They apologized only in Japanese on the Japan branch's Twitter page.
They did not want this apology to be exposed to the rest of the world.
However, the Japan branch probably had little to do with the production of this game.
Incidentally, Shadows concept art has other plagiarism issues. We are watching to see what happens with those.
And yet UBI is still trying to sell this concept art.
We do not know what kind of behind-the-scenes communication took place between the organization and UBI.
One thing is certain: the Japanese do not forgive UBI.
彼らは日本支社のツイッターで、日本語だけで謝罪した。
海外にこの謝罪がバレたくなかったのだ。
しかし日本支社は、恐らくこのゲームの製作には殆ど関わっていない。
ちなみにシャドウズのコンセプトアートは他にも盗用問題を抱えています。それらがどうなるか見守っています。
そして、まだUBIはこのコンセプトアートの販売を試みようとしています。
団体とUBIの間で、裏でどの様なやり取りが行われたかはしりません。
一つ言えるのは、日本人はUBIを許していないということです。
UBIが作成している映像やコンセプトアート、説明で表現されている日本が「日本人以外が想像する日本」であり、それが「歴史にできるだけ正しくした」とか言ってるから怒ってます。
アサシンクリードシャドウズは「１６世紀日本を体験できるゲーム」ではありません。「アジアの中から日本っぽいものを集めた世界を体験できるゲーム」です。
even japanese people asked "why apologize only in Ubisoft japan and not Overseas one too ?"
Shigs pfp?
Never apologize
コンセプトアートはパクリだらけ、フィギュアは未だ秀吉の家紋(秀吉が豊臣の性を名乗るは1586年から)が入ったまま、そして差別の巣窟の本編とコレクターズエディションの内容はほとんど破綻した状態したと言っていい。
はっきり言って発売を中止するしかありえません。
UbiJAPAN「盗んでごめんなさい。もう今後は盗みません。許してくれてありがとう。だけどあなたから盗んだものを売ることには変わりありません」
Wait, aren't they Japanese? Man, this world is so f**ked up sometimes.
I'm Japanese. No, we don't forgive them. Why did they apologize only on the UBI Japan account?
If they feel really sorry, they should appologize with UBI official account that has over than 10M followers.
Well, we wouldn't forgive them after all though. Because it was an apology to the individual organization that they stole from, and it has nothing to do with whole Japanese people.
Don't forgive, don't forget.
If they really apologizing they should stop selling and promoting the game, or at least they should remaking the game. Do not fall into Ubi lies, do not believe they're really admitted their fault, continue whatever your people did and tell your people about this remind
That's what I wondered. Why is Ubisoft Japan apologising? We all know who did it. The usual suspects who accuse everyone else of being the bad guy yet when they do something we all know is bad, they make excuses or try to remain quiet about it and hope we won't notice. As you say the main account should be profusely publicly apologising and offering some form of compensation to the specific group they stole from. I get tired of the double standards of those involved.
They won't anounce it on the main page. Everyone I know in real life here in the US is convinced that "no ACTUAL Japanese people care," and UbiSoft wants to keep that narrative alive.
No problem
始めに表沙汰になったものについてようやく謝罪しただけで、他にも商用素材からの無断使用とか山程あるんだよなぁ
THIS.
Ubisoft Japan can apologize all they want, but we all know Japan doesn't respect this company for what they did to their history
Japan should ban all of Ubisoft's games in that order. (Except for the older games.)
Guys I’m Japanese and I love you and thank you for the kind word and take care of yourself and have a nice day ❤
Ubisoft has the money and they had had the opportunity to hire a japanese artist or an artist that knows japanese writing to create just such a banner for them. Missed opportunity for doing something the right way. Successfull in raising opposition for their product and their company.
Was is worth it?
@@mflax4331 the issue here isn't hiring japanese artists etc, ubisoft just doesn't care to research what they're making. Look at ghost of tsushima, they are western based dev but they actually do research and stuff before making their game that's why it's so good.
@@peartry My reason for the post referred to the stealing of the banner from the japanese group. That could have been avoided completely.
Of course I am against the cultural approbriation as well, but that is just woke and has nothing to do with copyright infringement.
