Ubisoft reportedly set up an anti-harassment department for Assassin's Creed Shadow! Always stand by

Mar 18 2025

  Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has caused more controversy than the work itself. According to French media reports, Ubisoft launched an anti-harassment response plan. In addition to asking developers not to disclose their identities on social platforms to avoid being attacked, it also monitors the promotional content related to Assassin's Creed: Shadow, saying that if the harassment is true, legal affairs will be used to launch operations. However, this statement obviously failed to calm the anger of the community.

According to the French media BFMTV, anonymous internal employees revealed that the official plan for harassment this time, because the work caused the developers to be attacked and insulted, far more than other series of works. Ubisoft official requires employees not to over-disclosely revealing themselves as developers of Assassin's Creed: Shadow and will monitor community content related to Assassin's Creed: Shadow. Once the harassment or threat is confirmed to be true, the legal team will be used to carry out the action. But the report also mentioned that if Assassin's Creed Shadow really doesn't sell well, the situation in the new fiscal year starting in April will definitely be bad.

Of course, this method obviously cannot be bought by the community, and some even doubt whether Ubisoft, whose financial situation is shaky, still has the ability to handle such a thing. What the official should reflect on is why Assassin's Creed Shadow has emerged from the real history claimed to be filled, plagiarism and unauthorized content, seasons to serious mistakes in various Japanese items. Continuing to do this will make it more difficult to win back your reputation.

In short, although Ubisoft's anti-harassment plan is intended to protect developers, it obviously fails to solve the fundamental problem. I wonder if "Assassin's Creed" can eventually turn the situation around, or will it continue to sink into controversy?
