The maker of an Assassin's Creed Shadows statue has said it will now rework the model's design, after describing its appearance as "insensitive". In a statement released via social media yesterday, model company Purearts said it had "immediately returned to the drawing board" to rework its collectible statuette that featured Assassin's Creed Shadows main characters Yasuke and Naoe, following "concerns" raised by some fans. Well, Purearts' original design included a broken torii gate, similar to one found in Nagasaki that broke amidst the city's 1945 atomic bomb blast.
