Clips from the Parliamentary discussion on Assassin’s Creed Shadows
【Summary of Japan’s Parliamentary Discussion on Assassin’s Creed Shadows】
Hiroyuki Kada reviewed early gameplay footage of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and raised concerns about:
• A shrine altar being destroyed in the game.
• A shrine from his home district appearing without permission to use its name.
Kada then pointed out the risk of the game encouraging real-world vandalism, noting that:
• Some tourists have climbed shrine torii gates and committed graffiti.
• This kind of cultural disrespect is unacceptable.
In response, Vice Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Ōgushi stated that unauthorized use of real-world locations is unacceptable.
Prime Minister Ishiba responded:
• Graffiti on shrines is absolutely unacceptable.
• Japan will not simply remain silent on such issues.
• Showing respect for local cultures should be common sense.
