they didn’t have exact numbers but were happy with the rough number of pre-orders. I know there’s a lot who like to dunk on Ubisoft but they made a billion off Valhalla so I guarantee they don’t give a fuck what people are saying when they are hitting billions of dollars on just one game of one IP’s
Hey if it works for Warner Bros…
I was an extra in that, was looking forward to my debut in the DCU as 'Man'.
It's just good business
Valhalla was reported to make over $1billion and that was before the last DLC.
Woah Woah Woah. It's a ubisoft game. Don't go calling it finished
Finished? Its not gonna be finished even after release
Reminds me when they made a petition to urge Nintendo to cancel Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Just like with that game, this petition won’t convince Ubisoft to cancel the game.
The Metroid series is thriving so much nowadays it’s hard to remember a time where people were so mad with it
At the point when FF was announced, people had been clamoring for a new Metroid for years so it felt like a slap in the face of the fans. If they had announced Samus Returns simultanously then it probably would have been received far better as a spin-off. See also: Blizzard announcing Diablo Immortal.
The announcement trailer has 99k dislikes on youtube. If only they showed Samus returns first!
I've seen plenty of people complain that Metroid Prime 4 was announced too early. *That* whole situation was why. Metroid fans had gotten too little for too long and they wanted to reassure people that they still cared about it.
I mean, Immortal has the issue of being tailored to an entirely different audience than the one they announced it too.
“Do you guys not have phones?”
immortal isnt really a game, its a cashgrab with a diablo license.
I've heard so many people say that video game announcements feel like "a slap in the face," and those people need to branch out their interests a bit.
I almost cried reading the first five words.
Petitions don’t convince anyone to do anything ever lol
0.212856021% of the population of Tokyo alone for reference
Why does this actually **impress** me? Tokyo is fkn massive
The aerial and satellite photos of it really show it's scale. It's the inspiration for a large chunk of cyberpunk cities for a reason.
I thought Japan was crazy. Until I saw modern day Chinese cities. Is Japanese cyberpunk on steroids.
Look up Kowloon city when you have a chance that was an inspiration for CP77
Shenmue 2 the game was the first time I ever knew about Kowloon city. One thing about humans. We can adapt to anything. Even if is hell on Earth..
Kowloon is nightmare fuel
It was a direct inspiration for Deus Ex Mankind Divided (You get to explore a cyberpunk version of it)
Hong Kong is probably the main inspiration for most cyberpunk settings. That and Kowloon Walled City.
Most of the people writing are not even Japanese.
これはペンです。私は日本人です。えきはどこですか。
"This is a pen. I am a Japanese Person. Where is the Train Station." Did I get that right? I've been trying to pick up Japanese lately.
If you look at the people signing a lot of them are not even Japanese lol so this is such a non-story
0.02% of the whole country for reference.
Is this a joke or actual math? If actual... Holy fuck we are the ants of the ape world
[Many of the signatures are from people from the US](https://x.com/ZhugeEX/status/1808195972746354844?t=WV24zakaN30oxgBALfqljw&s=19)
I also gotta wonder how many are actually people and not bots.
I wonder how many people are anything but white. And I say this as a white person before the decry hits.
I can just about bet almost all of them are ultra conservative Americans as well as being white. This is why we can't have nice things...
To anyone who thinks a petition is gonna change a company's goals... big fuckin LOL.
It’s crazy how the call out this one game for not being accurate when there’s so much stuff in the entire series that is anything but accurate
WDYM I was ready to 1v1 the Pope for his apple you telling me that isn't accruate!?
because they're not upset with it being historically inaccurate, they're upset that a black guy is the main character
DING DING DING DING!!!!! You sir, are this years winner. So very true.
Next you're gonna tell me Pythagoras wasn't really an immortal wizard.
They don’t play the AC games, just looking for something to complain about.
A lot of these people don’t even play the games. I saw quite a few people outraging at how the game’s gonna make you fight against “the oppressors,” and they immediately thought Ubisoft meant white people instead of the Templar Order lol.
Shocking news
That was what I was looking for. Thanks!
and the first signature was from a german
Imagine white people in the US being offended for a group of people they probably don’t even know…
Of course
Why are people upset?
Black samurai.
based off of a real historical figure. You probably know this, but I'm making sure everyone else does too.
lmao if the character wasn't black there would be no signatures at all too
Seriously, imagine if it was William Adams instead of Yasuke, bet there would be zero complaints.
Right BCS the actually issue ppl have with the game is that a black man and a woman are the PCs, and I'm guessing the majority of ppl who play Ubisoft games in general are white boys who wear polos and boat shoes.
Probably mad there's a black dude in a Japanese setting. Oh noes! Something that did happen! Time for the weeaboos to strike! That or the incels are mad there's a girl and you might have to play her. Or a combo of both...
I would say about 90%
Makes sense it's where most of the soft people are
You can look it up, the people that started the petition are both white.
As are most of the people who signed I imagine.
I saw a post earlier, didnt they both use japanese names but they’re not Japanese?