Japan shouldn't forgive Ubisoft for this stunt they pulled
they should be sued for everything..... but worse.. they have already brought shame to their family.
@@carlinbrown1114and their Ancestors.😂😂
@@crow4936 they are French, so they have already been dishonoring their Ancestors since Napoleon.
I doubt it’s a stunt. I’m far from a fan of Ubisoft (used to work for them) but as a professional artist in this world, it was most likely just the artist filling out scene details from google. Like they typed medieval japan banner…. Then used it thinking it was historical.
俺達はもちろん許しません！許す訳がありません！！
ありがとう海外ニキ！！！
問題のあるコンセプトアートがまだ他にもあること、Ubiの日本支社だけが謝罪して本社は何事もなかったかのように行動していること、まだ他にも謝罪するべきことがあること。
これらの事実が日本人をまた怒らせました。
UBIはアジア人の著作権には配慮しないようだ
世界よ！ これが差別だ！
Admitting to stealing is still stealing

Also, giving it back after you got caught shouldn't protect you from punishment. Maybe you could argue, they should get punished less, but they still should get punished.
Imo comparing it with pirating fits: it's stolen, intellectual property. Ubisoft made and makes money with that. You would punish a person, who pirates content and sells it. You should punish a company, who does the same.
Imo, they should pay the real intellectual owners. I hope, Ubisoft gets forced to do so. What they did, is not okay. It's not okay, what they did with the game and to Japan, and it's not okay, how they stole and use other people's work...
Japan should sue Ubisoft like Egypt did to Netflix for that race swapped Cleopatra documentary
Not the same situation as Cleopatra was documentary so it changing fact is proper cultural appropriation but assassins creed is fiction despite being inspired by real history
banning the game in japan would be much easier and far more effective
@@zeeshanismail7768ubi are still being diks why don't Japan get a character but all the other assassins creed gets a native character, like greek or Italian or Norse etc... it's disgusting shoving black crap in people's faces just coz some one at uni has a chubby for a black retainer.

It's a whole country of push overs, it's not that surprising.
Better question: Did the Matchlock group actually accept the apology? Or is Ubisoft Japan lying about that?
@@Victor-056 Plus sometimes the acceptance of an apology is also a social execution, especially if the aggrieved party doesn't ask for anything in return if it's a major public screwup. It's basically a case of, "Your words are the only thing you have to offer, we all know this."
Assasins greed, am I right?
@@Victor-056 As far as I know, the Sekigahara Teppo Corps basically ''gave Ubisoft the opportunity to apologize'' meaning if they wanted to avoid legal action they had to make a public apology and that's pretty much it. I'm pretty sure they even let them use their flag. They're just good people assuming Ubisoft's good-will, a mistake ofc but it is what it is.
弥助は侍ではありません 西洋の方は慰安婦問題を知っていますか？ このゲームやハリウッドの映画によって、弥助が反日のシンボルになるのが怖いです。
Some of us are aware. Some of us actual have some care and respect for world cultures and histories - sadly not many in corporate positions though. I agree with why many Japanese are upset with Ubisoft. I had long wished for an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan that would have the rich and detailed factual histories as in the first few games - that hope is gone now.
...The Tweet says "They Accepted the Apology"... But did the Matchlock Group _ACTUALLY_ accept the apology? I do not see their response.
This sounds like Ubisoft was lying _AS USUAL._
It's like when the Scooby Doo voice actor said she privately apologised to the youtuber for trying to blacklist him from the animation industry for using AI voices when he was poor as fuck and unable to even try paying for a voice actor, and no evidence was provided to suggest this occurred, meaning she never apologised to the person for nearly ruining his life because of being poor.
Ubisoft Japan just posted a notice on twitter. Ubi HQ and other language accounts ignored the matter. Theyd release an artbook to the world. Many other copyright violations have been pointed out.
What is an apology?
When such a large company apologises on the non main website and is not offering any form of compensation I'd not be accepting their apology. Let's face it, it wasn't an accident. They just thought they wouldn't get caught and they've shown their attitude once they did get caught and it's not good enough.
侍であれば、苗字があるはずです。伝説の侍であれば、尚更です。
侍→武士。貴人の護衛をする者
武士→自分の土地を守る為に武装した集団
弥助は自分の土地を持ってないので侍では無い
UBI is still not wrong about the most important misstatement, that Yasuke was a Samurai respected by the Japanese.
There was a man named Yasuke, but he was a baggage handler, not a samurai. He never went to war, and there is no way he could have learned Japanese and samurai martial arts when he was only in Japan for a year. Moreover, their apology is deliberately given only on the Japanese website and not on their official website.
It's a shame that Ubisoft headquarters is trying to sell problematic concept art to overseas fans at high prices as if there are no problems. Even though it's a major company, it is unprofessional to disregard copyrights in other countries and deliver images that have been picked up and used without permission to consumers.
We already have Japanese Assassin's creed and it's called Ghost of Tsushima.

Don't forget to sign the petition to ban Assassin's Creed Shadows.
I wouldn't forgive them they first disrespected Japans history, culture, traditions and then they decided to also steal flags. Japan needs to sue ubisoft.
Japan, please BAN this game in your country and GIVE THEM REFUNDS FOR THOSE WHO PRE-ORDER THE GAME.(That might be the best move for Japan.)
And ubisoft in general
If they do this, I'd be delighted.
少なくとも私は、Ubiの製品をもう買えません。
They are sorry they got caught.

I doubt this is the only thing stolen, its just the first one we found
Until Ubisoft is sued and hit with a massive judgement they wont care. Then Ubisoft will say "sorry we got caught."
The only way this works is if nobody buys the game, it’s just that simple, speak with your wallet.
Based in history... Johnny Somali's history?
now correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't plagiarism illegal? so it's ok if companies do it, but not other people and school students, america?
They need to do a better apology and take the game down and restart the whole thing
Erased my ubisoft account, never buying any ubisoft game ever
My wife is Japanese, has loved Assassin's Creed since Ezio and was really looking forward to this until she saw it. Now as far as she is concerned Ubisoft are dead and she will never buy another game form them.
Never played an AC game and never will.🎉👍
It shows their mindset. It's not just lazy, it's also, that they think, it's ok to take other people's intellectual property and just use it for their own products and agenda.
They do it on the big scale, like corrupting and using a big franchise for their DEI agenda, and their employees do it on a smaller scale, like stealing artwork and pictures from regular people on Twitter.
Imo it highlights the problems with their whole mentality. No own ideas. They just see stuff, think, it's cool, and feel entitled to take and use it, without permission, and without any thoughts about the real creators or fans, and how they think and feel about it 🤷♂️
The one group forgiving them doesn't mean the whole country has.
I'm sure the whole country is still mad at them.
Ubisoft thought they would not get caught.
i doubt the Japanese people actually forgave Ubisoft. That petition says A LOT
🎌In Japan, there are countless other areas where problems have been pointed out regarding concept art. Ubisoft HQ should publish their apology on their official page for the world to see, not only for Japan. Japanese people remain angry at the disregard for Japan and the falsification of history.💢💢💢
this is not apologize. japanese people still angry.
they asked "why did this happend?" "why announced only on UBI Japan"
UBI trying to hide these problems except for japan?
What are you talking about? Did you not read the letter the re-enactment group wrote to ubisoft. And the response ubisoftv wrote back to them?
Obviously, you didn’t.
The apology is between ulUBI soft and the Re-enactment group. And that group accepted the apology and ubisoft decision to remove the images from the game or pay them compensation.
Doesn’t seem like it’s anybody’s business but the Re-enactment group and ubisoft.
I'd bet all the cash that I have to my name that they pulled it off of Google Images. I'm that confident because I personally know people who work for Ubisoft Toronto and Montreal. They all do it, because that's how we were taught to do in college for game dev program by our profs who literally just google shit if pull references from there, taking no heed to copyright or intellectual properly laws.
私はとんでもないコメントを見たのかもしれない。
This game is a mess.
Ubisoft in general is a mess.
They just apologized for the one case they were caught red-handed for. Were too cheap to change it in the artbook. And as the same Japanese are complaining about this, Ubisoft Japan isn't really the one at fault here, they're just making them take the fall when they aren't the ones who need to apologize.
