My local source confirms:
The Itate Hyozu Jinja shrine in Japan has filed a formal request to Ubisoft, asking them to remove the entire religious site from Assassin's Creed Shadows.
My source tells me the temple leaders are very upset at the use of their shrine and the ability to destroy the interior.
The temple joins a long list of Japan gaffes that have plagued the game, such as the unauthorized use of the Sekigahara Rifle Corp banner in the Art Book concept art.
Assassin's Creed Shadows loudly touted the sensitivity and research that went into the game, hiring several...shall we say...questionable historians to consult on the title. It has been an unmitigated disaster so far and Japan is not happy.
