This cautious approach is not the first of its kind by CERO, as previously, titles like Resident Evil Village and The Callisto Protocol faced censorship for their violent content, highlighting the ongoing concern about violence in video games in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assassin&#039;s Creed Shadows: Story Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SHaN4MIGqpo?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, changes have been made to the audio of the Japanese edition, although the specific details of these alterations have not been disclosed.<strong> This modification is unusual for an initial release and may be related to licensing rights<\/strong>. Changes have also been observed in the description of the character Yasuke on the Japanese Steam page, where his reference as a samurai has been removed, which has generated criticism among certain groups of players who believe this decision aims to avoid controversies.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to note that this change occurs <strong>in a broader context of criticism from certain sectors that believe Ubisoft&#8217;s approach strays from the historical representation of Yasuke<\/strong>. While Ubisoft&#8217;s creative team has defended its decisions, the company&#8217;s executives have taken a more cautious stance, ensuring that their goal &#8220;is not to promote any specific agenda.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/assassins-creed-shadows-aun-no-ha-salido-y-ya-ha-anunciado-su-expansion\/\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows is scheduled for release on March 20<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Steam\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/3047d89c-96d0-11e6-8546-00163ed833e7\/2505233623\/steam-download.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Steam<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/steam.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ubisoft has announced that it will make modifications to the Japanese version of its upcoming release, Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows, to meet the requirements imposed by Japan&#8217;s video game rating agency CERO.
