"Assassin's Creed Shadow"'s special edition is on the verge of: Chinese and Japanese styles can't be distinguished?

　　Ubisoft's highly anticipated new work "Assassin's Creed Shadows" will be officially launched next week on March 20. However, many players expressed dissatisfaction with the styling rewards included in this digital luxury version, believing that these designs are more like Chinese traditional culture than Japanese style.

　　The digital luxury version of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" includes a set of "Red Dragon Double Combination Package", covering equipment and weapon sets that can be used by both the two protagonists Naoe and Yasuke, as well as a series of accessories such as the mount "Red Dragon Beast". However, after seeing these looks, many netizens said that although the design looks handsome and has samurai elements, the Red Dragon Mount is more like a Chinese style design.

A netizen joked: "Is this "Assassin's Creed: China-Lunar New Year Special Edition"?", "Does Ubisoft think Asian countries are similar?", "The design of the Red Dragon is really Chinese", "I thought the background of this game was set in Japan, not China?"

A lot of Japanese netizens even joined the ranks of complaints, suspecting that there were not many Japanese people involved in the development of Assassin's Creed: Shadow: "It looks like Chinese style, but if Chinese people see it, they may think 'This is not Chinese style at all'", "full of red + dragon elements, more like Chinese style", "Ubisoft can directly say that Animus failure in the plot, causing the system to mix with Chinese elements."

Even the well-known Twitch anchor Asmongold has watched many complaint videos by netizens and Japanese YouTubers. He said that if he didn't know that "Assassin's Creed" was set in Japan, he would feel that these looks are from China at first sight. He also joked that it felt like putting a bunch of Japanese samurai in "Assassin's Creed: China".

In short, the design of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has caused quite a lot of controversy this time. I wonder if Ubisoft will respond to this? Let's wait and see!