I cant with this anymore. Up is down, down is up, cats and dogs are living together, mass hysteria!
When will gaming go back to the old days of not pushing stupid agendas and ideology?
When actually good games start outselling this trash.
In mass.
never.. its not just gaming.. its everything.. it's never going back the way it was.. inflation is never going back down.. this is the way now..
When will every last cent of DEI money dry up?
Have you actually played games? There were a lot of Agendas, maybe not in the early days, but at least since the 90s when there was enough memoryspace to Tell a Story. Its good writing and compelling characters that seemingly have dissapeared. I have no trouble with almost ( consent is key)any kind of pronouns or orientations, but if this is the only thing that the character has going on, its bs.

Unreal that we still have individuals out here buying games from Ubisoft in 2024.🙃
1:50 We have "Knight Bratherhoods/Fellowships" in Poland (and in Europe) that reanact medieval warfare. Most popular event in Poland, called "Battle of Grunwald" reanacts said battle, one of the biggest medieval battles, where alliance of polish-ruthenian forces (which would led to Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) clashed with Teutonic Order forces (which later transformed into Prussia, which in turn, reunited Germany into 2nd Reich).
The sheer disrespect and laziness towards japanese culture, not to mention the fact they claimed they have "enough" representation in THEIR own culture anyway, is despicable, to the point it feels weirdly malicious.
"it's fine when WE do it!"
It is because it is malicious. This is how the left behaves.
normaly i'd say perfect justification for piracy...but who would even pirate that...
Nioh 1 and 2 does a better depiction of the sengoku period than AC shadows
Hey isn’t that cultural appropriation?!?
Crunchyroll is crying over A.i Translations in My Deer Friend Nokotan and are blaming a.i for it not themselves
Japan should be sueing them, if it were the other way around an american company would be jumping at the chance. A good example is Harmony gold lawsuits against japan for gundam and macross frontier.
That just means this game is gonna bomb even harder! Lol
I don't think it will. AC games are like COD and FIFA. No matter how d£gsh;t people will still buy it
ubisoft sees japan as a joke that they are a lesser being and thats not going to work out for them! we all know this game is going to flop bad bad!
especially when their woke CEO calls japanese people racist for protecting their culture.
lets be real the devs that are working on the game are just taking things they find online and not fact checking it and is an easy fix for this with out canceling the game and lets be real they dont have the funds to do that
Noooooo, did they really do something like this?!!?...and who expected it 😑 (Sarcasm)
They admitted it, but they're still going to steal it

@@BokushingusKendoTV they pulled them from the game, but they're keeping them on their art book in the collectors edition. thats still stealing something thats not theirs mate

@BokushingusKendoTV damn for real man? Ok let me steal your videos and upload them myself! Don't worry, if you find out, I'll just send someone to apologize on my health and take down only half of them
Pathetic game from a pathetic studio.
Ubisoft is a fallen game development company that relies on overused/underdeveloped IP’s.
Add in the woke infusions and you will find a lack of player interest.
They stole the banner just like they stole everything else for this game to iinsert a blackie
This story shows me double standard in media.
They knew from the start they were gonna do that so even if they admitted and “apologized” doesn’t change the fact that they won’t remove it from AC in general. It’s still gonna be in the concept art book.
Shame on you, Ubisoft. 🎉
Ubisoft, not only did you disrespect the Japanese, you stole their culture, you should be banned for life for doing this
Where exactly is the part where, as the video title claims, "Japan forgives them"? The only people who forgive in this video is the rifle corps group, but that's not all of Japan. You talk about Ubisoft being lazy, yet you put this blatant inaccuracy in your video title.
This is a big deal and it doesn't matter what country this type of cultural appropriation is just plain stupid. And I don't blame Gamers for losing marbles over this Ubisoft used to be one of the best gaming development companies in the business and right now they're teetering on the brink of not only losing a shitload of money but they're just that close to hitting the self-destruct button on on the company in terms of their reputation
はい、開発陣は京都に2日程しかなかったそうでプレイ映像の舞台となった福知山には一度も行っていないそうです。
They should sue
盗んだものを売りつけるんですよね 買わされた方としては訴訟問題ですよ
どうなんだろ裁判沙汰になったら証拠品として全品押収？？
Nobody wants this game
First sue them second this is culture vandalism
Forgery should be illegal, right?
