Ubisoft has introduced a day one patch for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which aims to mitigate player impact on Japan’s culturally significant locations. The patch includes an array of tweaks to limit destructiveness in temples and shrines, making furniture within these sites indestructible. This ensures no unnecessary bloodshed occurs during gameplay, preserving the sanctity of these spaces.
Key Changes in the Patch
- Tables and racks in temples now immune to damage.
- Citizens will no longer bleed if attacked, limiting graphic violence.
- Players previously stuck in movable objects are now free to navigate without issues.
- Horse navigation has been improved to ensure smoother gameplay.
Despite some pushback from players, these changes come in light of considerable public concern, especially following statements from political figures regarding the influence of such games on real-world behavior.
Community Response
Community feedback has been mixed. While many approve the preservation of cultural sites, others see it as restrictive to gameplay experience. If you want to dive deeper into the topic, check discussions on BlueSky and follow Ubisoft’s official channels for more updates.
