This time, it involves the use of a flag that belongs to a group of military re-enactors in Japan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ubisoft on July 8 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/ubisoft-apologies-for-assassins-creed-shadows-flag-art-infringement\/\">apologized<\/a> (via a post on X) to the group, Sekigahara Teppo-tai, who commemorate the Battle of Sekigahara on Oct. 21, 1600, a pivotal moment in Japan\u2019s feudal history. The flag has been seen in concept art showing the adventure game, which was announced on May 16.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">2019\u5e7410\u670827\u65e5\u306b\u9e7f\u5150\u5cf6\u770c\u306e\u5999\u5186\u5bfa\u8a63\u308a\u306e\u6642\u306b\u64ae\u3063\u305f\u5199\u771f\u304b\u3089\u5207\u308a\u629c\u304d\u3067\u3059\u304c\u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\u3055\u305b\u3066\u9802\u304d\u307e\u3059 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ccw0g21nHH\">pic.twitter.com\/Ccw0g21nHH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u5f71\u5c71\uff20\u95a2\u30b1\u539f\u9244\u7832\u968a (@matchlock_kage) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/matchlock_kage\/status\/1802706535979638836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 17, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Military re-enactors tend to be a rather conservative lot and Ubisoft was <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/cancel-assassins-creed-shadows-demand-angry-japanese-gamers-furious-at-ubisofts-lack-of-cultural-respect\/\">already taking stick from Japanese fans<\/a> for the ethnicity of the main characters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now the French publisher has to apologize for something it\u2019s been accused of before, which is using art that developers find on the Internet and don\u2019t have the rights to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sekigahara Teppo-tai confirmed on X that Ubisoft had apologized.
