Ever since they unveiled Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, it’s been a hot topic in the gaming world – not just because it’s a new game, but because it’s become a battleground in our ongoing gaming culture war. The issues surrounding this latest Assassin’s Creed title have been numerous, and the latest flare-up is all about some leaked gameplay footage that’s been spreading like wildfire online. In just 24 hours, it racked up over 20 million views! It’s not gaining popularity because fans are going gaga or because it’s hilarious, but true to the spirit of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows so far, it’s sparking debate and division.
The video displays one main character from the game destroying a sacred place in Japan. This may be new information for some, but it has sparked controversy among many due to its depiction.
While it’s true that religious and cultural traditions often feature prominently in the Assassin’s Creed series of video games, these topics are generally delicate matters. Therefore, while this presented footage might not come as a shock to many, it still leaves an uneasy feeling for some viewers. In simple terms, even though it may not be unexpected, it doesn’t make the discomfort any less.
Critics have supported the content depicted in the video, stating that it’s consistent with the themes of Assassin’s Creed or typical in video games. For instance, a commentator recalled an antagonist from Assassin’s Creed 2 who was actually the Pope. Another user brought up the ability in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to raid monasteries and kill monks.
Irrespective of who’s correct or incorrect, it’s clear that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is back in the spotlight and generating controversy. While some argue any publicity is good publicity, this hasn’t held true for games entangled in the evolving gaming culture conflict thus far.
2025 can’t come soon enough for me as a gamer! I’m super hyped that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally dropping globally on March 20th, available across platforms like PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
