Some Japanese government ministries have responded to a request for their views on Assassin's Creed Shadows's apparent historical inaccuracies. Basically, their responses don't exactly comprise part of a big or heated debate, all they've seemigly done is either decline to comment, or wheel out their generic response when it comes to video games.
