Since its release, the latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series, Assassin's Creed Shadow, has sparked a lot of controversy over the black protagonist Misaki and the "dual protagonist" mode. Many players speculate that Ubisoft may abandon the "dual protagonist" mode in the future. Recently, Simon Lemay Comtois, Deputy Director of Games, stated in an interview with GamesRadar+that the controversy surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadow will not affect Ubisoft's retreat from using the "dual protagonist" mode.
Simon Lemay Comtois also mentioned that Ubisoft's future Assassin's Creed series may continue to adopt similar structures, even using a "dual protagonist" mode, provided that the narrative and worldview design are reasonable.
Simon Lemay Cantois also mentioned that in fact, Assassin's Creed: Shadow will cause controversy due to the presence of the two main characters, Mitsuru and Naoki, which Ubisoft had anticipated. After all, after the release of Assassin's Creed: Nobita, similar controversies arose due to the appearance of the two main characters, Eve Fry and Jacob Fry. However, the contrast between the roles of Misaki and Natsuke is too great, and the controversy surrounding the "dual protagonists" in Assassin's Creed: Shadow is even more evident.
It is worth mentioning that in response to the controversy surrounding the "dual protagonist" system in Assassin's Creed: Shadow, there was no direct mention of the emergence of this controversy, which was caused by some players engaging in racist attacks against the special character of Mi Zhu. However, Marc Alexis C ? t é, the executive producer of the Assassin's Creed series, previously mentioned that the reason for this controversy is due to some people's "biased attacks".
