In this riveting episode, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows plunges us into Japan's Sangoku period, introducing historical figures like Fuji Bashi and Yasuke, the African samurai. The game expertly weaves together fact and fiction, delivering a tale of revenge and betrayal that keeps players on the edge of their seats. As with previous titles, Assassin's Creed dives into a science fiction conspiracy involving a secret society and ancient civilizations' mystical powers. While Ubisoft's open-world creations are steeped in historical accuracy, they also take creative liberties to craft an immersive gaming experience.
The video meticulously dissects 10 historical inaccuracies within the Assassin's Creed series, starting with the fictional feud between the Assassins and Templars. It sheds light on the exaggerated portrayal of the Borgias as nefarious villains, questioning Machiavelli's unlikely role as an assassin. The bromance between Ezio and Da Vinci is celebrated, although Da Vinci's inaccurate movements in the game raise eyebrows among history buffs. The Boston Tea Party's violent depiction in Assassin's Creed 3 starkly contrasts with the peaceful protest it was in reality, showcasing the game's dramatic reinterpretation of historical events.
Connor's allegiance with the Patriots in the American Revolution goes against the Mohawk people's actual alliance with the British, sparking debates among historians. Assassin's Creed Unity's skewed narrative of the French Revolution shifts blame onto Templars, distorting the monarchy's downfall and oversimplifying a complex historical event. The portrayal of Jack the Ripper as a rogue assassin in Assassin's Creed Syndicate adds a thrilling twist to the real-life mystery, showcasing the game's knack for blending fact with fiction. In Assassin's Creed Origins, the game's depiction of Julius Caesar's assassination as a fight against tyranny contradicts established historical records, highlighting the series' penchant for historical revisionism in the name of entertainment.
