Ubisoft Japan has announced the cancellation of the Ubisoft Japan Official Broadcast scheduled to take place at the Tokyo Game Show 2024 on September 26 via their official X account. The decision to cancel the livestream was made due to undisclosed reasons, but the reward giveaway activities will still continue as planned.
In the original schedule, Ubisoft was set to showcase games such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Star Wars Outlaws, Rainbow Six: Siege, and Xdefiant at the event. The cancellation of the livestream this time, though not explicitly stated by Ubisoft, is believed to be related to artistic and intellectual property rights issues regarding the game Assassin’s Creed Shadows, for which Ubisoft did not obtain official permission in Japan.