When large companies are left unpunished for wrongful actions, it simply tells them they can continue to do so, and at worst, they'll have to apologize.
That re-enactment group should sue for damages, of at least 99% of the profits of the collectors book/edition
Japan won't forgive!!!
Don't wonder. It's the black dude. DEI rules.
cULtUrAl aPpRoPrIAtIoN!!!
Ubisoft has ALWAYS been trying to cut corners in it's games Art Design. When Beyond Good and Evil 2 trailer got released, they were promoting some program where Artists could make art for the game (but don't get paid with money; just recognition). They were crowd-sourcing their game's art and world design to random people. I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft eventually cancels all art design folks and replace them with AI generated material in the future.
Should demand $500 for each collector's edition sold with their stolen flag
2 pages in the artbook are made in AI and almost all images are just normally downloaded in the internet.
"Except for being included in the artbook in the Collector’s Edition?"
Not only did Ubisoft plagiarize the images, they also chose to make ill-gotten gains for themselves by refusing to remove the images from the art book.
They stole not only pictures from Sekigahara rifle corps, but also pictures from Soma Nomaoi!
DEI? ha.
UBI Japanの謝罪ポストのコメント欄をみると分かりますが、日本人は「ケンカを売っているのか」と感じてます
I doubt they forgave Ubishaft especially after the disrespect
Copyright laws in japan are insane. There is no way they can avoid some kind of payout if its still in their deluxe version
They are not sorry ! The feel sorry for their decreasing income ,racist woke Ubisoft , make them broke, don’t buy it , I signed , sing also.
I would really start proposing to the Japanese Prime Minister to action against Ubisoft for their blatant racism and grotesque cultural appropriation and disrespectful disregard for historical Japanese culture.
Ubisoft: "We apologize for stealing your art."
What about the very public racism and discrimination? The shit writing, the shit game, the shit price, the shit EVERYTHING of AC: Shadows?!
Japan doesn't have a culture of theft, but leave it to the American involvement to steal from them. And given the target demographic its supporting (not the Japanese).
Ubisoft's French and are in France, ain't US this time
Everyone forgets this company was notorious for sexual misconduct in the workplace, like pub crawls they had cubical crawls with female workers.
In a couple year everyone will forget this too and purchase their next pile crap.
People have to stop being goldfish and forgetting the same companies doing something wrong every 5 years, cause these companies still thrive.
Uh, oh....incoming lawsuits and diplomatic incidents.
I am Japanese and use the translation function.
As for the flag of the current Japanese organization, for which the game company made a token apology this time,
I think they apologized because Japan has been making a fuss and finally the awareness of the country abroad has spread.
Otherwise, the fact that they have been ignoring the large number of messages from many Japanese people and the comments and questions from the current organization for a long time will never change.
By the way, from the Japanese side, most of the scenery and non-player characters that the game company found on the game screens that it has released now look like they are almost all constructed from a large amount of Japanese concept art and some stolen images from China.
The use of the organization's flag is cute.
If you are interested, there are many videos on CZcams posted by Japanese people that explain in detail where the stolen images are.
However, even us Japanese people laughed at the use of electric poles and guardrails, following the ropes used in modern construction sites.
If they insist that this is perfectly accurate historical fact,
how long ago was Japan modern?
I apologize if there are any typos.
I heard they also used the wrong logographic (?) character texts. So not only did they change Yasuke's actual history in real life, Use some random flag online (which is also a modern flag) this is how "serious" they are in respecting another country's culture here.
Apologizing for one relatively minor part in order to divert attention from the other issues.
Of course its ignored. They dont axtually respect other cultures, they are following their programming as far as what should be respected. And to them european/white and asian culture should not be respected due to the traditional values they tend to hold up to
The same people who were mad about Ghost of Tsushima are praising this game.
Wonder what else has been stolen in past games?
Oh sorry, "accidentally appropriated"
