Assassin’s Creed Shadows Romance Misinformation Hits New Low on Social Media

by

Just as Assassin’s Creed Shadows makes its grand debut, I can’t help but notice the deluge of misinformation about the game on social media platforms like [formerly Twitter]. A significant portion of this confusion seems to be fueled by accounts that thrive on stirring the pot of ‘controversy’, hoping to profit from it.

What particularly stands out for these devoted users is the intriguing romance system featured in Shadows. Characters Naoe and Yasuke can engage in romantic relationships with certain supporting characters, and this aspect is entirely optional, much like it was in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla.

Instead of implying that these stories portray romance as compulsory, consider rephrasing it as: These accounts seem to suggest that romance in this particular narrative – involving Yasuke and Ibuki, a non-binary character – is not just optional, but an essential aspect of the story. This relationship has been widely shared on social media and YouTube.

As a gamer, let me clarify this point: The creators are deliberately stirring things up and sparking excitement among specific players by suggesting that Yasuke can romance Ibuki. However, the truth is, if you don’t opt for the obvious flirtatious dialogue options during conversations with them, their relationship will remain platonic, and they’ll just maintain a strong friendship instead.

After a popular video by YouTuber Mightykeef clarified the matter, it’s been made clear that this romantic storyline in Assassin’s Creed is entirely optional. The post gained such widespread attention that even the official Assassin’s Creed account echoed these words, emphasizing that player choice is key.

Ever since the complete unveiling of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, there’s been plenty of discussion about it. Yasuke, a historical figure who was actually a black African man living in Japan during the 16th century, has caused quite a stir as he was made the playable character in the game, sparking a wide range of responses online.

However, it’s no secret that controversies, whether genuine or fabricated, tend to generate interest. Regrettably, in our current digital era, individuals with online presence are leveraging this approach extensively—spreading unverified information about… video games.

How do you interpret all this chaos? Simply, just steer clear from commenting on social media in the section provided below.
