Prior to this apology, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot spoke out to condemn “malicious and personal online attacks” directed at Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ development team following its May reveal.
When Ubisoft unveiled Assassin’s Creed Shadows in May, there was backlash directed at the inclusion of this historical character.
When Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches this November, it will have been in development for four years.
Ubisoft is set to release the latest entry in its long running Assassin’s Creed series in a few months, and ahead of this has suggested future games will see a longer development time.
