Even the rowdiest of samurai knows when and where to not make a mess, it seems. Accompanying its launch today, Ubisoft have rolled out a small initial patch for the hotly debated sneaky sandbox Assassin’s Creed Shadows. While some of the changes are obvious and important fixes (such as players no longer getting stuck inside movable objects), the full patch notes—provided to IGN—and not included in any other public facing fashion thus far include some unusual tweaks to limit the amount of havoc players can wreak on Japan’s historical sites of worship.
Specifically, the unique tables and racks used in the game’s temples and shrines have been rendered invulnerable. Some stuff within shrines can still be broken, but only generic objects like drums or bowls that appear elsewhere. Unarmed citizens also no longer bleed when hit, preventing potentially pot-stirring players from drenching those locations with gore and sharing the aftermath through the game’s photo mode. The full patch notes (as provided to IGN) are as follows:
