Speaking in a <a href=\"https:\/\/game.watch.impress.co.jp\/docs\/interview\/1598610.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent interview with Game Watch<\/a>, Benoit discusses the team\u2019s position on historical accuracy and reveals that the tatami matting will likely look correct in the actual game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assassin&#039;s Creed Shadows: Official World Premiere Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vovkzbtYBC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement of Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows last month prompted a flurry of varied reactions to its Sengoku-era Japan setting and its <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/assassins-creed-shadows-how-are-japanese-users-reacting-to-yasuke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">choice of Yasuke<\/a> as one of the lead characters. In Japan, however, eagle-eyed viewers homed in on more subtle cultural and architectural aspects. The complaints centered on the indoor scene in which warlord Oda Nobunaga is meeting with his vassals. A <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Dehya_is_Goddes\/status\/1792108322084237693\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">viral post on X<\/a> and accompanying screenshot highlighted how the architecture of the room doesn\u2019t really make sense. Receiving particular focus were the square-shaped tatami mats. Tatami mats should be rectangular with uniform-sized borders around the edges- as many Japanese users pointed out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1915\" height=\"818\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1915px) 100vw, 1915px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32310-001.jpeg\" alt=\"Assassin's Creed Tatami\" class=\"wp-image-32315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32310-001.jpeg 1915w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32310-001-380x162.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32310-001-768x328.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32310-001-1536x656.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240612-32310-001-600x256.jpeg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the various other issues in the trailer that Japanese users picked up on (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/assassins-creed-shadows-earns-ire-of-japanese-people-with-inaccurate-architecture-costumes-and-etiquette\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detailed in our previous article<\/a>),&nbsp; the strangely-shaped tatami mats garnered the most attention, leading Game Watch to ask Benoit directly about them.

He acknowledges that the team does their best but sometimes mistakes can happen, \u201cWe always try to correct mistakes as much as possible.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the interview, Benoit also revealed that Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows will have a collecting element like in Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, which will allow the player to learn more about culture and society in Sengoku period Japan as they explore the world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubisoft.com\/en-us\/game\/assassins-creed\/shadows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/a>\u00a0is scheduled to be released on November 15 for PS5, Xbox Series S|X, PC and Mac.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows&#8217; director recently addressed Japanese users&#8217; viral complaints about the inaccurate tatami mats seen in the trailer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":32317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-32310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-global-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