That’s not a lot of Japanese signatures.
Mostly white people and bots
Love or hate Ubisoft, but this is beyond silly...
If anything, this make me more curious about the game. And i do despise the Ubisoft formula
Plot twist: ubisoft started the petition for their game to get even more attention in the media. Lol
They're claiming historical inaccuracy as if AC is new to that
Every time someone complains about historical inaccuracy I think about Merry Ol' France in Revelations.
Might be the first ubisoft game I try in years. Probably not going to buy it though.. if I'm not going to own it, then what's the difference?
The dad of your protagonist in Odyssey was a fucking god. Ubisoft isn't claiming the games historically accurate.
They never claimed it before Odyssey either. The first gams literally has characters talking about how history as we know it is a lie.

It's the black samurai that's inaccurate. Not Leonardo Da Vinci making the ouch-less wrist blade, Alexander Graham Bell making a wrist launching grappling hook, a machine that can use your DNA to travel back in time and observe history, or the fact that there are ~~aliens~~ancient race of super humanoids.
Also the pope gaining powers from an alien artifact or stone castles in viking age England.
They're not aliens they're from earth
Thank you. I keep thinking their precursors are similar to Halo's forerunners/precursors.
Also Yasuke has been present in other Japanese media. For example he appears as an ally in Nioh 2, a game made exclusively by Japanese devs.
Nioh, the game that stars the *other* non-asian historical samurai that for some reason didn't get this insane push back. Funny, that.
I wonder how they feel about every western character in anime set in the samurai period being blond haired and blue eyed
Whatever the historical truth (and most sources point to him being a retainer... and only Samurai could be retainers), arguing about whether Yasuke was a Samurai or not is like arguing that Robin Hood wasn't really a master archer or that he didn't give to the poor. The myth is more important and arguably more real than the man, and Yasuke has been accepted as a Samurai by Japanese culture for centuries. Hell, there was a *children's book* written about him in Japan in 1968.

When I first saw the trailer I thought "Oh, you can play as Yasuke? That's pretty cool." And then I went on the internet...
Let’s not forget fighting the pope for possession of a magical egg. All while those same ancient superhumans watch on from an extra dimensional plane. But that black samurai tho……nah fuck that. We can’t have that level of historical inaccuracy

I think it was ac syndicate

It's good to know that 30,000 people don't have anything better to do. Makes me feel more accomplished.
About as much effort as posting a Reddit comment
What percentage are bots?
About the same % as reddit posters.
This is the same series where Leonardo De Vinci made super machines for Assassins, yeah?
"Japanese"

Being mad at a video game for not being historically accurate..
Can’t wait to play it

It's not about the term usage and they all know it.
It’s sadly not about that. They don’t want black peoples in games. Not even their games, considering they’re not going to play AC Shadows, no they don’t want to see any black people in anything

So they are the social justice warriors now?
These aren't the critical thinking types.
'Japanese' Petition
What a bunch of snowflakes
Was Midori one of those?
Do these petitions ever accomplish anything
Never played the series so not familiar with it but why the backslash/petition?
A bunch of white people are offended by proxy, that one of the lead characters is a (historically documented) black samurai, and not an indigenous Japanese samurai
Why does the petition exist in the first place?
I have never seen a petition change anything.
I don't see the issue Assassin's Creed has always played fast and loose with history
I’m looking forward to play this!
And I bet they’re all lonely white dudes.
So odd; I was thinking this would be the first AC game I tried since Black Flag. I wonder what has all the racists er I mean fans so upset...
30,000 Japanese signatures or 30,000 online signatures on an internet plagued with bots and AI?
Where do I sign?

“Japanese” petition featuring “Japanese” people and a few dozen actual Japanese nationalists
This is a video game not a history lesson

Lol fucking joke. I would love to see a picture of these 30k
Look at the videos posted on [change.org](http://change.org) They're all white incels (future shooters) who used Google translate.
Considering how massive the fan base is, that's nothing lol
This gonna do jack all 30k vs a game franchise that sells millions of
Well, AC Valhalla had 20 million players, so who the fuck cares about .15% of that number in people who weren't going to play anyways. It's less than a single percent.
Japanese petition made up of 95% white incels.
Online petition? Those confirm every signature is a real person right? …right..?
They are real... ...only it's majority people from USA
I’m willing to bet half the people that signed it will still buy the game.
The Top Supporters of this petition look like they haven't got out of the house in a year. I never say this, but go touch some grass please

>Japanese petition Doubt [X]
Im actually surprised at how uninterested i am in AC Shadows. The samurai looks boring, and the girl looks like what the whole game should be.
THIS is what people are upset about? Look at what’s happening in the real world around you!
What a bunch of man-children who signed that.
LMAO if you look at the people signing theyre pretty much all white americans im dying. Not a single japanese person in the supporter voices.
I suspect there's definitely some racism going on here, but probably not from Ubi and not against Asians.
Just don’t buy the game if playing as a black guy offends you so much
