Ubisoft warns developers against social media posts

Ubisoft's upcoming game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, faces challenges ahead of its release. Developers have reportedly been advised against posting on social media to avoid harassment linked to the game's themes and characters, particularly an African samurai protagonist. The company is monitoring online discussions to protect its staff from targeted attacks. Ubisoft emphasized employee safety and provides resources for navigating online interactions, though it did not confirm the specific advice given to developers. In recent months, Ubisoft has responded to online criticism and harassment, with CEO Yves Guillemot condemning attacks on staff. The official Assassin’s Creed account has also engaged with critics, highlighting support for the game amid ongoing controversies.
