In addition to that, the game itself is already looking pretty bad. From the gameplay trailers we got, we had the sword model clipping through the characters in full view, floating doors, strange level geometry, incorrect/inaccurate Japanese architecture for the time period, rough combat animations (where the characters also clip through each other), and implementing a dumb as fuck system where you're forced to switch characters despite saying that the game wouldn't limit you in choosing a play style.

Mind you, all of this was discovered from their own trailers, the least likely place to find obvious bugs and problems considering it's supposed to be the best footage they can show of their own game.

Their last trailer for the game had the jankiest horse animation ever created sliding across the floor in the first 30 seconds. It's so bad, it's the most watched part of their trailer.

They even got caught using bots to fake engagement.

Total War games have had better horse animations than that and those are supposed to be queued up between hundreds of cohesive units with lesser detail by design

And Total War still has shit horse animations
wow

I think Asmongold is going to be right. He thought that once the game releases and everyone sees how shit it is, the Yasuke stuff isn't even going to be in the top 10 worst issues with the game.

The delay wasn't even from the all the other shit around it, by their own admittance, the game was really in a god-awful state and all the drama would have been the icing on the shit-cake. The delay probably won't help in the slightest, either.

A four month delay means basically nothing in modern game development. It's just so they don't have Outlaws and AC Shadows bomb immediately back to back.

The funniest bit is that the entire stuff with Yasuke is that they ended up there as a way of trying to appease every faction. They basically went through the hierarchy of crybabbies and landed on the most absolutely of classic westernism: be really racist to someone they don't think will care. Catch is, the Japanese absolutely do care and enough non-Japanese are familiar with the setting to know something is wrong.

That said, those choices come after a long chain of crippling mistakes. They also have some multi-player function that was to come later that'll be bundled now. Minus the fact they're launching it into what'll also be the Switch 2's launch window.

The "Day 1 patch" and the "fix it in 2 months" stuff was clearly too big. It's also possible they were going to have an issue like Star Wars: Outlaws where patches would kill saved games. Which is kind of an issue offering "early" access.

A four month delay means basically nothing in modern game development. It's just so they don't have Outlaws and AC Shadows bomb immediately back to back.

I think that's the primary reason, but the state of the game is probably such that they can't afford a slow launch and the "patch it 2 months later" issues. Word of mouth still REALLY matters to game sales. Launching clean makes you a lot more money.

Ubisoft learned that Japanese history is one of the most politicized things in Japan.

I'm glad to see Hakos Baelz playing a retro game from "back in the day," as she says:
